Msfs2020*Little NavMap Tutorial*Calling all Pilots! Create IFR or VFR Fpl's. Download & Setup guide!

[@reddragoncymru3695]

I've got to agree with the other comments - this (and part 2) is an absolutely fantastic tutorial - I've learnt so many things I have missed before. Thank you for spending the time to put together such easy to follow guides.

[@2020fsers]

Your welcome my friend 😊 and thanks for the wonderful comment 😀

[@Sebastopolmark]

Just watched Overkill Simulation video about add-ons etc and he said Little Navmap is a great program but it has A LEARNING CURVE and boy howdy, it sure does. This is a GREAT tutorial that must be watched several times and interface with the actual screen and will eventually get the hang of it. Thanks! !! !!!

[@2020fsers]

Thanks for the commment I'm happy it helped.. 😊 littlenavmap is feature packed that's for sure a new version came out 2.8.8 and it has some new things with it that's pretty cool.

[@kcrsradio]

Outstanding video! Extremely helpful. I can't imagine flying my computer without Little Navmap! Thanks for this!

Your very welcome check out part 2 if you haven't link should be on the end screen if your interested 😀 thanks for the comment

@@2020fsers I did watch part 2 and also found it to be extremely helpful. I never fully understood STARS and SIDS until you showed me their role in air navgation in the video. Great stuff, thanks again!

Oh awesome 👌 your very welcome happy flying

I use little navmap allot and it's very useful for flights including moving maps also shows taxiways and gates! Thanks for the tutorial, helps allot!

Thank you for the comment 😀 I can't wait to get into the fpl to show off some of those features .

@@2020fsers Yeah I never used the flight planner but would like to try it out I mostly used littlenavmap for moving map and taxi ways, can't wait for the part2, so many features littlenavmap has.

I agree this is The Best Tool Ever. Awesome flight planning and helps to Decide on Departures, Arrivals and Approaches. By the way guys if you can and I did send the Developer a donation I threw $20 at the guy. If you understand Flight Sim there is an amazing amount of work that went into this. Amazing addition to awareness level to where you are and all Frequency’s at your fingertips.

[@2020fsers]

Thanks for the comment you are so right throw them a donation I still can't believe that they don't charge for this..lots of cool features

Hey great video, i just got little nav map and this info really helped a TON! Thanks!! Question....So i don't have navigraph i'm guessing that Little Navmap doesn't have to have that to work correctly?

Thanks for the comment .. no need for navigraph little navmap will work just fine for you.

[@greybadger3142]

Hi. What a clear explanation. I’m not very technical and I’m sure this will be helpful, great video. I’m just about to try X-Plane 11 again and I really like the look of this to go with it. I tried Skyvector before and liked that I could have it open on my ipad as a second screen as I was flying. Little Navmap though doesn’t install to ipad as far as I know. Which means putting this on my PC and I guess alt-tabbing between the two? If I have LNM tracking my ongoing flight.. will alt-tab pause X-Plane and so disrupt the tracking? Should I have both in windowed mode to more easily swap between them? Apologies if these are silly questions, or if they are covered in part two, which I didn’t see yet. All the best Badger

[@2020fsers]

Thanks for the comment .. there are no silly questions ask anything you like . What I would donis use space desk to use your tablet as an additional monitor then you can run lnm on your tablet .

[@2020fsers]

But if you have to switch back-and-forth between the 2 applications on your PC I don't think you should have a problem.

[@greybadger3142]

@@2020fsers thank you for taking the time to reply. I’ve not heard of Space Desk. I just watched a video about it and now I really like the idea of giving it a try once I sort myself out on the sim. X-Plane is definitely making me work harder to set it up this time around! First my perfectly fine X52 Pro joystick, which I always use, the sim decided it didn’t like any more. I “think” I’ve persuaded it now… but we’ll see. Then the camera view in the sim keeps janking and jumping, which it never used to do. And now I’m having issues with activating my third party Cessna 172! It’s almost as though the sim is saying, “sure, you could put in lots of unexpected effort to make me work properly where I was always fine before…… but wouldn’t you rather upgrade to my nice shiny X-Plane 12? Come on… you know you would.” Sadly my wallet very much says “NO!” So I’ll have to make do. :) Anyway, thanks again for the great suggestion. I look forward to having a go.

[@crazydoc0812]

Been using LNM for several months, but I haven’t been sure how to make use of the aircraft performance tools in the application. Thanks for showing me where to get aircraft performance files…I’ll have to be sure to give them a try.

[@2020fsers]

Yes the performance data is a nice feature I will get into that on the next episode 😀 thanks for the comment

[@gunterschneider8944]

FIR stands for Flight Information Region, a specified airspace where flight information or alerting service is available. UIR is the upper information region, available in the upper airspace.

[@2020fsers]

Oh ok got it thank you.. how is the alerting service available? On a freq? I'm sure it's not simulated

[@gunterschneider8944]

@@2020fsers no, it’s not simulated. You request it from ATC

Little NavMap is fantastic. I use it all the time in MSFS to create flight plans and as a moving map. And it's free - what more could you ask for!

[@2020fsers]

[@TPHI17]

Iv just started using this on my laptop, great video. Quite question I play on Xbox so I do not have the Sim installed on my laptop, so what would I do about the scenery library?

[@2020fsers]

Thanks for the comment.. that is a great question and 1 I have not recieved until now . To be perfectly honest I don't know 😕. What I would do is email the developer and ask him if there is a way around it .

Hey fellow Tennessean not near Nashville im over by knoxville it's a couple to 3 hours to Nashville from here .

@@2020fsers that's cool, I'm born a raised here myself been all over TN, I grew up farming and drove truck all over the US for a little while but I'm back to farming again on a Sod Farm in Nashville. In my family you're either a farmer a truck driver or a pilot.. I managed to do all three, I farm and drive trucks for a living but I fly as a private pilot out of John Tune airport and the Springfield airport. I haven't done much flying lately it just costs so much these days. Anyways I've checked out a lot of your videos over the last year or so appreciate all the helpful tips and tricks plus reviews. Obviously I'm an advid flight sim as well, It's a lot cheaper to fly this way..Lol. Anyways just thought I would hit you up since I heard in another one of your videos you had moved to Tennessee.

[@2020fsers]

That sounds like us we moved here to start farming and live more on the land . I wish I could get into real flying maybe one day .

On your toolbar at the top of the app you have two option selections to the left of the Settings icon that say "Mercator" and "OpenStreetMap". My app does not show these options. I am running version 2.8.0 Beta. How do you get those options to show up on the Tool Bar?

[@2020fsers]

They are there by default on mine I'm not sure what to tell you to do. Maybe I'm not on the latest version idk I've been sick with covid so I haven't been on the pc since this video .

Awesome tutorial but I've a problem because I've fsms 2020 on xbox so I can't connect fsms 2020 to little navmap and now I can't plan a flight.
