REFLECTOR: Velocity aircraft in X-plane

[Terry Miles]

Alex,

Sorry I should have put this out to the reflector when I found out about it.
Maybe from an article in Private Pilot magazine?  Anyway you can get a
"layer" of VFR sections to apply to GoogleEarth.  Kind of interesting to
see, and good for locating VORs etc.  I don't know how to do it.  You can
get one map from free from chart geek.  But there is an out-of-date full set
around to download.  I don't know where.  

Terry

Hasn't someone written a synthetic vision application for Google earth that
can interface with GPS data? I though I was something about that somewhere..

Hey,

I got another flight sim program of sorts.  Get GoogleEarth.  Then look
around in the features for their flight sim program.  It is very basic, but
it works and is a great local area familiarization tool.  All I use is a
track ball mouse.  And thanks to everyone about the X-plane thing.  I always
wondered about it myself.

Lou,
 
X-Plane is the only viable alternative to MS Flight Simulator. It has the
largest market penetration behind Microsoft's product. It's claim to fame is
a very realistic flight model based upon real aerodynamic calculations.

Dave,
 
The Velocity XL for X-Plane appears to be an aftermarket product. If you've
purchased it from him before, he may provide free upgrades.

Is X-Plane a complete software or is it just an add on to Ms Flight
Simulator.

If I already own X-Plane, can I just down load the Velocity file?  Or do I
pay the extra $20 for the file. Can any one tell me?  I made a simple one up
a year or so ago and then dropped it when I couldn't quite get the gear from
going up through the top of wing during retraction.  Other then that, it did
OK> I'm sure with this new one all those issues are worked out.  It looks
great and a lot of fun. Am I reading this right? 

Dave
