Simcharts within FS9

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

The other day I installed Jeppersen Simcharts with integration with FS2002 -
although I'm running FS2004.
When starting FS2004, it warns me of potentially conflicting software, and
up to now I've used the option of NOT loading it.
However, I was curious to see what would happen if I DID load it, so I've
just done that.

It works fine, no problems there, but I've noticed two things.
Looking at a few charts (EGSS, EHAM and EGLL) I've noticed a distance in red
(xx km) with a red arrow-head, although I cannot figure out where the
distance refers to (I was sitting on the ground at EGGW at the time and the
distances do not match).
Then I decided to try a flight (EGSS-EGLL) and looking at the EGSS chart, I
saw a red 'plane - me!
I taxied from the gate, out onto the runway and took off (under ATC control
of course!), then checked the chart again. It showed my trail but it was WAY
off the runway marking on the chart.

I can only assume this is because it's a FS2002 add-in not a FS2004 add-in,
but would like to hear comments, especially from those who use these charts
with FS200x.
