Cupling FSX to G.Earth

[nichos]

I downloaded FSXGET & installed it & " FSX Google Earth Tracker" went to C:/Program Files.

I executed fsxget, loaded FSX & G.Earth (5.2.1.1588)

The User aircraft yellow square appeared on the ranway, but when airbourn & flying it just stays put there, does not follow the flight tracks.

Is there anything else to do to get it to work & follow?

MODIFY:- I use XPhome, fast CPU+4gb ram & just noticed when I restarted GEarth an error saying
"FSXGET encountered a problem & it shut down"

Have you tried Plan-G?  It interfaces with Google Maps
and works well as a Moving Map and Flight Planner.

thanx Trollen,

downloaded plan G, but when I try to run it it says it has a problem.

installed Netframe 5  but still the same.

any ideas how to make it work?, it seems a good program.

[nichos]

Disregard last post, wrong NetFrame version went in.

With 3.5 SP1 version it worked.

What a fantastic program for mooving map on second screen.

BUT, where can I find instructions on how to use all the fanctions in it??

Thanks a lot
Nick

You will find a PDF Manual in the Plan-G folder.  Its a brilliant addon. 8-)

Thanx again,

do you know if FSX autopilot can be locked on a PlaG flight plangan?

Tried LOCK & SYNCH & NAV in fsx with no luck

[tpollen]

The Plan-G Lock and Sync refers to the positioning of the Aircraft Icon on the Plan-G Map, if you put your mouse over lock and Sync it will give you an indication of what it does.
To have Plan-G and FSX follow the same indicated flight path you need to have the same Flight Plan loaded both in Plan-G and FSX.

Thanx Trollen,
it certainly helped & discovered by programing my free FMS too rhe autopilot couples too.

Only, when cleared to land & I disconnect PG, come off GPS & select APP(roach) I cannot get the the ILS to kick in necessitating manual ILS. 

[tpollen]

No need to disconect PG.  As long as your approach is at the right angle and below the GS, GPS/Nav switch to Nav and have ILS frequency on Nav 1, you should have no problem capturing LOC and GS.

[nichos]

but thst's just what I was doing but their is no glide slope & does not couple.

Then tried S.off the GP with same results.

Must be doing something else wrong.

[tpollen]

Yup, must be something else
