Call it SPAM if you want... thought you might be interested... as
close to free as I can make it.


Well. I don't call it spam after looking through it all evening. Most of
my flying is/was VFR below 1000 feet agl with a sectional on my knee but
I really like the features (some that I don't understand yet) included
in your program. I'm reading through the manual and can't find out how
to get sectionals in the Airplan chunk format for MSFS. My sectional
files are all set up for MSFS calibrated for use in FSM MovingMap (by
Rana Hossain) b y Matt Fox

The file extensions for the sectional charts are JGW - PRJ and JPG

Any help about re-formating these files would be appreciated or even
better, a place to download sectionals already in Airmap Chunk Format.

$10.00 and free updates --- that IS about as close to free as you can get.

Bob,

I have a software program that user's can use to carve up sectional
charts into the chunks. I used to provide chart chunks to my
customers, but without enough sales at a price point that was
comparable to the other flight planners, I couldn't afford to keep
putting them out.

By making AirPlan shareware at a low price without chart chunks, it
becomes a low maintenance shareware program that I can afford to keep
online and give free updates for...
