RemoteFlight MAP HD is an ideal companion for long haul flights in Flight Simulator (MSFS, FSX/FS9/P3D or X-Plane), or a handy tool for simulator pilots flying VFR. Zoomable vector or photo map moves with the aircraft and key flight variables are displayed on side-panel. You can choose from different types of maps, aircraft icons and units of measurement. Now you can sit back and relax, or chat with a stewardess, while still fully aware of the situation in cockpit. Map and aircraft movements are now smooth and animated. Even aircraft strobe lights are flashing, all for your flight-simming pleasures. Please note, that this app is intended for Flight Simulator enthusiasts and cannot be used to track real flights.
