Useful tool for FS2020 - tca2963 - 07-04-2021

I do not know how many of you switched to or least took a look at the FS2020. For me I have to say it is still pain in the ass sometimes. It still crashes (not the planes, but the simulator) and a lot of things are not intuitive to achive. (e.g. programm the next leg in a 3 station flightplan for our monthly routes). Even the navigation map is a bad joke and for VFR flights hardly to use for orientation. So I searched and stumbled over this nice small tool: https://github.com/grumpypixel/msfs2020-gopilot

That tool reads you location from the FS and displays it in a webbrowser with e.g. openstreetmap. That really helps a lot to find your visual way through the world.

Happy landings,
ct

thank you for the report from inside our community. This confirms my opinion atfer I have been following the forums regarding FS2020 elsewhere.

Even if it's not optimal, I've decided to stick with FSX (alternating with FS9 for certain aircraft types) for the time being, though I am ogling X-plane.
