FLIGHTSOFT and VISTA by RMS Technology

[Marv Hamm]

Any comments by users of the latest versions of FLIGHTSOFT and VISTA
from RMS Technology for use with a PC?

I would primarily be using it VFR in a 172. The ability to scan your own
maps for use with their software is an appealing feature.

It would be nice to be able to use the "Course up / Track up" feature with the
raster (scanned ) maps, but I understand that using the raster maps you are
limited to "North up" only with the VISTA software.

Do any of the other competitive software products allow use of
"Course up / Track up" for raster maps?

I have reviewed prior comments in the Google search of "Rec.Aviation" newsgroup
files, but they seem to be somewhat dated.

Thanks.......Marv Hamm

AirPlan will allow you to use raster sectionals in course up or north up mode.
