File Description:
Flightplan Visualizer (FV) version 1.19.0. Copyright 2018-2021 by Pelle F. S. Liljendal ([email protected]), all rights reserved.
FV comes with 1164 pre-imported AI flightplans (of which +380 are BizJet flightplans, the rest are commercial). However you are able to import additional (AI) flightplans yourself. Once imported these (AI) flightplans can be visualized on a map-view, and the user will be able to search accross all these. Hence you can use the program as inspiration as to which routes to fly. E.g. you can search across all imported flightplans to find all flights in an A321 flying into/out from LDDU, or simply to look for all flights in a Boeing 747-8F.
Simply run the included installer to install the software. The program will be installed into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Flightplan Visualizer" and all datafiles will be installed into: "C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\FlightplanVisualizer". The program comes with a full manual explaining everything, and a 3 page quick manual to get you started. The first 3 times you run the program the quick manual will automatically open. The forum is hosted here: https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/forum/919-flightplan-visualizer/
Version 1.19 Contains the following changes:
- The release-version of the application is now aimed at 64-bit (granting access to more memory if needed). Enabling 64-bit adds a memory overhead of approx 50% compared to 32-bit, but its the "price to pay" to have access to more memory (for those of you with many active flightplans loaded into memory at the same time).
- FV can now connect to your simulator using FSUIPC (tested both with P3D and MSFS). By default you will have to manually connect/disconnect (using new menu-items in the File-menu). However in settings you can choose to do it automatic. When automatic-connection is selected the connect/disconnect menu-items becomes inactive.
- When connected to a sim, the location/heading of your aircraft can be displayed on the map, using an orange aircraft-marker, and hoovering the mouse over this marker will display some key data (GPS-location, altitude, heading, speed and so on).
- Added abillity to playback audio-files. In settings you can choose which audio-device to use, and set the volume at which these files are played (defaults to 50%). If volume>0 these files will automatically be played back whenever FV connects to/disconnects from the Sim.
- Added additional icons that are automatically selected to indicate when the program is connected to the simulator. Hence the icon in the main-form will indicate if FV is connected to a simulator or not.
- In the form for editing (user)-airlines and in the form for searching airlines the context menu now have a menu-item called "Show usage". When selected, it will generate a report showing all the (active) flightplans in which the airline is used.
- Added a new "Manual" check-box next to the load-factor when editing user-airlines. This check-box needs to be checked if you want to manually enter a load-factor. When not checked (default) the load-factor will automatically be set to the default value of the selected country.
- When editing user-airlines, the airline just added/edited will be visible and selected in the list-view. Likewise when deleting an airline, the previous item will be be visible/selected (in stead of always scrolling to the top afterwards, as in previous versions).
- The Insert/Delete keyboard-keys can now be used as shortcuts adding/deleting user-airlines and user-aircraft (both owned and types).
- The gate-map context-menu (Airport Info), now allows you to re-center the map (in case your have been panning the map, and can't locate the airport again).
- Added a new menu-item/form to calculate head/cross-wind from manually entered flight/runway-heading and wind-direction/speed. Don't forget the runways tab-page in the Airport-info form already calculates this for each runway (and wind-direction/speed is automatically obtained from METAR).
- Added a new menu-item/form to convert plain-text into morse-code. There is also a button that lets you listen to the generated morse-code, so you can practice your morse-code listening skills (e.g. entering an ILS/VOR-ident, to know which morse-code to listen for in the aircraft, to verify the correct ident is reqeived).
- The "Cruise speed" column have been removed from the aircraft tab-page of the Edit Flightplan form to make more room for the Carrier/Operator-columns. In the past these simply contained the ICAO for the airlines. Now it both contains: ICAO, IATA (if not blank) and Name.
- The criteria in the leg-search window now allows you to filter on departure/arrival week-days (e.g. only include flights departing a particular airport on a Saturday or Sunday).
- When using the flightplan-filter on the main-form, it will favour the current active flightplan (as in previous versions), however if not able to, it will select the first flightplan included in the filtered list (in stead of choosing "[None]").
