• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

I am enjoying this map addon on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

Available for 10" and 7" Android tablets

FlightMap is a useful navigation utility and moving map for Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX) and Lockheed Martin's simulator Prepar3D. 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.FlightMap utilizes the free server component called FlightConnect that runs on the same computer as the Flight Simulator. You must install and run this server before FlightMap will be able to function. FlightMap currently works on Wifi networks only. You can download FlightConnect from my website at:

FlightMap is designed for 7 and 10 inch tablets. I have not tested it on other size tablets.
FlightMap offers the following features:
1. Maps your current simulated airplane position on top of Google Maps
2. Supports Satellite, Google Standard, and Height map display types
3. Shows simulated gauges for Air Speed, Altitude, Heading, and Fuel Levels (10 inch tablets only)
4. Support for General Aircraft Air Speed Indicator (<250 knots) and the default 500 knot indicator. (10 inch tablets only)
5. Overlays compass rose on top of the map view for easier navigation and orientation
6. Support for ad-hoc flight plans via the built in plan mode.
7. FlightMap has a database of over 500 major airports throughout the entire world that can be used as part of the ad-hoc flight plans.
8. If you have an active flight plan within Flight Simulator X, FlightMap will plot the waypoint in GPS mode and automatically update as you pass each waypoint.



The developer, Eric Banker, is looking for more beta and alpha testers for new features and apps:
