Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

re FltPlan Go - Your device isn't compatible with this version.
AAAAaarrrgh - The damned thing is only 18 months old.

Might be the other way around... are you on ios 11? I seem to remember a message on Flt Plan Go that they weren't sure they were compatible with 11 yet, but were working on it. So maybe keep an eye on it.
My iPad is work - issued, and I have a recurrent checkride coming up at work, think I'll need to update to 11 to be technically current... I'll be bummed if this stops working for the sim and the little rw GA flying I do... cause this is really almost as good as foreflight!

Ah... Avare is a free one for android, not sure but I think it interfaces with sim too.
From the official FltPlan Go Features list: "Geo-Referenced Approach Plates & Airport Diagrams (U.S. & Canada)".
Are you saying that you're getting full, geo-referenced approach plates and airport diagrams for airports outside of the US and Canada (the UK for instance)?

Ah. No, sorry, I read your post backwards, as: in the US and Canada, only diagrams and plates are available (no enroute charts etc.)
You are correct, looks like most of the aeronautical data is for US and Canada only; I hadn't tasted it elsewhere yet. I'm actually surprised they have free Canadian charts too; must have worked out a deal with Nav Canada.
Non -aeronautical charts do seem to work for the rest of the world and are georeferenced; road, topo, satellite imagery etc.

Android
I have had FltPln for a few years now on my Windows OS but just tried it on my OLD android tablet last night just to plan a short flight and it works great for me. I don't know how to link it to FSX though. any help here appreciated for an old android tablet if its possible. I had trouble trying to link Plan G on it.

My daughter says that my Android tablet is too old to run the FSX integration even though FltPln works just fine on it. I am happy that I can get all the charts; routing etc. so until I get a newer tablet I'll be satisfied. Thank you for the reply, I found the FSX link and the FltPln Go links last night late.
