How does the CoPilot GPS instrument work?
” CoPilot’s GPS pretends to operate as if it were a satellite based instrument. But in reality, Flight Simulator “talks” to CoPilot using FS98’s gauge features. For FS95, CoPilot uses a tiny, ingenious program called FS6IPC.DLL which is able to tell CoPilot a lot of things about the aircraft – it’s location, altitude, speed, etc. In either case, CoPilot uses this information to change the moving map and GPS screen display so that you can visually track your exact position. “What are the steps for using CoPilot and MS Flight Simulator?” Most users will do the following: • Start CoPilot • Load the maps for the geographic area that they are going to fly • Make their flight plan using CoPilot’s QuickPlan • Start Flight Simulator • Resize their map to occupy a small part of their screen • Start and set the GPS to the first waypoint • Start flying from their departure airport “How easy is it to make a flight plan using CoPilot’s QuickPlan?” Early users have told us that it’s quite easy.
