What do you use for the FMS?

[Thomas Parker]

I know a couple of you fly with Benedikt Stratmann's 737.. a beautiful freeware plane. But what do you use for an FMS with it? I see advertisements for the GW-FMS. It looks to be a beauty, but it's not quite finished baking yet.

 

I'm currently using the PMDG 737-700. Two things keep me with that.. the FMS and dual-monitor support. But I'm very quickly becoming a HUGE X-Plane fan. That's a lie.. I'm already a huge X-Plane fan. I'd like to shift over to using a 73x on X-Plane.

 

Any ideas? Perhaps I should open up the question to Payware 73's for X-Plane too.

There is the simpleFMC, which runs on both X-Plane and MSFS, so you could use the same FP for both sims

Owen,

 

Thanks. Talk about not connecting the dots.. eh. I've known for a while that SimpleFMC was out there. But never investigated it because I already had what I needed.

 

Thanks for the tip. I'll go check it out.

There's also my FMS programming plugin here:

It doesn't improve the stock FMS, but it makes it simple to program the existing FMS.

Thanks guys for the responses. I played around with both a little. Kieth, you should see a couple of dollars sitting in your inbox. Thanks. It's beauty is it's simplicity.
