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. |

LXSIM problem
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. "Sam Zimmerman" wrote in message m...

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. Mottley |

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

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. |
