The terrain data in the simulator is only from Slovenia. If you have Seeyou, it's possible to generate new terrain data and add it to LXSim. You can ask LXNAV about that, they can send you a description of how to do it.

Hi Dan,

Well this is embarrassing.....

Having successfully replayed flights in the past, I find I'm unable to do so now (using the latest version). I can upload past flights into the sim's flight folder so they show as if they've been flown, upload custom TP's, select local maps etc. I can review the uploaded flights within the logbook etc but I just can't get them to replay. I get a flashing aircraft symbol and a red 'N.C.' in the top left corner. This is similar to Oudie Simulator being run on a PC with a real Oudie profile so that it looks for a non-existent GPS position instead of using the simulator function. Lemme work on it a while and get back to you?

Tried again with latest version of sim and it replays fine. No need to put flight records in a specific file just press the "file" button then "open", navigate to the flight file - "open" again. Then press play.

Thanks! I'll give that a try.

I got it to display terrain by moving my XCSoar map files to the
following folder on my laptop: C:\Program Files(x86)\LXNAV\LXSIM\Maps.

Update:
I bought a LX 9000 with the V80. As I am putting it in my Antares I needed an optional engine noise level sensor (electric engine). I also bought a Bridge 232 so I can control my TRIG transponder with the LX 9000 (saves a panel spot). I will be displaying PowerFlarm information on the V80 but might add a Flarmview at a later date.

I bought from Cumulus (I'm a mutual support member) and Paul will program my Powerflarm information, test the system, and add a Ram mount all before shipping it out. Easy button!

I am going to mount it on a ram mount but the factory is now offering a different panel and cover specifically for a LX 9000 install. Always good to have options!

I will post pictures when it is completed.
