Very nice shots indeed Mr. Mcleland! I was actually planning a nightstop here in Rovaniemi but seeing those pics convinced me, i`m going airborne again! :)

Great shot Peter,
What do you manage to get the route showing in the nav display?
Do you load it thru fs9 flightplanner?

Awesome shots Peter!

Just curious - what's your setup as far as vid card and any tweaks to the fs9.cfg etc? Those pics look unusually clear to me.

Thanks,
Ryan

Olivier,

On the B727, any Flight Plan loaded in the FS9 Flightplanner will show on the EHSI with the MAP mode button pressed.

I make my flightplans in FSNav because I want the flightplan to have the SID track in it for the departure. I then Export the FSNav plan to FS2004 and then load it by going Flights > Flightplanner > LOAD > Select my exported plan and click OK. The full track, including the SID track is now shown on the GPS, if you call it up, and can be "LOCKED" onto by either the Autopilot OR the Flight Director by selecting AUX NAV.

Thanks George for your comments and I'm glad you enjoy them. I try to make them interesting while showing off more than one product...this was a little bit of "Misty Fjords" as well as our favourite jet airliner :-)
