Introduction
During the past couple of years, electronic navigation aids started to
revolutionize aviation. Digitized charts, together with high-resolution
displays and the ability to define your own position precisely via GPS,
are the technological fundament, to have aeronautical information
present even in general aviation aircraft.
Now FSMap brings a realistic simulation of one of the leading devices
in this area to flight simulation. With FSMap you will get high-resolution
digitized VFR charts for Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Benelux
countries. More charts can be added easily by using the integrated
chart editor and configurator. A sophisticated layering system ensures
that you will always see the appropriate chart for the current flight
phase and mode. But FSMap not only displays charts, it also supplies
the virtual pilot with a wealth of information about his flight route,
flight status, AI- and multiplayer traffic, and environmental conditions.
And while you are taxiing on the ground, FSMap can even display
taxiways and parking positions straight out of flight simulator data.
By using the supplied panel editor, the FSMap gauge may be added
to any instrument panel with a few mouse clicks. Besides the supplied
gauge, you may also use FSMap as an external application outside
Flight Simulator. By using FSUIPC (for FS2004) or SimConnect (for FSX),
users may even utilize a second PC in their home network to run the
FSMap application.
And now we wish you pleasant hours of flying with FSMap. Keep the
blue side up!