- Improved import of AIGFP-flightplans where the airport is not contained within the embedded airport.txt file and is using a different ICAO-code in route-files (observed for "AIG_UTair_Summer2018v6" and "AIG_S7Airlines_Winter2019-2020v3").
- Added runway-info (for both Departure/Destination-airports) to the flightplan leg-report. For ILS-eqiupped runways its lists the ID (both as text, as morse-code), frequency and ils-slope.
- Morse-code also added to ILS-ID column on the "Runways" tab-page of the airport-info form. Above the list-view there is also a label showing the morse-code (using a larger font), and next to it there is a button that lets you listen to the morse-code.
- Traffic-pattern direction (for take-off and landing) are now displayed for each runway. These data are extracted from the scenery by MakeRunways, hence the info can't be "better" than the info in the scenery (hence most default airports simly shows 'Left').
- Current/peak- memory usage is now logged at various stages while running, and when closing the program. These values can also be observed opening the about-box, which will also forcefully append these values to the log.
- When using MkRwy with MSFS it can't obtain the country-name, hence these are taken from the airport-database embedded with FV. However the name for USA ("United States of America") is too long to be shown together with state-name, hence code have beed added it to shorten it to "United States" (which was the default country-name used in FSX/P3D).
- Changed font in Comments-box for user-aircraft to a fixed font, in case some users what to enter text "in columns" (e.g. if you make "tables" with speed-restrictions).
- Changed the color of the splitter-bars in the Airport-info and leg-search forms to a draker color, to better indicate where it is.
- The build-part of the version-number can now be ignored when performing the automatic version-check at start-up. This new setting is by default disabled. If enabled it will ignore changes from version 1.x.0 to 1.x.1 (e.g. an update from 1.19.0 to 1.19.1). However major/minor versions-updates (e.g. from 1.19.x to 1.20.x) will not be ignored.
- Fixed: Excessive logging while importing AIGFP flightplans removed (leftover from fixing a bug before the release of version 1.18).
- Fixed: When using kg in the leg-info report, the weight of Luggage incl. pax weight (shown in parentees) was wrong.
- Fixed: Button to open filter-manual on Gate-page of the Airport-info form was not visible/position was not fixed.
- Fixed: The wind-speed obtained from the METAR and used to calc head/tail-wind on the Runway tab-page of the Airport-info form, did not considder the unit (e.g. Khp or meters-per-second).
- Data: A VERY BIG THANK YOU to Bruce Nicholson for assistance updating the Airline-database, both with new/missing entries and marking defunct airlines as such.
- Data: A lot of "fictios airlines" was added as well. These are used for companies without official ICAO/IATA codes. To indicate they are fictios the ICAO-code is set to "---" and the IATA-code is used to indicate the kind of traffic (e.g. the combination "---/BZ" is used for biz-jet flights).
- Data: Also thanks to Bruce for pointing out that a few aircraft were not being detected as they should. So this version should do a better job with Cessna T206H, Cessna Citation SII/S550 and Global 7500.
- Flightplans: The bundled AIG flightplans have been updated to the latests versions/revisions available from AIG (there were a few defunct that was removed, a few new versions that was added, and a lot of new revisions being updated).
- Flightplans: Eric Steinmetz's Bizjet (AI) flightplans that have previously been available as a separate download are once again bundled with the installer (they are only installed if you choose the option during installation). These have all been updated to use the new "---/BZ" airlines (for companies without official ICAO/IATA-codes), and the Author/Provider have been set to "Eric Steinmetz"/"ESAI" (the previous/separate download was created before adding author/provider to the software).

