REFLECTOR: Google Earth VFR Charts

[Terry Miles]

That's it.  You got it.  After you load it, you can use this slider bar on
that left hand menu bar to fade it in and out.  .and check out that freebie
Flite Sim.  An EAA pal of mine loaded mine in at a meeting and I wasn't
watching how he did it.

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  But there is an out-of-date full set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
