Looks great!

Don't own it yet, so I can see whats "new."

[ryanbatc 12,857]

Appears it will have georeferenced approach plates for starters

[fakeflyer737 992]

meh, already probably outdated though.

Looks spectacular!

 

Hopefully once they get this pushed out, they can start on crossfill.  I would really, really, really like crossfill between units!

Incorrect, the navdata will be current. Also, your location will be superimposed onto the approach plates so you can see where you are in reference.

[ryanbatc 12,857]

Where did you read the Navdata will be current? Afaik it's still old (well newer), based off the v5 trainer data (airac 1405)

Looks great! I'm glad they came through with the update to 5, I thought it would take a lot longer.

 

As for the Navdata/Approach Plates I'm pretty sure it's just the stuff that's included with the v5 trainer (ie. 2014 navdata)

I mean, maybe I'm wrong, and Flight1 have scored a deal for current navdata/charts...but I highly doubt it :(

[dgraham1284 92]

I guess I will rephrase. More current*

Ya and in a few months it won't be "more current" and neither will the Charts.

Would you rather they just stopped working on developing it any further? Why not just stop all development because addons don't come with the most current charts, terrain or nav data. No more addons for fsx, p3d, whatever sim floats your boat.

 or offer an ability to update it like everyone else does.

It's not their fault. You can always buy that!

I assume the chart overlay is something you can switch on or off in the menu? Otherwise it seems like it kinda obscures things like your obstacles, terrain, or any waypoints that aren't in the approach? I hope it's a handy toggle, like right on the main map menu button, it always seemed like getting into the charts was sort of a PITA (click, click, click...), maybe I'm just getting old and lazy. :smile:

 

Is there anything new and cool in the v5 trainer itself? I always thought they should add "Vcalc - time/dist to TOD" as one of the available data fields. Also it'd be awesome to see "TOD" projected on the map. I know those are Garmin things and not Flight1 things, just musing.

 

I absolutely love these GTNs, I've got both for FSX and the 750 for P3D, I haven't been happier with an addon since I bought FSNav for FS2002!
