exploreall 5 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I managed to get Flight Keeper 3.5 working in P3D V4 by using registered version of FSUIPC5 It does not record the departure or arrival airports as it did in P3D v3 or the flight plan In P3D v3 the airport database didn't work but that was easy to ignore In v4 the flight path is at least recorded and airports take a couple of seconds to enter manually before saving the flight However the airport codes are no longer shown on the map even though they are in Anyone else have similar experience with Flight Keeper in P3D v4?

exploreall 5 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Noticed last night that flight plan is not being exported to Active Sky for v4 either Peter from FSUIPC is away on holidays a few days so maybe he has some answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flight4 3 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Hi, I am still using FSFK 3.5.1 and on the whole it is working with P3D v.4.1. It records the flights including the IVAO codes of departure and arrival airports. The airport codes are shown in the map. But there are three restrictions, maybe because I use unregistered FSUIPC instead of registered one in former FSX: 1. When connecting FSFK with Simulator a message is shown: unexpected version of simulator, warnig for unnormal effects. When pressing OK it takes much more time to establish the connection. 2. On ground FSFK does not report the path (red line), so taxi and parking is not represented on the map. 3. Airborne path is represented, but the intervals of reported points are very large. So the flightpath is not shown accurate, that is unfortunate concerning the procedures of departure and arrival. It's not perfect and I hope for resolving, but I am lucky to continue my personal database of nearly 1200 flights since 2004. Other features of FSFK other than logging the flights are unimportant for me and not tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2302ts 6 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I would also love to see an updated version of FSFK, I would pay for it. FSFK has been the one and only addon that I used for every flight since it came out. Like flight4 I am interested in the logging functionality "only" (times!, fuel weights, flightpath). It doesn't have to have all the details logged (like ADF1, 2 and 3 frequencies, oil quantity...), and things like AirTV or the map gauge I never used. So basically a slim version of FSFK for P3D would be much much much loved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty.Hawk 0 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I wrote an email to Mr. Molitor with the question whether he will update this program or not. I am waiting for half a year for an answer. This program I believe is sentence to death. It is really a strong program but only for FSX or below. It is a pitty kitty.hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2302ts 6 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 According to this post by Mathijs there is at least some communication with the developer of FSFK going on :-) Is there anything you guys can tell us about the status or future of FSFK (in limbo, might get worked on, is being worked on...)? Anything would be greatly appreciated.... love FSFK! Best regards Raffael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its interesting how your FSFK is working differently from mine with P3D v4,1 I get the same warning message but that can be ignored and although with v4,0 it was taking a long time to connect now it connects within seconds Mine records the taxiing but initially no airport data. Tried several times to get it working before but it failed. Now seeing it works for you I tried it just now and it works for me too! Flight path is very accurate, there is an option to select how often the position is recorded I would like to see this app updated as there is nothing at all to replace it. Perhaps like PTA, the developer of FSFK could sell the rights to someone who has the time to update it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never bothered with Acars device as the flight route on the map is my main desire I have FS map too from Thomas but now its dead. I use planes with GPS or my Flight1 Garmin which opens in a separate window I have been using Flight Keeper since 2002 or when ever it first came out I remember using some other flight recorder but as soon as FSFK came out I jumped to it because it was much better Sadly nothing else even comes close that is why I suggested to Aerosoft that it comes to life again either from original developer or someone who is passionate about continuing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draci 2 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Any news whether the ACARS device is working in P3D v4? I'm finally planning to switch from FSX to P3Dv4 but I'm hesitating since I can't imagine flying without the ACARS device of FlightKeeper. What I especially liked is that it shows the active runways at departure and arrival airport, very convenient to plan ahead and pick the right SID and STAR. Never found another add-on capable of doing this. Best regards draci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
