Mr_Yeti101 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I am sure many of you already have found this site but thought it worth just mentioning again. Skyvector give basic aviation maps for all of UK as well as the US so if you are not sure where to fly to and don't have flight planning software this site will help you get the most out of your scenery. and best of all its at the price I like... free http://skyvector.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaydor Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Plan G is another great one and it's free.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmatron Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Plan G for me too. Skyvector is nice, but I much prefer the detail offered on CAA charts over their FAA counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha Normann Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I know they're not free but Jeppesen's VFR+GPS charts EG1 to 5 have been used as a reference when creating the scenery. You won't find the some of the innumerable closed aerodromes and smaller airfields on England but except for that you should find everything shown in those maps represented in the three UK region FTX sceneries. Bests, Sascha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Yeti101 Posted July 5, 2013 Author Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yeah Plan G is good but can take some setting up if you are using networked computers. Skyvector is just a reference, bit like the old mark one Map/eyeball method of flying without all the fancy GPS stuff and to be honest I use both.

Ripcord Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 skyvector is a very nice resource to have -- particulaly for those sadistic types that like to build missions for FSX. One little pagegrab screen shot and you have a ready-to-go aeronautical chart to use in your overview/maps screen -- that makes life easier. I'll plan around a bit with this today and see if I can make good use of it. Thank you for that Mr Yeti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
