Release: FSMap

[Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558]

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

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)

Dear Mathijs,

Having downloaded and used to my entire satifaction the demo version I have recently ordered and installed the box version.

At first everything seemed to work properly but gradually the following problems arose:

1) When trying to install the map gauge in a given panel the possibility to install it in a separate window (which is by far the most interesting choice since then you can e.g. show the map on a full second screen) has simply disappeared and only the other possibility i.e. locating the map in a fixed panel remains.

However very exceptionnally it still seems to work for a certain aircraft but not always the same.

2) Certain gauges installed tentatively in fixed panels stay there for ever and cannot be removed.

I removed and reinstalled FSMap several times and even FSX itself but, to my great frustration, the above problems remain.

What can I do to correct this malfunctioning of the program?

My system: Intel ® Core 2 Quad 06700 2.66 GHz (4 cores) nVidia 8800GTS 3323MB 32bit - Vista Home Premium.

Question: Incompatibility between FSMap and FSFK 3.0?

Hi Mathijs, having used FSMap (and its update v. 1.02) successfully for some time, and

having meanwhile experimented FS Flight Keeper 3.0 for some time esp. including its maps, I

now experience that FSMap crashes upon starting. This also happens after newly installing

FSMap 1.0 (the installation process ended orderly but FSNap 1.0 crahes upon staring), and

the installer for FSMap 1.02 crashes immediately.

Any advice how to run FSMap again successfully?

Thanx: Klaus "SailingPiliot" (December 28, 2008)

They should work together as they are using the same components on your system. Any other changes in your system before the problem started? Have you tried to remove both applications and then only install FSMap?
