You are using the latest FStarRC (2.10) aren't you? And using it to start FliteStar as per instructions? What was the previous version of FliteStar which it worked okay with? really.FStarRC would save a log file too. can't speak of it's FMS, since I don't use that feature to fly the plane.All in all, both products are a VERY VERY WISE INVESTMENT. as a flight planner it its also very capable if you like planning with a map. and it runs as a module so you can be looking and still flying. need a VOR freq? need some approach data? need to see where you are?. it has all the info you want at your fingertips. FSNav I believe is indispensible as a moving map. even the venerable ACS-GPS which I use with the RFP-747-200 and Stellan's awesome DC-9.
but it really is powerful and flexable and exports to every plane and device I know of. Pranav,after the few posts above, hmmmmm. After that, the program will ask to be registered.So try them both before you buy.
If you can only get one at a time, then, if you're one of those realism nuts (like me) get FSBuild first, then FSNav.By the way, FSBuild has a freeware version that you can use to evaluate it.Also, you can download FSNav and install it and use the full version for 20 starts which is alot. This is basically a substitute for a realistic ATC controller.An example: if you can afford it, get both.
Plus it auto tunes radio frequencies, and a whole lot more.I use it during my PMDG flights as a moving map to give myself vectors similar to those on the passur airport monitors. It has SIDS and STARS, flies the aircraft, flies holds, even does altitude and speed restrictions during descent.
Much faster to type the text version in FSBuild then export to FSNav.For the simmer who isn't hell bent on realism and just want to have a bit of fun with a freeware aircraft, FSNav acts as an FMS that does most of the things that a regular FMC will do. I should note that you can also do this in FSBuild, but because the map function isn't easy to use, its much faster to use FSNav.Again, I should also note that you can also do this in FSNav, but with FSNav you have to add each and every waypoint individually which, although its quite easy to do, takes a lot of time. Just use FSNav to figure out your airways, etc and type it in text in FSBuild and FSBuild will build it for you. Sometimes it will give you a flight plan that isn't what you want. Īs I've said in previous threads, FSBuild and FSNav, in my opinion, complement each other nicely. You can try a demo version but only the pay version allows the exportation of flight plans to PMDG. The flight plans export to both FS for ATC use and to PMDG for installing in the FMC. You always know exactly where you are and really don't have to invest any money in charts anymore. While you are flying, you can hit the F9 key and immediately a map pops up showing your plane, your route, airports, runways, ILS, VOR, NDB Beacons in your vicinity, as well as the frequencies.
The part I like the most about FS NAV is the map view. I feel that FS Nav has many more features than FS build.
