Hi all,

I have been experimenting with Skyvector and watching tutorials on youtube on how to use it - seems to be a great tool to create VFR-flight which can also be used with Flightsim, the video says.

I know how to create a VFR-route - so far so good. But how are you supposed to use it with FSX - since you cant import your flightplan into FSX?

Thanks

Erik

To create a more realistic VFR-flightplan..
I like Skyvector and would like to combine Skyvector with FSX..Somebody does it, but not how they do it in practice..

I suppose you would just use it as you would a paper sectional...plotting
departure, waypoints, and arrival. Then program that into the FSX
flightplanner by entering the start and finish airports and dragging the red
line to the intermediate waypoints. Another option would be to copy and
paste the string into FSCommander. I don't know if PlanG is capable of
accepting a pasted strings of waypoints or not. Of course you can punch in
the waypoints into an FMC if you are flying a capable plane such as the
Majestic Dash 8.

If Skyvector doesn't have an export function, simply rint out the plan and
manually input it into FSX. All the waypoints are there, you just have to
connect the dots.

Duh! I create flight plans in FSX all the time but I don't need
Skyvector to do it. Everything is right there in one place, ready to go, in
FSX. All I use a flight plan for is to put the magenta line on my GPS to
find my heading. I make my flight by VFR using physical manual controls.
Just the way I've always done it. Never been in a plane that could fly
itself. Doesn't sound like much fun to me. Just sitting there riding
along.<g>

I do use flightplanner in FSX too..

Its just that I have read and heard that is more realistic using Skyvector..

========================
Oh, don't pay any attention to my reply to Danny. :-) It was a
tongue-in-cheek reply to his tweak at me. Don't take any reply from me
serious that I end with the <g> sign. I know that some simmers like to do
all those flight plans with real weather but that's not part of my simming
interest. I'm strictly a stick and rudder flyer and I look for realism in
how well it simulates something I've done before. I do it in FSX now because
I'm no longer able to do it in Real planes. <g>

Given that quite a few here seem to be limited to responding only with
profanities when replying to some of my posts, I'd say this ain't no
family group anyway...

I won't even bother to mention the sexist, misogynisitc and racist
stuff that passes for "humour" in here, Sam.

Nah... I'd say your "family group" theory is in tatters... Unless you
meant a family of trailer trash.... :-)

Sometimes it is better to stay quiet and let everyone else think you
are stupid, than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Just watch Gerry/.......

Here are just a FEW of your responses, mate.

To Don Butts����

Go fuck yourself, you vile little weasel - �you pig-ignorant apologist
for US-orchestrated mass murder !!!

To Basil Brush����

Oops, I meant to say "BasilBrush", you lying piece of dogshit.

Go fuck yourself, Mike Winwood, you're nothing more than a has-been
pusillanimous reservist who never fired a shot in anger....

Go fuck yourself. �You're on The List, ergo you are deemed to be fair
game for abuse because you are an abuser. �

To Doug�������

You disingenuous prick, Doug. Your post was a clear attempt to
drag���.
You've done your dash you two-faced prick. Go root your boot. You
can go to hell for all I care. Are ya gettin' me yet?

To John Ward�������..

So, John Ward, you cocksucking fuckwit, .

Seems to me, John Ward, you pathetic little Yank-fellating wanker of
an excuse for a human being, that you'd rather see me being bullied
and your mate doing the buullying, than see peace descend upon this
newsgroup

To Quilly��..

Give it a rest, Quilly. �You're becoming very troll-like with your
childish, illogical "he's a troll" rhetoric and your pathetic poetry.

To Ibby��.

You're full of shit, Ibby. But you knew that...

From another NG��..

Doggy (Gerry Binder) has lost his way ages ago. Being bald and ugly,
incapable of forging a loving relationship with a female, he lately,
in despair has stumbled out of the cupboard with his latent
homosexuality in the hope of finding gratification.

