Just for information.. MSFS working with MsFs v. 2004 with little navmep separately. Personally I do have to open two windows 1 is LNM (little navmap) n the other 2nd window is the sonukatoe. What I do is , manually enter the flight plan into simulator and little nav map. And visually follow the nav map flight route.

Looks like a very complex flight planner. Excellent explanations! Thank you. Would be so nice to have a detailed flight plan tutorial for the X-plane 11 Cessna 172 and a 50-60 min flight!
Wow, thanks so much for this brilliant tutorial! I had no clue software with so many great features is available for free - unbelievable. I will try it and if I get it to work like that, will do a donation to that project. In my head I was already considering a Skydemon subscription, which is just a little better and legal for real world flying as well, but this is even better for simulation because it integrates with IVAO and VATSIM.

Excellent informative video that answered many questions I had about LNM. One question I still have though, re Navigraph: is it possible to link my Navigraph account as my LNM shows as Airac 1801 as opposed to 2011? Many thanks for creating & uploading Jonathan :)
Hi Jonathan. Thanks for this very informative video. I am having a bit of difficulty getting the profile elevation profile window to sit under the map without resorting to stretching across the screen. Any idea how I can fix this?
You can drag any element of the screen around - the best bet is to switch off the various windows (via the windows menu) and then build up the diplay bit by bit to understand how the docking and snapping works.

Excellent and very useful video, thanks. I've followed your instructions to setup Little NavMap, and I've loaded the route into the FMC on the Zibo 737, but the route in the sim does not match the route in LittleNavMap. Specifically, there is a fix D102G in the SID, which is not in the SID in your video, and which is in a completely different place in the sim. I've loaded the scenery library and it's AIRAC Cycle 1802. I have 'Do not use Navigraph database' selected in LittleNavMap. What am I doing wrong? (I realise this is an old AIRAC cycle, but surely what I see in LittleNavMap (which says AIRAC 1802 under Scenery Library) should match what I get in the sim?)
I've seen oddities like that myself from time to time too - usually because the sim database itself has picked the wrong waypoint. It's always worth checking the flight plan before you take off - I'll do a video at some point about how to skip steps in a flight plan in the Zibo - I never remember how to do it myself, so would be a good refresher for me too :)
Thanks. I've tried deleting the errant fix in the FMC, and it looks much better, but of course it doesn't follow the route of the SID, which obviously includes a fix at that point.
Hi John, is it possible to type in the route without having to go trought picking every point on the right windows ? Think more like importing the route from published routing like EDIGLA website ?
@@jonbeckett Yes, in have seen your other video as well and I just did enter a whole route as copy and paste from another source. This app is amazing, it's a dignified sucessor to FSCommander I used so much with FSX. Life is good ! Thanks

Hi Jonathan, thanks for your great tutorials for MSFS. I would like more in particular more of the functions of the G100 such as VNV etc. Also can you tell me what GPU you are using to get such great graphics. I have a I7 with a RTX 3060 TI. Thanks again.
@@jonbeckett Sorry, I guess i thought wrong. CTD stans for Crash To Desktop. I think it has something to do with how map connects to sim. Anyway, at least it will force me to max out my use od sim system XD.
Hello Jonathan, -I do have some issues when I try to select the destination airport gates. When I do that, my flight plan is turning into mass, actually, the destination airport is chang to the departure airport. Is this problem happening because my flight simulation is MSFs Steam edition? If yes, then I shouldn't worry at all, right? - The flight plan elevation profile is printable? Ths. Leo
Hi there, been using this program with fs2020, can you tell me why my plane on the map does not stay on the flight plan course. It is off a bit even though it gets me to rwy.
A very helpful video; I have now started to use LNM as a result. I would like to add my aircraft's performance to the aircraft list. It is in LNMPERF format. I have tried to find where these files are located in XP11 and serched for *.LNMPERF files but none show. Where do I save these files, please?
Hi Jonathan, thank you for your great video. I am up and running with LNM for my X Plane 11. It’s fantastic. I have it installed on my main PC but is it possible to install it on a laptop giving me a 2nd screen just for a map? Can this be done? Many thanks C.Davis
When you install LittleNavMap, the X-Plane plugin is in the program folder - there is a folder called "Little XPConnect" - copy the entire folder and put it in your X-Plane Plugins folder.
@@bowlerboy100 if you're running FSX, Prepar3D or MSFS2020, you need SimConnect (which they all have built in) - if you're running X-Plane you need the "Little XP Connect" plugin installed in X-Plane.
@@bowlerboy100 I'm just finishing a flight in MSFS2020 - if you hop into Discord (see the TH-cam Channel about page), I can show you via a live stream.
I have a problem that it always stops following the plan about 2 or 3 legs before ILS landing at airport, even approach legs or stars, gets to 2 or 3 legs then just goes straight instead of turning and following plan, do I need to fly in GPS or FMS? Do I need to manually enter the ILS frequency in nav1
Depends which simulator and/or aircraft. For most airliners, you'll need to do more than just load the flight plan - such as setting up departure, performance, and approach. In the 737s and 747s you have to do a lot more than the Airbus (but then it gives you something to do too) :)
For GA aircraft, you'll be lucky if it even has any form of LNAV. Generally, you'll use heading, altitude, and vertical speed modes on the autopilot, and correct for the wind a little.
@@jonbeckett Oh it seems I have to find each country separatly. Is there any way to find it on the internet in CSV for complete europe, just to load them up? I found for the most west europe countries, but like overlay :/
Hi Jonathan, thanks for the video. I have a question about the Online airspaces, in my version of LNV they are only circles.
