"GPS's"
Posted by Ben Chiu on 03-03-02 at 07:36z
Greetings:

Can anyone recommend a good GA-style GPS add-on for FS2K2? I'm not so interested in being able to create flight plans or view other online players as much as I'd like to be able to do the simple things such as bypass a waypoint and return to a waypoint.

Thank you!

Ben

Ben -

You *can* use FSNAV for that. Setup your flight plan using your waypoints. While in flight, right click and select fly to here to skip or go back. It's a little funny to get used to but it does work.

It certainly will do what I want, plus tons of other things as well. Actually, I think it's probably overkill for what I want, but it's certainly something to watch for.

Thanks for the link.

Glad it was of use to you and Andy, and the price seems very reasonable.

This month my 'flexible friend is going to get hammered.

There's the FlightMax, FDC http://www.oncourse-software.co.uk/ and PSS are to release their Airbus, what a month :-)
