Warp to over any city or landing leg direct from flight.

A quick look at FStarter add-on.

1) With this add-on you can while flying in the air, change location (to be over any city, 100 thousand of them in the scroll down list). Arranged alphabetically according to first Country and then State (or Province etc.). There is a separate list of all the original programmatic cities  (I'm guessing 150 cities in that second list). Also enter speed, altitude, and compass direction in boxes.

2 There is also window to enter any ICAO for warping to a landing leg.I have not tested #2 (I don't understand, the documentation is spotty).

Annoyances: GUI window not sizable, on a small monitor (24") the labels and check boxes are hard to read. No problem on my 32" screen (32" has double square inches of a 24").

We are reminded as to why MSFS loading screens are slow and why done in 2D. This utility jumps you direct to the new location mid air. Suddenly you see a blue sky, another color of completely featureless ground beneath it, not a single texture! It can take 30 seconds or maybe 45 for the scenery to pop up in view piece by piece. Because Microsoft is downloading the scenery stream.

Also if the original flight was loaded from a .flt instead of an .pln file, then there is no 'weather' icon on the top menu to change the time of day. So you may warp from daylight to midnight, black sky and black ground, the features with lights are not loaded yet, disorientating. But the workaround is to have developers mode open, with its slider bar to instantly change time of day. Setting up flights from the main MSFS Welcome menu in the normal way are done by a .pln, so this issue does not apply when warping out of them.

The plane should be stable where you are flying originally, so it will be also to where you warp.

My first trial I warped to Colorado City not remembering it was a 'mile high' city, lasted about 5 seconds, hit mountain. 😞

3 You add your own POI's in the app's scroll down list, Then you can warp to them at anytime from anywhere, from a menu or in flight. Such as your mother-in-laws house. You make these personal custom POI's by right clicking somewhere on LittleNavMap where they jump to windows clipboard and the app will find and store them if you want it to. If a software can create MSFS format position locations (most any flight planner), then probably it will work very similar to LittleNavMap. Clicking on the list of your custom POIs. or the handy list of alphabetized cities stored in the app, you can paste them into the MSFS Welcome screen map. Or warp in flight to one of your custom POIs. The app can be thought of as a storehouse as well as a jump starter.

3 The feature to warp to the legs (downwind etc.) of an approach at any airport I have not tested, because I don't follow the instructions well enough to understand (I just bought the app last night). This is another fault: the documentation PDF is short and abbreviated. Nobody on Youtube has posted videos and this app, and it is 2 months old (except the author's own I think are 3 short videos).

5 It costs 10 Euros at simmarket.

6 It has a 'beta' look about it, not polished, you very well may not like it. But it is cheap enough to try.
