• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Is there any chance to get FSX Planner these days?

Hello,
After I reset my computer recently (to some point of late 2014) I noticed FSX Planner no longer works.
Sadly I no longer have the installer on my computer and I know that zbluesoftware no longer supports it.

so is there currently any chance to obtain an installer?

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
FYI:

This FSX_Planner (aka "FSXP") installer appears to work, and a scan by Malwarebytes with current definition files showed 'no threats' within the ZIP file from 2008:

I have not tested the FSXP package downloadable from GitHub:

https://github.com/evandrix/fsxp > 'click' [Clone or Download] button > Download ZIP


I cannot vouch for whether FSXPlanner will work with the current Java Run-time Environment (aka "JRE") for a Windows 64-Bit platform, but here's some links:

One may- or may not- need to also install a 'side-by-side' installation of an older JRE version, and configure it via the Windows Control Panel "Java" applet:

Approximate disk space requirements appears to be ~120 MB or less per JRE. :idea:

PS: FSX_Planner must be "Run As Administrator", and/or manually allowed to pass through the Windows firewall so it can access SimConnect via TCP/IP
