RanaHossain 0 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hello everyone; I hope everyone is keeping safe and flying safe during this troubled time. Quick introduction, though I am hoping that anyone from that old crowd hanging around would remember me fondly. I was quick active back in 2004, and had several utilities from flight simulator; the most popular one was called “FlightSim Manager”: in fact it had won gold award from FlightSim.com; basically it was an Install Wizard, VA Fleet manager, Optimizer, AI Traffic editor, LAN viewer and a lot more. I also had another software called “FSM Moving Map” that would allow you to have google map running within Simulator, or as an external software or even over the network to show your aircraft’s current position. Written in Visual Studio 6 for WindowsXP, and with Microsoft dropping support for both, neither can function without a lot of hacking and messing around. I would like to bring it back to life, with support for modern OS (windows, OSX, and some variants of Linux), and for multiple Flight Simulator like Microsoft FlightSimulator, X-Plane, DCS and so on. If you want to know more about FSM, I have a short introductory video (2m30s) on YouTube. There are also some videos with more details and planned roadmap. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWBciqmYjEM Thank you; if you want to know more, please ask away. Best regards Rana Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,438 Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Hi Rana, that is quite a break from the sim, I hope you are enjoying being back in the virtual skies! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogtrack 336 Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Ah yes, think I still have a copy of the Manager. Among all my FS9 stuff, which I am very reluctant to get rid of. Even though it has been decommissioned, so to speak. A great tool in its day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is an wonderful community; it almost made me cry knowing that people still remembered FlightSim Manager, and some even fondly. I'm trying to see if there is enough interest to redo it for latest OSes and Sims. Link to the kickstarter page: Link to KickStarter You guys are the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hlminx 301 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hi Rana “FSM Moving Map” Oh wow, that really is a blast from the past! I even think I owned it! Like you, I'm back, although my disappearing act was just after the last ATWC, but I'm up and running with a newly re-built sim, P3Dv5, and lots of enthusiasm... just ran out of 'furlough' time so fitting in flying with work is already reducing my flight hours. Stay safe. Happy Flying! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jemsnixon 0 Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 The Manager is still in my possession. Amidst all of my FS9 memorabilia, which I find extremely difficult to part with. Despite the fact that it has been effectively decommissioned. a superb instrument in its time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,223 Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 to Mutley's Hanger Lester. Which sim are you using now, I've moved onto MSFS and haven't looked back, plenty of addon's for it, accurate GPS systems, great moving air simulations, fantastic default scenery and the list goes on.
