I have been trying to find these 2 tools for FSX.

 

I know they were released for FS2004:

 

Bubble Sextant Gauge by Dave Bitzer and Mark Beaumont.

 

Driftmeter by Dave Bitzer

 

These would be great additions to the A2A B-17 and 377.

 

Anyone know if these are released for FSX or adaptable?

I have both of those gauges. They are BB_sextant.cab and Drift5.cab and Drift7.cab. They will work in FSX as far as I remember. Bob.

When I tried these gauges recently the drift meter worked just fine right "out of the box", but the sextant would never return a distance until I modified it a bit. (PM me if you need the modified version.)

Thanks. I sent you an e-mail. Best regards, Bob.

So to be sure I set these up correctly.

 

Where are you guys downloading these from? I will PM you Kronzky for the correct file.

 

Any advice on installing these?

 

Thanks I will post later today on some advice on using a Sextant for others to see.

You can either

You can either download them directly from the DC3 Airways site (which is the authors' main "hangout"): http://www.dc3airway...oads/gauges.htm

Most FS repositories will have them as well, (e.g. Simviation has a nice page for it).

 

As far as installation — it's the same as any addon gauge, and the gauges do come with instructions.

 

The sextant itself also comes with very detailed usage instructions, but some people find them a bit overwhelming, so I set up a little tutorial page on my site, with some "bare bones recipes": http://kronzky.info/...xtant/tutorial/

HI. Thanks. That tutorial is great. To be honest I have had the gauge for years and never did try it. Regards, Bob.
