[Little green plane icon in corner]

Thank you. I missed that.

 

Why doesn't it work for X-Plane? To collect the simmer's aircraft location, you don't even need a plugin with X-Plane. X-Plane can broadcast the aircraft position and any software can capture it.

In its simplest instance, you don't even need a plugin for that.

Dear simmers,

 

In NDP Charts, on some charts, there is a little green airplane icon. I SUPPOSE it is meant to move on the "chart" with your plane.

I my case, it stay quietly in the upper left corner of the chart display area.

 

My question is simple: What is that little green icon? Is it supposed to move? How?

 

In the "distribution" of NDP charts, there was no instruction, no manual, no read me, no additional software (plugin) to install in my simulator (X-Plane).

Is there a manual somewhere here on this site? (I apologize in advance if I missed it.)

 

In the case of X-Plane, it is possible for external software to capture a few parameters exposed on the network by the simulator. Is it how NDP charts capture the aircraft position?

If I run the NDP chart software on another computer or tablet, how does the software find X-Plane's server?

[Charts down again (?)]

Hi,

 

I'm not alone then. Yesterday, I could not access any chart either. I entered a support request.

NavDataPro Charts is not even in the list of "support items/questions", you have to choose "Other".

This is my first experience with NDP Charts, I just bought a one month subscription to test it, but so far my experience is not very good at all.

I do prefer the symbolic and organisation of Lido charts ever Jeppesen's, and that's why I wanted to give it a try.

I tested the application on MacOS, iOS and Android. It does not very well at all in all three systems.

I haven't tested web access though. Is it better? I'll see later today.

 

To come back to our problem, Aerosoft should offert a WORKING "systems status page" on their web site where we could check "system availability" rather than come here and complain.

From experience, how long do outage last? How frequent are they?

[NDP Charts: App not saving/keeping Favorites?]

NDP Charts 0.1.45

MacOS 12.4, Apple M1

 

Hi,

 

I search for charts, find them, "add them to favorite". Quit the application, start again, no favorite. But charts pinned in Kneeboard are kept as expected.

BTW: I now test NavdataPro against "competition" and I find the application NDP charts of very poor quality. I often need to resize columns, there are confusing search boxes that appears, disappears, in dark mode, text over popup background is unreadable (same color), en route charts are barely readable, you have to zoom them to the max and they get pixelated.

 

Also, what about synching favorites between NDP charts in different devices? (iOS App very poor quality too, yes I read the issues about Aerosoft vs. Apple's commercial policy.)

 

I do prefer the clarity of Lido charts over Jeppessen's, but currently, the NDP chart app is a serious turn down for me.
