Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Free Flight Sim in Google Earth" 09-15-07, 17:54z  I don't know if anyone else has seen this yet, but I thought I'd pass it along. Free Google Earth Flight Sim http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2007/08/flight_simulator_mod.html The demo video on the above page shows a flight from Meigs (which looks a lot like FS2000), but the mountain flying in the F16 using Google Earth's terrain is very nice. If GE makes some add-on development information available, could this mean some real competition for MSFS? Regardless, enjoy!

hawkwind Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 1. "RE: Free Flight Sim in Google Earth" 10-03-07, 21:24z  Hi Ben, Picked this one up a couple of days ago but not had chance to use it/try it yet. Also picked up an add in to FSX so as you can use google earth as a moving map for FSX. Will try them both out at some stage this week. Regards, James.

Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 2. "RE: Free Flight Sim in Google Earth" 10-11-07, 01:56z  Hi James: Vic mentioned some FS2K4 moving map program that uses sectionals that does work with FSX. It sounds like just what we need (electronic flight bag). Vic, can you provide the details again? Thanks!

hawkwind Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 3. "RE: Free Flight Sim in Google Earth" 11-12-07, 11:37z  Hi Guy's, Still no reply from Vic yet <s>. Another one for you folks using FSX and Google Earth that I was kindly given by Ray Proudfoot is http://www.wideview.it/fsearth/ It's a dll which links FSX and Google Earth. Can also show AI Trafic or Multiplayer's. I started using it a few day's ago and it's neat.. Costs about $14-15 to register it.

vgbaron Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 5. "RE: Free Flight Sim in Google Earth" 11-21-07, 03:24z  James - what kind of performance hit do you get? Since I run ASX for real weather, I would imagine some sort of hit using bandwidth for google. Vic Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

vgbaron Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 4. "RE: Free Flight Sim in Google Earth" 11-21-07, 03:22z  Sorry for the delay. It's called FSMM -FS Moving Map. It's available on Avsim and there are sectionals that have been converted there. Vic Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

hawkwind Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 6. "RE: Free Flight Sim in Google Earth" 11-26-07, 12:06z  Hi Vic, Sorry for the delay but been busy <s> At the moment I get a slight stutter (I use it networked) but the cause I've just found out is that on this pc I have dual CPUs and one of them is playing up and also a faulty graphics card or FSX has become naff all of a sudden. Checking them out at some point this week.

hawkwind Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 7. "RE: Free Flight Sim in Google Earth" 11-26-07, 15:58z  Hi Vic (again), Eventually found FSMM on Avsim it's actually FSMMM - you missed an M out <G>. It states for FS2002/2004. Are you using it in FSX. DO you network it?
