    Vasfmc

    Anyone ever used or heard of this http://vas-project.org/vasfmc-flight...ment-computer/ Its free, uses FSUIPC and WideFS so I am going to download it and give it a try.

    Mike,

    I use vasfmc with my setup. I don't have a pit yet, but do have multiple screens and pc's.

    version 1.10 is ok, but the new aplha testing version 2.05a is much better, as it has the possibility to look like a boeing or airbus CDU/FMC.

    It seems to work really well using widefs and you can update it from navigraph as well with the latest Airac.

    I tired it out and it does seem quite good. the only thing i have not found is if there is keyboard commands for it. It would be awsome to be able to use it with out using the mouse. I did not know that it was updatable with navigraph i will defintly update it with the latest cycle. It does work great over wideFS too. Thanks

    Mike,

    Isn't there some kind of mouse to key software available that you could use? I think i remember seeing something on the site i downloaded FSUIPC from.

    I am thinking about getting my hands on an old Point of Sale terminal with a touch screen and using it on that, as most of the more recent ones can run XP.

    It works great for holds as well. I recevied 2 different holds last week during a Vatsim flyin and vasfmc handled them really well.

    Since i have not actually started work on any particular sim yet I am keeping all of my options open. I still favor the CRJ or the LJ45 and another option which i am pursuing so we shall see.

    Hi,

    Actually you can control various items via FSUIPC offsets. The next version will contain even more controls.

    regards, Alex

    Hi to everyone,

    I use and apreciate very much vasFMC, because these software have PFD, ND and MCDU displays who makes it suitable to fly an A320 pit like mine.

    You have keyboard controls, just put mouse pointer over ND display for example, and click right mouse button. It will appear context menu for that display with keyboard shortcuts inside parenthesis, like [V] to switch on-off VOR information.

    There is informaion also on the software documentation.

    I use these program with my IOcards (opencockpits) electronics, assigning switches and led“s via IOcards -> FSUIPC -> vasFMC

    Hope i“ve help you.

    Regards

    Marco Serrano
