LXSIM problem

Has anyone mastered the LXsim program? I have loaded the North American
database but can't get the simulator aircraft to leave Slovakia. I loaded
Perry TPs and a task, have tried "starting" the task, but get nothing but a
flight near Celjic(?). Any pointers would be appreciated.

Maybe getting a local GPS fix which will be stored in your initialization
file(s). At least that's how it (looks like it) works with XCSoar.

I found, with XCSoar, that it started off somewhere in Europe. Running it
on my PC, I boosted the speed to about 7,000 Kts and "flew" it to New
Mexico. Pretty tedious! But, I found that, when I ran it on my Streak with
a GPS fix, it flew locally. I transferred my data files to my PC (IIRC) and
it worked in the states.

I don't know if you can do likewise with your LX, but it might be worth a
try.

Hi

Go to Program Files/LXNAV/LXSim/Data

rename the earth.cit file into something like oldearth.cit

copy the .cit file from your region into this same location and
rename it earth.cit

That is the way i got my simulator to work on my own local area (Ireland)
to fly tasks etc.

I was not able to make it work in portrait mode - the bottom row of buttons is not available. Have others had this problem?

where would I find a .cit file for my region?

Sam,

Make a .cit file with SeeYou for your area and then follow muttley's suggestion.

Sam,

go to

http://www.naviter.com/products/seeyou/

and download the manual Page 17 & 18 explains the Mobile Wizard and how to produce the needed files.

Or Call me after you have SeeYou running on your PC It will only take a couple of minutes.

Thanks,

I have the same problem but solved it by rotating the laptop screen 90 degrees, not very elegant, but at least you get the full portrait screen, which if you are going to have a portrait setup in your glider, you need.
