First of all, Pete, you're awesome! I'm not a programmer, but I have been playing with your FS2004 stuff for awhile now (accidentally bought FSX stuff, also, so hope that helps); and I am very happy with everything that it's done. I'm not saying that I don't have to use some brain-power to get it to always do what I want it to, but that is part of the fun.
Dan,
I just registered on here and feel your pain. I did get FS2004 working flawlessly with my ChartCase Pro on my Samsung Q1 (over my wireless LAN) last year, but it took a couple nights to figure it out. What is especially frustrating was that when I spoke with some of the guys at FlightPrep about setting it up to use at shows they were very excited but never pursued it. I spoke to them at Oshkosh last year and they still didn't have it running. This could be huge for them for both demonstrating and as a safety of flight thing by allowing other customers to do just what we are doing - practicing with the program on the ground prior to getting into actual IMC! I was just going to send them copies of all of my config files, so it would have been easy for them. Oh, well.
I just moved back to Macintosh after eight years of PC's, and am very happy. I am about to get back into the entire "figuring it out thing" because I want to run X-Plane and am hoping that I will be able to do the same thing. Anyone know if X-Plane users can access VATSIM? I have also installed Windows onto a VMWare ESX setup, and will run FS2004 with that. The only problem that I'm having with that so far is that I had reconfigured a downloaded PA32 to look like my Cherokee Six's panel and had included Reality-XP instruments and a dual 530 setup, but it isn't working right yet. The fun never stops. I can always go back to the old machine for just flying, but it is now in the living room being beat up by the kids.
Dan, do you know of anyone else using ChartCase with their FS?
Joe