Now he has demonstrated that he is not only mentally,
psychologically and emotionally challenged, but also a filthy
fucking Cong murdering poofter into the bargain.

And sometimes, Mike Winwood, it might be relevant to point out that
Walt has recently shown amazing restraint in the use of profanities.

Yes, Mike Winwood, you've found another example of abuse directed at
Gerry. What you forgot to mention was that this guy is a Jew-hating
product of the Hitler Youth programme. He treats The Protocols of the
Elders of Zion as if it were the direct word of God.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Protocols_of_the_Elders_of_Zion

He is a stark raving right wing nutter.

That you try to pass off his abusive diatribe as something remotely
meaninglul says more about you, Mike Winwood, than it does about
Gerry.

Keep trawling the web, Mike, in your obsessive compulsive need to wage
your hate campaign against Gerry. Who knows, you might find another
"gem". The world waits with baited breath...

Yer mate, but it begs the questions, why, and for how long??

Abuse, or the truth, mate? :-)

>He is a stark raving nutter.

It takes one to know one. You two will get along fine trolling with
each other.

>That you try to pass off his abusive diatribe as something remotely

It's called, "back atcha", mate! You're the most abusive, bullying
troll ever to infest this NG; you just can't take it when it's thrown
back atcha, can you?

> The world waits with baited breath...

Going fishing are you, mate, with "baited" breath? Strewth!

I use Skyvector.com to create flight plans when I go flying IRL all the time. In fact i just made one because I'm going to do a night flight on Wed. Depart Glendale GEU and do a PHX Bravo transition and land at Chandler CHD to pick up and friend and then from CHD to the Stanfield VOR and then down to Tucson TUS
http://skyvector.com/?ll=32.90976796180054,-111.58743654368213&chart=25&zoom=4&plan=A.K2.KGEU:A.K2.AZ94:G.33.436702254314035,-111.99456161542541:F.K2.VPFRB:A.K2.KCHD:V.K2.TFD:A.K2.KTUS
I flew the route last night in FSX to practice it while having the Skyvector route up on my laptop next to me.

Cheers
Chris

Why, MikeW? Because since Walt has restrained himself from the
"back atcha" tactic of countering abuse with abuse, it has
brought into stark relief the fact that all you've got is lies,
distortions, misquotes (i.e. disinformation), and abuse.

For how long, MikeW? For as long as it takes.

Ahhh... More abuse, I see... MikeW, you really have nothing to
contribute except disinformation and abuse, have you?

Give up, MikeW. Surrender. You cannot win.

Have you considered getting a wee bit of anger management to
help you let go of your hatred, Mike?

As you know, mate, we've been trolling together for some years now,
and when I accuse you of some deed, or telling lies, I always provide
proof, or quotes, to substantiate my accusations. You on the other
hand, constantly make wild allegations, yet you fail to provide ANY
evidence whatsoever. Take your above statement for instance, ……..

“the fact that all you've got is lies”……..
Name (quote) a couple!

“distortions”……….
Name (quote) a couple!

“misquotes”………
Name (quote) a couple!

“disinformation”………
Name (quote) some!

>Give up, Basil. Surrender.

Nah, mate, I LOVE trolling with you.

>You cannot win.

Every time you or Sigmund, or Nurse Ratchet, reply to me, mate, it’s a
victory. I’ve had hundreds of wins. Boom! Boom!

>Have you considered getting a wee bit of anger management to
>help you let go of your hatred,Basil?

Hatred!!!! I keep on telling you, mate, I LOVE trolling with you, you
being a mega troll ‘an all. I LOVE countering all your lies, I LOVE
giving it “back atcha”. I LOVE to see you squirming and frantically
trying to get out of the many holes you seem to fall in. I LOVE you……
:-) Sweet Dreams. :-)

Sometimes it is better to stay quiet and let everyone else think you
are stupid, than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Just watch Gerry…..
