Love the devs creating free mods! Added!

Fantastic idea this and it has now become my ā€˜go toā€™ for this kind of addon.

I like Skyperionā€™s suggestion that a ā€˜Stickyā€™ for this would be helpful for a lot us who are interested in this kind of thing.

I wonder if there is any chance of the Forum Moderators helping out here ? :relaxed:

FSCommander is an awesome add-on, I hope we see it come to MSFS.

I believe the developer of FsCommander, on his support forum, has stared that he will not be developing a Fs2020 version.

I just saw that, his response seemed kind of short sighted.

Maybe he has had enough ā€¦ and wants to get a life back.
After years of Sim addon developemnt, and support, I can understand if he has had enough.

Who know ā€¦ but he has made a choice, that is his to makeā€¦ Really, I don;t think many of us, if any, know what his reasons are, but we should respect them, thanking him for all he has done in the past to support the sim Community

(unless you know the real story behind FsCommander & FsNavigator :P)

It did kind of have that tone. No issues with me, life will go on.

If he does not want to continue with it, he should pass it on to someone else, just like others did to him.

Does anyone know if Live ATC Chatter - https://www.justflight.com/product/live-atc-chatter works in MSFS 2020? I would assume that it would if it connects through FSUIPC7. Just want to know before I drop the $23 on it. I think that something like that in combination with Pilot2ATC would make a great experience. Currently using P2A with X ATC Chatter files, but they are most of the time not geographically correct. For example, Iā€™ll be flying in NY and Iā€™ll hear controllers controlling San Diego approachesā€¦

I use https://liveatc.net for that. They cover an absurd number of airports worldwide. Canā€™t fly without it :slight_smile:

So, what happened to VFRMap? (https://github.com/lian/msfs2020-go) Iā€™m still using it, because of this list, but I donā€™t see it here any more?

Oh youā€™re right. Iā€™m still using it too. I actually cloned the repo and made my own tweaks. I hope itā€™s still ok to use.

VFRMap is a great addon, if you want to see your Plane on Google map
As well as displaying some of your aircraft information, it also has a very nice TELEPORT feature. Click on the Google map, and you plane will Instantly be TELEPORTED there.

Does not install in the same area as the sim, so will not get overwrite by any updates.

Real easy way to park your plane on your at your home !!!

It would be great if VFRmap could display SimData as defined by a separated config file.
You interested and up to doing that tweak ?

LittleNavMap has taken over VFRMap for me. However, using LittleNavMap to do flight planning for IFR is exposing the huge flaws in MSFS for this aspect. sigh.

Haha ok Iā€™m not that kind of programmer, sorry to burst your bubble. I seriously only edited things like adding Google Maps back in (using my own paid for key) and changing some fonts. Probably 5 lines of code total. Just HTML, not the heavy duty C and Java stuff.

Just saw this released and it looks real nice! :small_airplane: :smiley_cat:
