X vs VatView

“X-Mapper Lite” is a helper application for X-Plane Desktop flight simulator, which tracks the location of aircraft in the real-world map. *This is a LEGACY APPLICATION for backward compatibility with older versions of X-Plane. If you are using X-Plane 11 as well as X-Plane 10.40 or later, TRY NEWLY RELEASED X-MAPPER TNG (free App) INSTEAD. *This application requires full or demo version of X-Plane 9 or ​10 Desktop (for Mac/​Windows/​Linux). CANNOT used with X-Plane Mobile for iPhone/​iPad. FEATURES “X-Mapper Lite” works combined with the computer version of X-Plane flight simulator. It offers a simple but useful functionality to the simulator: tracking the location and the heading of the simulated aircraft in the real-world map. It can be used for following purposes: –Watching topography and street patterns for more precise pilotage navigation. –Making aware of world-wide geography for more joyful sightseeing flight. –Tracing accurate traffic patterns for more efficient training. –Getting details of taxiways and facilities in complicated airports. HOW TO USE Launch X-Plane on a computer and follow in-App instructions to setup network connection. The location and heading of the simulated aircraft will be displayed with an orange icon when settings completed and a network connection established. You can switch Tracking Mode (auto scrolling) by airplane button. Other map manipulations are same as the standard “Maps” application.

VatView is a mobile app that allows flight simulation enthusiasts to track ATC presence and flight information on the VATSIM network. VatView aims to be your ultimate VATSIM companion! It provides easy access to active VATSIM terminal area ATC stations and frequencies and exposes the ATIS message easily. It also shows enroute ATC, including marking land, oceanic, UIR and FSS VATSIM controlled areas on the map. VatView features three main views: - a map displaying all pilots and air traffic controllers currently connected to the VATSIM network. - A filterable and searchable list page - displaying a detailed list of all connected pilots and ATC. - An airport search page - which concentrates all connected ATC, active flights and prefiled flight plans for a specific airport. VATSIM (short for the Virtual Air Traffic Simulation Network) is a completely free online platform that allows Flight simulator enthusiasts connect and fly virtually on one shared virtual aviation eco system. It simulates Air Traffic Control (ATC) with full voice and network connection between virtual pilots flight on flight simulator software and virtual air traffic controllers using software for providing ATC services. It is as real as it gets. It supports Microsoft's Flight simulator (MSFS, FSX and FS9), P3D and X-Plane. For more information visit https://www.vatsim.net. Features: - An Interactive map displaying VATSIM pilots and ATC - Detailed aircraft and terminal ATC station Icons - Enroute and FSS control areas - Live METAR (weather) data for any airport - ATC Bookings - Always up to date FIR boundaries synced with VATSpy's data project - Detailed flight information - Filterable and searchable list screen - An easy way to get all relevant terminal area stations with the relevant ATIS message * The app uses the storage permission to cache large airspace data it needs to display on the map.
