cecilsav 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi. I purchsed FSMap and I am still getting to used to what all it will do but I have one thing that I can't figure out. I can't get the imported flight plan to show up in the gauge on the panel. I don't get in on any map or where it supposed to show waypoints. It does show up on the windowed map. I somehow feel this is FSUIPC related? Cecil Savage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odaat 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I somehow feel this is FSUIPC related? Cecil Savage That would depend on whether you are using FS 2004 or FSX. If you have it set to FSX it used simconnect. If you have it connected to FS9 it uses fsuipc. I'm not sure what you have tried already so maybe you could let us know what version you are using and what you have tried?

cecilsav 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Sorry about that. It's FS9 which is why I supect something wrong with FSUIPC. Cecil Savage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daytonite_andy 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Did you install the version of FSUIPC that is included with the program or do you have a registered version already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecilsav 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Did you install the version of FSUIPC that is included with the program or do you have a registered version already?I have a fully registered version. 3.75 I think. (at work now so I can't look). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Molitor 24 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 @cecilsav What do you mean with "imported Flight Plan"? The gauge will only show those plans which have been loaded with FS. The gauge does not use FSUIPC or SimConnect to get the plan. There is an internal FS API which is used to load it. Regards Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecilsav 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 When I go to the FSMap toolbar I click where it says "load flightplan". I create my flight plans with FS Build but it stores them in the FS9 folder with the .pln extension. Like I say I can see the flight plan in the window with the tool bars but I never see the flightplan in the plane itself. I hope that makes sense?

Thomas Molitor 24 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 You will need to load the plan in FS. Otherwise it won't show up in the gauge. Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecilsav 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 You will need to load the plan in FS. Otherwise it won't show up in the gauge. ThomasI assume you mean by using the FS9 Flight Planner? If so then yes I do that too otherwise I can't load a company route in my FMC. I also want to say thank you for the great products. I also have FS Kepper and won't fly without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Molitor 24 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Another thing you can check: Is the Flight Plan option turned in MAP mode? Thoams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Gauge window click on Menu/Ent and have you selected Flight Plan within the Gauge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecilsav 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 I hope you guys can see these 2 files. One will show my plane sitting at KIAH with a flight plan loaded but I don't see it. The other file shows the gauge but again there is no flight plan info as there should be. But I can see the flight plan in the FSMap main window with a blue line indicating the path and I also see waypoints. Also note that I do have the "Flightplan option" clicked.

Thomas Molitor 24 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi, can you send the flight plan to the FSMap support email. Thanks Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James A 39 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hi Cecil, One major thing I have noticed and at present nobody else has picked up on is that you are stationary at the airport. Have you tried taking off and seeing what happens within the Gauge. At present when your IAS (indicated Air Speed) is bellow 40 and you are at an airport then the only thing you will see is the airport diagram!! As you roll down the runway and exceed 40 then the map view changes to the selected map then, if you have a flight plan loaded that will be overlaid onto your map. Hope this clarifies your issue.

cecilsav 0 Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Finally got a chance to fly again. Heere is a snapshot of the plane in the air and still no flightplan. Again, I do see the flight plan in the FSMap menua window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Molitor 24 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Which aircraft is that? Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecilsav 0 Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Wilco 737-300. Thomas I also wanted to note that I get a message on the gauge when I first turn it on telling me that my GPS is not connected. Anything there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Cecil, If you choose another aircraft is the result the same? I seem to recall quite a few years back mind you that certain add on Aircraft which have their own FMC etc etc will give you probs that normal aircraft will not, hence, this may well be down to the aircraft and not FSMap.

cecilsav 0 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 I fly nothing but payware aircraft (Feelthere and PMDG mostly) so I can say if I would get the same results with FS9 aircraft but I'll run a test and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecilsav 0 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 I did my test using freware aircraft and got the same result: I an see the flightplan in the windowed mode but not in the panel gauge. I give up I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Molitor 24 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 OK. The missing GPS connection is the problem then. Can you please check if you have the following file in your "FSModules" folder: "gps_export.dll". If yes, then which version is it (it should be 9.1.0.40901).

cecilsav 0 Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 It's there and is the correct version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Molitor 24 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I have the Wilco 737-300 installed on one of my systems. I will check it and report back. Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Molitor 24 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 OK. I have tested it and I get the same result: GPS is not connected. I don't know what feelThere is doing there, but FSMap is not able to connect to the standard FS GPS system. A workaround is to load a default aircraft (e.g. 734) and then switch to the Wilco 733. Hope this helps Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecilsav 0 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Thanks for the follow up. You might also note that I get the same result with my PMDG aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
