EarthPos is a simple python script for Microsoft FlightSimulator 2020 and Google Earth Pro.
Track your flight route in Google Earth Pro in realtime as you fly.
It's especially handy if you have more than 1 displays and you can run the MSFS in one screen
and follow your flight route in Google Eearth Pro in another screen.
----------
Installation:
1. Download and install Google Earth Pro on desktop:
https://www.google.com/earth/download/gep/agree.html?hl=en-GB
2. Install Python for windows (and set the python path in the install process).
https://www.python.org/downloads/
3. install SimConnect
open terminal (windows key, type cmd +enter),
pip install SimConnect
4. extract the EarthPos.zip to a folder
5. Run MSFS2020 and start a new flight
6. Run the python script:
open terminal (windows key, type cmd +enter),
cd (folder where you extracted it).
python earthpos.py
7. Open file browser and browse to the folder where you extracted EarthPos.zip
8. Double click liveposition.kml or liveposition2.kml file
9. and it shows your location in google earth pro in realtime. liveposition2.kml shows your current position + your track and liveposition.kml shows just your current location.
Enjoy!
UPDATE: uninstalled python and did a reinstall (adding python to PATH) everything works!
Question: Is there a way to follow aircraft/plane on google earth?
I've installed sim connect still seeing same issue.
