FsMobileMap V1.0

FsMobileMap displays map around your aircraft position on your mobile devices.
In addition, it displays taxiway information and gate position on the map if the aircraft is on ground.

FsMobileMap is extremely lightweight so it has nearly no effect on FS performance.
It works with any mobile devices(Smartphone or tablet, Android or iOS).
You don't need to install any mobile apps, but can just use the web browser(Chrome or Safari).
It uses Microsoft Bing map service.
It works with both FSX and FS2004.

----- INSTALLATION -----------------------------------------

No installation or setup process is required. Just unzip and run "FsMobileMap10.exe".
Data files("r4.csv", "g5.csv", "t5.csv") and configuration file("FsMobileMap.ini")
should be in the same folder with the exe file.

FSUIPC should be installed.

----- HOW TO USE -------------------------------------------

Your PC and mobile device should be connected to a same network.
(e.g. Wi-fi via Home router)

Run "FsMobileMap10.exe", and your IP address will be shown.
(e.g. 192.168.123.100:8001)

With your mobile device(Android, iPhone, iPad, ...), run web browser(Chrome or Safari),
connect to your IP address, and map will be displayed.

If on ground, it detects current airport automatically and displays taxiway information.
(After landing, press Refresh button on the browser.)

To display gate position, click "Gate" checkbox and select gate, and refresh on the browser.

----- CONFIGURATION -------------------------------------------

It can be configured by editing "FsMobileMap.ini".
- ForcedIpAddress : Your ip address(e.g. "192.168.123.100:8001"), if FsMobileMap cannot detect it automatically.
- Short : Short taxiway length(in meter). Short taxiway(x < Short) has 1 marker at the middle.

This tool enables you to enter 737 NGX's FMC input with "TOUCH" screen of your mobile devices.

It works with any mobile devices(Smartphone or tablet, Android or iOS).
You don't need to install any mobile apps, but can just use the web browser(Chrome or Safari).

FsBTV (Brake To Vacate) preview

BTV(Brake To Vacate) system is innovative braking system that delivers significant improvements in runway efficiency from Airbus. The BTV has been designed to optimise braking efficiency and runway turn-around time, with the potential of reducing runway occupancy time by up to 30 percent. It's introduced into operational service on the A380, and planned to be on the A320s.

This is a preview video of BTV system add-on for Flight Simulator X/2004. It'll be released soon for free.
