I find it an excellent addition to my Flight Sim explorations, (FS 2004 and FSX), to be able to follow my progress in real-time on the various Google GPS Maps, eg: (Map, Terrain, and Satellite).

At the moment some of us are busy trying to incorporate Plan-G into our Multiplayer flight activity using various Server hosts.

It really is an excellent program, and very user-friendly... Smiley

Just curious...

When planning the flight does it pull through to FSX? Viable in the default GPS?

Would I need to minimize FSX to view the program or can it be opended in FSX? Menu bar perhaps?

Thanking helpers in advance

To gain access to Plan-G, I run FSX or FS 2004 in Windowed Mode.
FSX or FS2004 and Plan-G both sit in the Windows Task bar, and I swap between the two with a mouse click whilst the program is running, bringing either one to the foreground, as required..

Paul.... Cool

You can export a flight plan to FS9/FSX and then load it in the sim. Also you can load flight plans created in FS9/FSX into Plan-G.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation. Igor Sikorsky
