    I wish there was a way to zoom in the map without changing the text size. When you zoom in the map the text actually gets smaller. I'm on a 65 in 4k TV and using the recommended scaling of 300 so that may be why, but it would still be better to have separate zoom for text and map or not change the text size at all.

    Hi Ddare. It appears you might be using the interface scaling buttons instead of the map zoom. Currently, the map itself can only be zoomed using the mouse scroll wheel. The upcoming update will introduce dedicated on-screen buttons specifically for map zooming. This will allow you to zoom the map independently without altering the text or interface size. I expect to release this update in a week or two. However, if I am misunderstanding your issue, could you please send me some screenshots via private message (showing the state before and after zooming)? Also, which text do you mean - the interface/addon text or the map text?

    I mean the map text is too small when zooming in using the mouse wheel. This has always been an issue for me. If I use the interface zoom then everything is too big. It's strange because if I open openstreetmaps.org in a browser everything is fine, zoom and text is perfectly readable. But in the sim it's different and it doesn't matter if I'm running the sim at 1440p or 4k. So, I'm kinda scratching my head on it. Keep in mind I'm on a 65in 4k TV sitting about 8 ft away and that's why I run it at the windows recommended 300 scale, which you might think is too big, but it's really not.

    Edit: Just did some checking. If you leave your app at it's default scale (with the no plus adjustment on the interface), the text on the map is readable at 1920p, worse at 1440, and at 4k unreadable. If you then use the interface +, there are not enough increments available to get you to a comfortable readable scale as far as map text goes. One is too big and the other too small. Hope that helps.

    how to remove the stupid update msg from blocking the map????

    Hi Greg,

    I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue with the map being blocked. I tried to replicate the behavior you described, and I believe I know what's happening.

    Currently, the consent/update window will keep appearing until you explicitly confirm or deny the update checks by clicking the "Continue" button. If you close the window by just clicking the "x" in the corner, your preference isn't saved. I completely understand how that can be annoying, so I will treat this as a feature request. I'll update the logic in the next version so that clicking the "x" automatically registers as a denial.

    For now, please try making your selection (allow or deny) and then make sure to click the "Continue" button.

    If the prompt still keeps coming back after doing that, please try using the "Factory Reset" option. Once the addon reloads, make your choice again and click "Continue" (again, please avoid just using the "x").
    Important: Before doing a Factory Reset, please make sure to back up your API keys if you've entered any (under Menu > Configure API/User).

    I've put together some screenshots showing exactly what to click here:
    https://a5tr0.sk/fspm-osm/consent_and_reset/

    Please let me know if using the "Continue" button helps resolve the issue for you! If not, please tell me exactly what steps you are taking, and I'll do my best to figure it out.

    I just tested the version 1.10.0, it feels smoother and better, no longer laggy. You can now move waypoints with the mouse and the cross-bearing is great. Thanks for your work a5tr0.

    2026-04-06: version 1.10.0 🔥🔥🔥🔥

    New stuff:
    * The addon is more interconnected with the Connector app now, but it still works as you are used to. The addon will detect if you are running the Connector app and offer to use it as a data source - the Connector is the bridge/server between the browser/addon and MSFS, so running the Connector without using its data in-game in MSFS is wasteful and brings unnecessary CPU load. So when the addon detects the app, you will be asked if you want to use it or not - it's up to you.
    * What you gain when you decide to use the Connector so far:
    - Available nearby traffic from MSFS (radar button)
    - Wind data from Open-Meteo visualization (may be slightly different from the MSFS wind direction data)
    - Plane tracking data remembered across sessions
    - Improved MSFS flight plan support
    - Future plans: option to use OpenStreetMaps and OpenAIP offline (+ adding OpenFlightMaps as well). The reason is to reduce the load on the OpenStreetMaps and OpenAIP servers.

    * Summary of the update:
    - Traffic button (via Connector app)
    - Weather menu: "Wind" visualization - open-meteo.com (via Connector app)
    - Plane tracking data stored (via Connector app)
    - Weather menu: "Radar" - rain and snow - rainviewer.com
    - Measurement tool: "Cross-Fix Tool" for triangulation
    - Measurement tool: Any point created can be moved by clicking and dragging, even when the measurement tool is closed
    - Control panel: "Soft-Close/Open" keyboard shortcut: after you start the addon, you can hide/show it via a hotkey (make sure to choose a shortcut that doesn't conflict with your existing keybinds)
    - Control panel: "Use connector app" - if you are running the Connector app as well, I suggest you turn this option on.
    - Control panel: "Actual map view" - see the actual zoom and coordinates
    - Control panel: "Show Autopilot" - still in development. Currently, when a plane has its own AP, it will turn on (HDG + ALT hold). If you draw a route via the Measurement tool and set the "AP Route" option - you can trigger the autopilot to follow that route. My aim is to make this work for planes which don't have a native AP - but right now it's still kinda too buggy to "release" :)
    - Control panel: "Factory reset" - this will clear all your settings and APIs from MSFS and from the Connector app if it is connected.
    - Tiny optimizations for mobile displays, but I would use those only for viewing, not direct interaction (tablets should be ok).
    - Addon update notification
    - A couple of bugs fixed, but with this amount of changes, you might find some new ones - just report them here or send me a private message.

    Hi there!

    Before the update, I had a button assigned to open the 'Display map'. Back then, both the original VFR map and this tool opened simultaneously. Now, only the original map opens.

    Is there a way to reassign this or fix the shortcut?

    Thanks!"

    Hi Davidweny! Thanks for reaching out.
    I removed this default behavior based on users feedback, and because using this shared key binding trick actually causes the entire addon to fail in MSFS 2024 — this will work only in MSFS2020 version.
    However, if you download the latest version of the addon (1.10.0), which I will be posting shortly as separate post, you can easily restore the behavior you are used to!
    Here is how to do it:
    Download and install version 1.10.0 in your Community folder as usual.
    Navigate to Community\fspm-panel-vfrmap\InGamePanels\.
    Double-click and run the KEY_SHOW_VFRMAP-activate.bat file.
    This script will automatically back up the standard file and apply the alternate configuration. After running it, pressing your map key will open the addon map alongside the default one again.
    If you ever want to revert these changes in the future (for example, when transitioning to MSFS 2024), simply run the KEY_SHOW_VFRMAP-deactivate.bat file located in that same folder to restore the default settings.
    Let me know if you run into any issues!
    Updated version of addon is available now on my site, soon will emerge also on flightsim.to:

    First of all, thank you so much for this great work!
    I use the tool to shorten long-haul flights. For aircraft like the FBW A380, Inibuilds A350, and A340, it’s great because you can easily adjust the fuel during the flight on those models. Unfortunately, you can’t do that with the Fenix A320. Is there a way or a tool that can change the fuel on the Fenix during the flight?
    Or is there a possibility of adding this fuel adjustment feature to this tool in the future?

    Hi a5tr0 , i like your VFR Map. But what I miss is a dragtable ruler, so i can move the point with mouse.
    For Radio Navigationi need two ADF/NAV Points to define my position on the map, work fine with "little navmap". But VFR Map is ingame and more comfortable for me, only this movable ruler for ADF/NAV Navigation i miss ;)
    Is this possible?

    Hi Veteran! :) I'll look into it and see if I can add this feature to the Measurement Tool as an option. I'm planning to release an update soon (in a couple of days, maybe in a week), so I might try to squeeze it in. Thanks for the suggestion!