File Description:
Version 2.0 covers landclass across the entire greater Houston area, with a large increase in LOD. This version significantly tightens up and improves the landclass from version 1.0, and adds a vast amount of scenery objects that brings the Bay Area-KEFD area into the modern era. This improves and adds a highly accurate runway 17 approach with accurate placement of buildings and scenery around the year 2011-modern day. In addition, includes several new files including a new airport/helipad via Houston Clear lake regional airport, T41 La Porte Municipal and surrounding shipping ports, Kemah Boardwalk, and a giant improvement to Johnson Space Center Houston. Rundway 35 and Runway 22 landclass is significantly increased, and more accurate as well. You can fly an accurate VFR approach or set up an ILS for any one of KEFD's runways with ease with this improvement.List of Version 2.0 additions and changes: - I added a ton of scenery objects and tightened up the landclass at Johnson Space Center Houston- NASA Control Center--- Added Talon Park with T38s (via static objects)--- Added Gemeni V rocket and 747 for the shuttle transporter--- And a whole bunch of vegetation, new buildings, and tour buses.- Added Kemah boardwalk and several boat docks- Removed a TON of highrise textures and replaced with medium and large city suburb landclass.- Added Clear Lake regional Hospital with helipad and surrounding scenery by Walter Reed Park- Added El Jardin or "Bayport Container port" with several scenery objects and significantly tightened up landclass.-- Looks great when setting up ILS approach for RWY 22- Tightened up Bay Area BLVD landclass, "adding" University of Houston Clear Lake"-- UHCL was semi already present, just made it more pronounced.- Made Red Bluff road landclass super recognizable!-- Red Bluff road is used to set up VFR approach and or field break for RWY 22 and RWY 17 R.----- Its common to see private jets and the USAF doing a break along Red Bluff road.- Added First Baptist Church, and water tower to Pasadena Convention center- Made Fairmont Parkway pronounced with landclass- Added Houston Port Authority at Morgan's Point--- Another Landmark for the RWY 22 ILS approach, NASA religiously uses this to line up the 10 mile ILS.- Tightened up landclass at Village Grove East and along Fairmont Parkway- Added a TON of scenery objects and landclass corrections for approach of RWY 17 L and 17 R.---- Added Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart Super center, Guitar center etc.---- added South Main Baptist Church--- Bondy Jr High, Turner Elementary, and Pasadena Memorial High School--- Added Saint Luke's Hospital--- Added Hampton Inn Suites and HCA rehab hospital--- Added a ton to the container facility behind best buy and storage facility--- Added smaller churches on RWY 17 approach--- Added a ton of scenery at the base of RWY 17 R, i.e., concrete plant, containers, trucks-- Added gas stations on the corner of beltway 8 and genoa red bluff-- Significantly changed and tightened up landclass at the base of RWY 22 and RWY 17 L and 17 R-- Made several roads and Beltway pronounced------ This decision looks AWESOME at night, really adds demarcation to the roads.**All of this makes the RWY 17 approach super recognizable** RWY 22 approach landclass is much more accurate.- Significantly changed and tightened up landclass near southbelt ellington and interstate 45.- Added Grace Church-- I wanted to do San Jacinto College south, but seemed over kill at that point.- SIGNIFICANTLY tightened up landclass for RWY 35 approach and near baybrook mall.-- Along I45- Added TDECU stadium at the University of Houston Main Campus---- So you can practice flybys for Cougar games!- Added the Battleship at San Jacinto Monument- I also "borrowed" T41 La Porte Municipal's tower camera to make a SWEET view of KEFD.- I included landclass for Sealy Texas this time, as well as my significant enhancements of Austin, Texas greater area as well (optional, but recommended!)---------------------------------------------------------------------------Version 1.0 originally added:- Added the Johnson Space Center Houston, which is now greatly enhanced and blended.- San Jacinto Community College-Central- Pasadena Convention Center- Pasadena Water Treatment Facility- NASA Bouncy Lab- Pasadena Shopping center, now greatly enhanced and blended.- Baybrook Mall and other shopping spots.- Significant Landclass improvements across the entire greater Houston Area File also includes landclass and scenery improvements for the greater Austin, Texas Area (optional), KIAH, KDWH, and Sealy, Texas. Each of these projects combined covers roughly 15,000 square miles of landclass improvement. Allowing you to fly entirely from Houston to Austin, or Houston to San Antonio in accurate landclass. -Enjoy!DJN
