vasFMC Flightplan Converter for FS9 and FSX

Many thanks to Jens-Arne Reumschüssel who implemented a small converter programm capable of translating the vasFMC flightplans (1.x and 2.x formats) to the PLN format used by FS9 and FSX. You can find the programm in the download section.

Announcement: New vasFMC Version

Hi Folks,

As many people were asking if there will be any new version of vasFMC, i am announcing today that there will indeed be a new version. I am currently doing a complete refactoring of the old code in order to ease the implementation of new features.

I am planning at least following key features for the new version:

  • Navdisplay with surrounding airports display, ADF/VOR information and pointer needle display, runway and extended centerline display of the departure and arrival airports.
  • Real MCDU GUI in A-Style.
  • Enhanced and configurable FMC autopilot, letting the user finetune the autopilot for different types of airplanes.

vasFMC 1.10 X-Plane Patch

Hi,

An X-Plane user sent me a suggestion how to patch vasFMC so it can be used with recent versions of X-Plane. I added the patch to our filebase today.

cheers, Alex

Update: The downloadlink was broken - now it works as designed.

Finally… 1.10 is ready

Alex did a good job again and we’re happy to anounce the release of 1.10 Final.

We thought about updating the navdata to 0606 but decided to keep 0513 due to several missing fixes. Of course you’re free to update any time using the downloadable F1-ATR-Airac from http://www.navdata.at.

Apart from that this are the changes to Beta 3:

  • Fixed range bug when switching to map mode and back to normal mode.
  • Added “parent” field to saved flightplans.
  • Enhanced SID/STAR runway filtering.

As always you will find the file on one of our mirrors from the download-area: http://files.vas-project.org/

vasFMC 1.10 Beta 3 released

We’re proud to release Beta 3 of the upcoming 1.10 release.

some of the changes are:

  • Ported B-Style to OpenGL.
  • Added fontsize to option dialog.
  • The FMC now remebers the path of the last flightplan loading/saving operation.
  • Enhanced takeoff detection and deletion of waypoints behind the airplane.
  • The NAV1 frequency & course can now be set from the selected landing runway.
  • Fixed OpenGL bug, causing the FMC to consume nearly all CPU time.
  • Fixed FSUIPC access bug, causing WIDEFS to consume nearly all CPU time.

vasFMC 1.10 Beta 2 released

Alex has done some work again this evening and we’re proud to release Version 1.10 Beta 2 now.

The most important changes since Beta 1 are:

  • NavDisplay transfered to OpenGL
  • Important: Only Mode A is currently working
  • Important: No Map mode available in this version
  • Some bugs regarding NavData and route intercept are fixed

As always please test as much as you can and report any issues through the forums.

EDIT: it would be highly appreciated if you could send us some screenshots from the OpenGL NavDisplay. We would like to see how it appears on different machines. Just send them to fmc {äd} vas-project.org. Thanks for your help!

NavDisplay will be OpenGL

vasFMC is currently beeing rewritten in some parts. Alex has been annoyed by the lack of perfomance and found out the navdisplay being the bad one.

So he’s now currently rewriting the display. In future it’ll be based on OpenGL. The first tests are running very well. Expect the next public beta version during the next days
