Don't forget, Chums... ;)...!

....if you are flying on Multiplayer, and you need to access some info on your desktop, Nav Charts, Google Map, Server Knee-board Browser to see who is on-line and where they are.., etc, etc...

Just press the "Windows" key; (between "CTRL" and "Alt").
This will temporally send the Sim to the Task Bar whilst you browse the desktop, then just click on the Sim Icon in the Task Bar to continue the flight again!

...sorted!... :-*...!

Another wonderful add-on for Multiplayer, (or anything else!), from details supplied by our Dave3cu, (many thanks, Dave!), on another Thread...>>>

"Plan-G"

http://www.tasoftware.co.uk/planG.htm

Free, Real-Time, GPS moving map!

An excellent alternative to FS Navigator, for FSX Pilots, Multiplayer and Solo, showing other Aircraft in the Sim!

It can be run for both FS 2004 and FSX, (just swap between the two!).

Tip: Disable "Pause on Task" in the Sim options menu. This will enable the Map to constantly update, without pausing the Sim!

With FS 2004 and/or FSX running in; "Windowed Mode", the Sim and the Map can both be toggles from the Task Bar, during flight!
Now you will never lose your fellow Pilots during your Solo and Multiplayer flights... ;D...!

Have fun, exploring the Google Satellite scenery in real time!

Paul... 8-)...!
