Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted January 17, 2008 Aerosoft Share Posted January 17, 2008 FSMap is an application that brings paper charts into the digital age. It consists of two parts that can be used separate or together; the main FSMap program and the FSMap gauge that will be part of your aircraft panel. Both can function as a Moving Map with additional features like TCAS etc. The demo version is time limited (30 days) and only contains the detailed chart for Germany West. To get the demo version of FSMap follow this procedure: * Download the demo version of the file http://www.aerosoft2.de/downloads/fsmap/AS...AP_100_DEMO.zip * Navigate to the Trial Key Page http://www.fsmap.net/Trial.asp , enter your name and email address * You will be send a Trial Key by email * Install the product and enter the Trial Key, FSMap is now operational There is no reason not to try FSMap, the installer is absolutely State of the Art and removing the product is as easy as installing it. We will fully support the trial version on the forums FSMap features: • Fully licensed VFR charts for Austria, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland included (okay and Luxembourg…) • Extensive map filtering for a type for maps (General, IFR, VFR, Airport) and then filter by IFR and VFR maps (General and Airport types are always) displayed. • Loads default FS flight plans and displays them on top of the charts • Every chart you got in bitmap format can be imported, from large scale enroute charts to the most detailed taxi charts (for example all USA sectionals and airport charts found on Avsim and other internet websites) • Can import maps from FSMoving Map • Shows ALL traffic and controllers from IVAO and VatSim in real time • Options to export regions to share with others • Easy to add and calibrate charts so they can be used • The gauge can be inserted into any panel using very easy interface (no editing of panel files needed) • The FSMap application connects to FSX using SimConnect, FS2004 and FS2002 connect via FSUIPC (registered version required). • The FSMap application can be run on a separate computer using SimConnect for FSX or WideFS for FS2004 and FS2002 (registered version WideFS required) • Highly professional development (like FS Flight Keeper) • Trial version available (fully functional for 30 days and only covers Germany West, otherwise the installer would be too large) TACS information (shown in the FSMap gauge). Traffic Alert over Frankfurt (shown in the FSMap gauge). FSMap gauge menu structure. FSMap main gauge, showing IVAO traffic and flightplan. Parked at gate. IVAO traffic and controllers (of course it can show VatSim as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Aerosoft Share Posted January 17, 2008 I just got two mails asking if FSMap covers the UK (and if not, why not). Well it does not cover it in the version we sell right now, but of course if you got access to bitmap charts they can be imported very easy. The 'why not' is important to understand. Getting the license the charts for one country costs thousands of euro's. If we would cover 5 more countries is would immediately double the price (while keeping the margin for the developer and Aerosoft the same). If we would cover the whole of Europe you would be looking at a 200+ Euro product. So we made a choice based on our most important markets. Getting fully licensed charts assures the product is fully legal (of course) but also that the quality of the charts is the best possible.

Marc W. 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Have to note a bug with the registration key, though ... copying / pasting works ... however MANUALLY entering the key yields something weird : For reasons unknown the second and third character in the first field where NOT accepted (as if the keyboard was dead - which it wasn't of course ) - no Caps/Lock thing ... it just wouldn't let me enter the correct keys ... reproducable (!) ... it DID work with all the other fields ... Well, no biggie though, as copying / pasting worked fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Molitor 24 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks for finding this really stupid bug. No one in the beta team actually entered the key by hand. :oops: This will be fixed with the next release. Thanks Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbeast76 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 hello FS MAP cannot find FS 2004 only FSX where is the problem?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Molitor 24 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Most probably your Registry is not up to date. The FS9 installer creates a key under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft GamesFlight Simulator9.0 The key name is "EXE Path". If this key is missing FSMap will not be able to find your installation. There is a tool available to fix this problem. Visit http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=library and download the "FSX/FS9 Registry Repair Tool". Hope this helps Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc W. 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Have been playing with this thing for a while now ... Marvellous, nicely done, Thomas & Team ... Tons of options, still, no need to go through the manual to get the thing running (lol!) Everything self-explanatory ... good stuff! ( I like the option to have the map north-fixed... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( I like the option to have the map north-fixed... ) North Fixed is also a bit easier on your framerate, rotating massive bitmaps as FSMap can do (even it uses some of the fastest, most expensive, subroutines for that) is hard on the system.

Cartman 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Does it work with Vista64 and does the TCAS plays alert sounds (traffic, climb etc.)? And is it necessary to run the external application to use the gauge? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckair 1 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Downloaded FSMap with no trouble and even got it to run watching all the chaps flying over Germany - simply brilliant . Even can see me taking off from EDGT - so cool Then I decided it was time to put the gauge into one of the Beavers (British Army) - got the attached message when I selected the aircraft right at the start :cry: Anybody any clue as to what I've done wrong please. Even with this Thomas it's fantastic - very many thanks for all the hard work you've done for us! Kind Regards, Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Molitor 24 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi, can you please give some more details about your system and FSX. Have you tried some other aircraft? If I remember right the Aerosoft Beaver does not have a 2D panel, so how did you add FSMap to this aircraft? Thanks Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckair 1 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi Thomas, Running FSX on XP. I'm at work at the moment so having to do this from memory. I opened the manage gauge and the aircraft were listed there. I tunnelled down to the Beaver British Army and right clicked on it. Below that there was a FSMap sub folder. When I installed the gauge the gauge alone appeared on the right hand side of the screen. I saved it and then tried to open FSX. When I got to select the aircraft I got the error message. I've still got to try it on an aircraft with a 2D panel. In addition to that I need to migrate my system onto a larger drive so it's all going to get rebuilt anyway. I've had nothing but minor problems since I installed SP2, didn't like what it did, and uninstalled it so I could well be the maker of my own problems I mounted a second monitor on my graphics card (Nvidia 7600 GS 256 MB) and loaded the trike. I could see that move and all the corner information boxes kept track of it as well. I'm pretty sure the rebuild will take care of everything. I just hoped that what I saw was something you knew about and answer with a 'turn this off and that on' sort of reply. Kind Regards, Cliff Edit: Wishful thinking on graphics card memory size.

Thomas Molitor 24 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 It could be that uninstalling SP2 left something, which might cause this problem. But lets try it first on another aircraft. Do you have FS9 installed? If so can you try the Gauge there. Thanks Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Thomas I will try it in the mean time on the beaverX, could very well be the fact it does not have a 2d panel. if so we could solve it from that end.

Thomas Molitor 24 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I already tried it and it works fine on my FSX with SP1 or SP2. Except for the fact that FS always maximizes the FSMap gauge and this is caused by the missing main 2d panel. Maybe we could modify the VC and replace the GPS with FSMap.

Duckair 1 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 it could be that uninstalling SP2 left something, which might cause this problem. I think you're right!! I was a bit suspicious before I installed it and so created a restore point. When it stopped me loading the Do-27 I rolled it back to the restore point. So there actually wasn't an 'uninstall' in the true sense of the word. :oops: Sorry Thomas but I've only got FSX installed. When I built the PC I wanted to keep it as lean as possible. Before I start the rebuild I'll try it on an aircraft with a 2D panel and let you know how it goes - that should be sometime this afternoon (we don't work Friday afternoons) Kind Regards, Cliff[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
