marespi 0 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 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? P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Jonas S. 466 Posted July 19, 2022 Aerosoft Share Posted July 19, 2022 Hello @marespi, using the livefeed https://navdatapro.aerosoft.com/ndp-charts-standalone/ shown below "other options", users in P3D could have a moving map. This works only on georeferenced charts though. Unfortunately, nothing for X-Plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marespi 0 Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 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. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
