vasFMC - Flight Management Computer - X-Plane compatible.

[Steve Willis 1027702]

Now this looks promising.(((-: Freeware ladies and gents.

 

I have yet to fire it up, but others may like to evaluate it.

 

"Give me the Features"

 

vasFMC includes the following features:

 

* Powerful but simple to use.

* Works with MSFS 2002 and MSFS 2004 over Peter Dawson’s FSUIPC or WIDEFS.

* Works with unregistered Versions of FSUIPC. (Many thanks to Peter Dawson!)

* Works with X-Plane over a self written UDP interface module.

* Uses up-to-date navigational data from Navdata.at. (Many thanks to Richard Stefan!)

* Routes can be entered via:

o Normal waypoints (e.g. GRZ)

o Airways (e.g. P978.VIW)

o Airports (e.g. LOWG)

o LAT/LON waypoints (e.g. N46.57.3/E15.27.0).

o PBD (Place/Bearing/Disance) waypoints (e.g. GRZ/90/1.3).

o Complete Routes (e.g. LOWG GRZ P978 VIW Q102 RTT LOWI).

* Leg distances, overall distances and trackings are shown.

* Estimated leg times and overall times are calculcated.

* Wind data, magentic variation and gound speed are take into account.

* “Direct-toâ€

Steve,

 

Here's another (payware) that's available, and it works on the Mac for those who care about that (vasFMC doesn't yet):

I've purchased this, but haven't started playing with it yet. However, a number of people in my VA have, and so far, have pretty good things to say about it.
