vasFMC 1.x - Flight Management Computer

VasFMC 1.x is a powerful but simple to use flight management computer for the Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS) and X-Plane, including an integrated lateral navigation display. It’s an external Program connecting itself to the flight simulator and can also be run via remote on another computer. VasFMC controls the heading bug of the autopilot and works with almost any available airplane.

Give me the Features

vasFMC 1.x includes the following features:

  • Powerful but simple to use.
  • Works with MSFS 2002 and MSFS 2004 over Peter Dawson’s FSUIPC or WIDEFS.
  • Works with unregistered Versions of FSUIPC. (Many thanks to Peter Dawson!)
  • Works with X-Plane over a self written UDP interface module.
  • Uses up-to-date navigational data from Navdata.at. (Many thanks to Richard Stefan!)
  • Routes can be entered via:
    • Normal waypoints (e.g. GRZ)
    • Airways (e.g. P978.VIW)
    • Airports (e.g. LOWG)
    • LAT/LON waypoints (e.g. N46.57.3/E15.27.0).
    • PBD (Place/Bearing/Disance) waypoints (e.g. GRZ/90/1.3).
    • Complete Routes (e.g. LOWG GRZ P978 VIW Q102 RTT LOWI).
  • Leg distances, overall distances and trackings are shown.
  • Estimated leg times and overall times are calculcated.
  • Wind data, magentic variation and gound speed are take into account.
  • “Direct-to” is supported.
  • A resizeable lateral navigation display with “keep-on-top” option.
  • Descent distance estimate and 3° descent rate display.
  • Flightplans can be saved and loaded.
  • Extra information can be shown for each waypoint, depending on its type (e.g. frequencies, etc.)
  • SIDs and STARs are supported and can be updated from Navdata.at.
  • A SID/STAR editor (and converter for FSNavigator) is included (Many thanks to Peter Orosz!)
  • Waypoints can be defined as “fly-over”.
  • Holdings are supported.
  • And much more…
