I regularly meet up with a small group of glider pilots - definitely not Condor, UKVGA.org if you're interested.
We previously used FSX, which outputs each pilot's position etc and Plan-G could pick that up, showing the whole group on a map while flying.
As you're no doubt aware the only data which MSFS makes available is AI data. In MSFS, we use a small app called Transmitter (https://virtualflight.online/transmitter). Each player runs that, which transmits the player's data from the sim to a central database. Users then connect to that (from the mapping program) while the sim is running and we see each other on a map. However, we're limited at present to LittleNavMap; I can't see any way of connecting to the online database via Plan-G.
Is it something you've looked at or would consider please?
Thanks

You might want to check out JoinFS, this connects flyers in different FS versions, without using sim multiplayer options. Also, have a look at Plan-G option settings for traffic, ticking the boxes here will allow you to see other flyers who are connected plus AI.

Thanks for your response.
JoinFS was what we used for FSX so we're very familiar with it. Transmitter is a great deal easier to use.

Re: Multiplayer - MSFS 2020
I haven't heard of Transmitter - I'll look into it, and add support for it if at all possible.
JoinFS definitely works with Plan-G and MSFS - I use it every week in my own multiplayer flights. The only real issue with it is that sometimes you'll see doubled up aircraft in the sim.
Later: It appears to use Whazzup format data. We already use that for Vatsim and Ivao, so I think it'll be a pretty simple addition. Watch this space....![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
