Just to let you know that with the Aerosoft A320 the app will only see the waypoints if you set a flight plan in FSX (but the plane won't follow it). If you only set up the flight on the planes own computer the app doesn't see them (unsurprisingly). This won't be possible to overcome. But it's not a problem as you can still flight follow on the app and it's still good for seeing where you are in relation to the approach etc.

Thanks for the info. I went and looked at their support forums and they sure have rewritten almost every system that no hardware addons are working with it without major configuration or changes in the way they signal. They say and SDK will be out to help make all addons work that don't already have work arounds but I don't think I'll be able to support it given everything they are doing. Thanks for letting me know. I'll keep an eye out

I’m working hard to get the next FlightMap update out to my beta testers. I’m nearly done with the full GPS flight plan feature. I’ve also updated the application to work with 4×3 aspect ratio tablets like the HP TouchPad. Hopefully the beta will be out to my testers within the week and if all goes well released to the market next week.

FlightMap version 1.9 has been release to the Play Store. It should be rolling out over the next 24 to 48 hours to everyone. This is a pretty big update with the following features:

- Full FSX and P3D flight plan support in GPS mode
- Course To Steer (CTS) added to GPS mode display
- Estimated time to waypoint (ETE) added to Adhoc flight plan mode (NAV mode)
- Improved the launch page for ease of use as well as other fixes for launching the app
- 10 inch 4×3 tablet support like the HP TouchPad. 4×3 tablets don’t get the Gauges

In 7 inch tablet news I have purchased a Nexus 7 and it is on it's way to me very soon. Version 2.0 will be dedicated to adding 7 inch tablet support.

Sounds good.

I have been busy re-installing Windows and FSX on dedicated SSDs and once it's all running right I will give the latest version a go.

Good luck I just recently had to reinstall FSX as well due to corruption and it took a long while to get it back to how I like it. Thank goodness I had a backup of my fsx config outside the fsx directory. Sometimes a clean install is good tho. After years of playing around there was a lot of junk in my install

I'll be doing a new video soon to show how to use the full flight plan support. I've really tried to make it as easy and seemless as I could. The big thing to remember is make sure FlightConnect is running BEFORE loading the flight plan in FSX or Prepar3D.

Here are some of the first images of FlightMap running on 7 inch tablets. I’ve been able to implement this all in the same application so 1 app will work for 7 inch tablets and above. It’s working really well but I think the buttons on the bottom are a little to small. I’m going to look at removing one or two of the buttons and that should give me some room to play with to make larger hit areas. Overall thought really nice. To maximize screen I did decide to remove the gauges. I’ll be doing a dedicated application just for the gauges in the next few months

I'm looking for some help translating the application. I'm looking to translate to russian, german, french, and spanish. The number of words are actually quite few so if anyone has a few moments and would like to help out please let me know. You can fill out the form on my blog here:

I've made a lot of progress on the 7 inch tablet support in FlightMap. So much so in fact that I just released the first beta to my current testers. I am looking for 2 more beta testers who have 7 inch tablets. I own the new nexus 7 (2013) so I need testers with other devices. If you are interested fill out the form on my blog.

FlightMap 2.0 has been released to the Google Play Store with 7 inch tablet support. 7 inch tablet support is by far the most requested feature and I’m excited to release this version.

FlightMap is a second screen GPS style application that works with FSX and Prepar3D to plot your simulated location and flight plans on Google Maps.

The trial version will be updated within the next 2 weeks to the latest version as well. I’m so excited to be releasing this version and I really hope you all love it.

Thanks, L0stS0ul, bought it last Sunday for my 7" Nexus. Works perfectly although I didn't read the documentation yet.

Awesome, I'm glad to hear it's working well for you . I'll be doing a new video to show off the 7 inch tablet version soon. The last one was for the 10 inch tablet and there are some differences due to size restrictions.

I got all excited when PCPilot said they were doing a feature on tablet apps in this months edition but sadly no mention of this app. However, they say it will be a regular feature so hopefully it will get a deserved mention eventually.

That would be awesome to have it reviewed. That said, I've not had much luck getting reviewers from any site look at it. Not sure why that is. Maybe they only look at ios apps?

On a separate note, I've had a number of requests to build an app that is just the gauges from FlightMap and augment it with a bunch more. I have no idea if anyone would use something like that but I did start work on an app using a lot of the underlying code from FlightMap for my own simpit just to see how quick I could do it.

I was able to get an app up and running in an evening with 4 of the 6 main gauges. I'm calling it FlightGauges for now. I'm about to go in for some pretty major surgery and I'll be out of contact for at least 3 weeks so I have no clue when I'll work on this some more but if anyone has any thoughts on what they would like to see in an app like this I'd love to hear them.

FlightMap 2.4 was just released to the Play store. The following are the main features for this version:

• I’ve completely rewritten the launch networking code to try and make the app more resilient. It will now detect the server ip address change for instance and when you try to connect to the selected ip and the server is not there it will offer up the discovered address as an option.
• I’ve also added the version number of the application to the main display.
• I had a couple of people offer to do translations for Spanish and French so those will be in the next version as well. Thank you so much to Jeff and Bernardo for helping out with those.
• This version also fixes an alignment issue with the bottom button bar on Nook HD’s.
• Finally this version updates the graphics on the direction indicator to be more readable in preparation for FlightGauge.

In FlightGauge news:

I've also made some progress on FlightGauge since the last update. I’m still not happy with the look of the ui but it is getting better. Most of the gauges are functional at this point and are working very smoothly. I do need to work out multiple client support in FlightConnect before I release this new app. To round out the gauges I’m thinking I’ll put electrical and fuel on the right side. There will be quite a bit more space on the 10 inch tablet version and I've not yet decided what I’ll be doing there. The app will launch with 7 and 10 inch tablet support. Below is a recent screenshot of FlightGauge. More information can be found at my blog http://vineripesoftware.wordpress.com

Adding to the resource list.

Flightmap is still working very well. I like the way the full flightplan is shown now and not just the next waypoint. It's great being able to see where you are in relation to a map and your journey.

I am in need of beta testers for both FlightMap and FlightGauge. I'm looking for 7 inch tablet users and 10 inch tablet users. If you are interested please fill out the form on my blog here:
