Postby Bass » Thu Mar 28, 2013 9:22 am

The first time i joined multiplayer session, Fozzer were so kind to join me.... (First time is really a first timer)

He told me, i got you on my radar!!! Now that made me thinking! How on earth can he do that? :shock:

Now, i've installed the fsx built in radar on my Skyhawk

Hello Multiplayer Chums... :D ....
...and all those not using Multiplayer!

For those not lucky enough to have and enjoy the wonderful FS 2004; "FS Navigator program", (Radar Map showing everyone's location and position in the session), these two programs are an excellent alternative:

Freeware. For both FS 2004 and FSX.
Plan-G .... http://www.tasoftware.co.uk/planG.htm (Search the Plan-G Forum for version 2.0.5 which includes the wonderful Google Satellite Maps!).

Freeware (Time limited, then Payware) for FSX.
FSTramp..... http://www.fstramp.com/

Hot Keys will toggle the full screen Maps on and off.

Well worth using, for exploring the Satellite scenery down below!

Paul...FS 2004 and FSX... :mrgreen: ...!

A typical Satellite Map using Plan-G....

..showing my Plane (in Yellow) at Q99 South Co of Santa Clara, in Silicon Valley, surrounded by AI aircraft (in Red), some of which can be other Multiplayers in the session!

The beauty of the "Map Radar" is that it can be used in any aircraft that you happen to be using, at a key press!

The Map can be used in both FS 2004 and FSX, just run the DATA load for the selected Sim!

Paul.... :D ...!
