FSX-MS Adjusting Heading for Wind

[tjrush 54]

I am looking for a guage or independent app into which I can enter

1) desired track,

2) wind direction and

3) wind speed

 

and have it return the heading to be flown.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see now you are after a gauge or app.

This should do the trick. Works well.

I tend to just estimate the heading and check at my waypoints how far out I am and readjust.

 

Of course in the RW, I would use an appropriate slide rule type calculator, though its so long since I flew RW, that I've forgotten how to use the darned thing.
