The #1 Source for Flight Simulator Addons

Thank you for sharing "Sextant Navigator" for MSFS 2024. I find it easy to use but difficult to master just like real celestial navigation. I like the ease of use and design of the sextant's "panel" and that no other modules or applications are necessary for it to operate. I have a passion for vintage aircraft and use the PMDG DC-6 and Asobo/MS DC-3 (with Duckwork's DC-3 Improvement mod on flightsim.to) for a lot of my virtual aviation. So, before this add-on came up, there was and still is CellNav for MSFS by ElectronVolt - on flightsim.to. It is a great add-on too and really embraces both the hands-on manual process of filling in pre-computation forms and chart plotting as well as the easy automatic option like Sextant Navigator. So, having tried both they are each excellent depending on the "depth" you want to go to to learn and use celestial navigation! One thing I can't do with this add-on is to use just the Sun for navigation. I understand we can derive a MPP, or Most Probable Position by combining the plot of a Sun LOP with our DR, our expected position from speed and time. Then our "fix" is determined by selecting the point on the LOP that is closest to a circle around the DR position. This circle denotes an uncertainty in our DR navigation. Common practice is to use 10% of the distance since the last fix. Perhaps, this might be another feature to add to an already feature rich add-on and app. (4 stars - 5 stars if it could to this too!) ---------- Merci d’avoir partagé « Sextant Navigator » pour MSFS 2024. Je le trouve facile à utiliser mais difficile à maîtriser, tout comme la navigation astronomique réelle. J’apprécie la simplicité d’utilisation et la conception du « panneau » du sextant, ainsi que le fait qu’aucun autre module ou application ne soit nécessaire à son fonctionnement. Je suis passionné par les avions d'époque et j'utilise le DC-6 de PMDG ainsi que le DC-3 d'Asobo/MS (avec le mod « DC-3 Improvement » de Duckwork disponible sur flightsim.to) pour la plupart de mes vols virtuels. Ainsi, avant la sortie de cet add-on, il existait – et il existe toujours – CellNav pour MSFS, développé par ElectronVolt et disponible sur flightsim.to. C’est également un excellent add-on qui intègre à la fois le processus manuel et pratique consistant à remplir des formulaires de précalcul et à tracer des cartes, ainsi que l’option automatique simplifiée comme celle de Sextant Navigator. Ayant donc essayé les deux, je peux dire qu’ils sont tous deux excellents, selon le « niveau de profondeur » que vous souhaitez atteindre pour apprendre et utiliser la navigation astronomique ! Il y a toutefois une chose que je ne peux pas faire avec cet add-on : utiliser uniquement le Soleil pour la navigation. Je comprends que l’on puisse déduire une MPP (position la plus probable) en combinant le tracé d’une ligne de position (LOP) du Soleil avec notre DR (position estimée), c’est-à-dire la position attendue calculée à partir de la vitesse et du temps. Notre « position » est alors déterminée en sélectionnant le point de la ligne de position (LOP) le plus proche d’un cercle centré sur la position DR. Ce cercle indique une incertitude dans notre navigation par DR. La pratique courante consiste à utiliser 10 % de la distance parcourue depuis la dernière position. Ce serait peut-être une fonctionnalité supplémentaire à ajouter à un module complémentaire et à une application déjà très riches en fonctionnalités. (4 étoiles – 5 étoiles s’il pouvait faire cela aussi !)

Hello, merci pour ton travail! C'est très complet! Dans ta prochaine mise à jour, est-ce que tu arriverais à modéliser les postes de stationnement du pavillon d'honneur? ça rajouterait encore un peu plus de réalisme :)

Деталлизированная ливрея, спасибо за работу! К вопросу низкой оценки от FlyVex: возможно, что разница в цвете носовой и средней части фюзеляжа вызвана тем, что на передней части фюзеляжа есть следы грязи, а дальше по всему фюзеляжу они отстствуют. Возможно ли это как-то исправить в будущем?

dude plz make some more cool/funny planes like this. this is a literal masterpiece lmao

Thanks for this, but how does one reset the community folder location? I tried to install it to a different location, but it didn't work. Now it never asks for the community folder location again, even after deleting everything including localappdata folder. Where is it saving the community folder location? registry key? The gsx profile in the drag and drop also only covers 1 variant, it needs to be copied to various folders for every variant, there are 5 for each engine type, 10 total.

Thanks for doing it properly, every other profile I tried didn't have the correct folder structure.

You do amazing work and it's appreciated by many people who may not always comment. Many, many thanks for sharing your creations. Saddening to see some unappreciative comments here.

Thank you, genuinely thank you for the effort you put developing this tool its a game changer for livery makers and even for people starting to make liveries like me, thanks to you i have managed to make my very first proper livery for the A310-300, it was intuitive, simple and pretty straight forward, now i have a whole universe of posibilities to create my own liveries and airlines, all of this wouldn't have been possible withouth your amazing tool, thank you once again i really appreciate this tool!!!

Asobo must immediately purchase this mod and integrate it into the simulator!

You clearly doing an incredible job despite the limits of the sim. Finally, getting back some immersion and envy to fly on this sim. Can't wait to see the future updates, thank you ! Btw, in some conditions, FS2024 live weather produce the following awful gaseous/weird high clouds (not linked to your mod), do you think you can change or get rid of them? Here was at TFFR. I don't know what real clouds they are supposed to represent (probably cirrus) but they ruin completely the sky colors and cloudscape. Here some pics with your mod off and on, your mod makes them have a more coherent color in the sky but their look/shape are just awful. The high-cloud thickness setting makes them more or less visible. If you could do something about them, would be amazing. Big support for what you doing.

Fantastic add on. Makes the entire experience of selecting aircraft smoother. Perfect world, it would give an option to show speed of the selected aircraft (would be especially handy for group bush flights where a certain cruise speed is required), but otherwise its a gem!

I tested it along with the Cloudsurf mod and it was awesome! I also happened to start playing around with shaders today, coincidently. I started off with Reshade after downloading your app. But I gave Optishade a try afterwards and I will be sticking with it. I tried your app with both installed but it wouldn't work. With only Optishade installed it still doesn't work. Your app is expecting ReShade to be installed. Again, really enjoyed the app and I appreciate you taking the time to bring this to the community especially for free! I hope to see it work with OptiShade at some point :)
