Standalone version of my sextant add-on for MSFS!

Includes a very detailed, step-by-step guide to learn this difficult but rewarding capability. 

Take you plane over the oceans without GPS, as in the old days.

Captain Speaking!  How are you?  I have always wanted to meet you!  I spoke to your co-pilot 'First-Officer Here' just the other day!  :biggrin:

Thanks for the link.  I love this older interesting stuff.

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Hey bobcat. Enjoy the add-on!

Are you referring to "TailSpin Tom" as my co-pilot?

WOW! I'm definitely going to learn this in honor of my great grandpa who flew/navigated Lancasters over the dark skies of Germany during the war. Fantastic! I have a period celestial nav pocket book of his somewhere too...

Hi,

Thanks for the interesting link. I haven't done celestial navigation from an aircraft in 60 years. It will be a challenge to see if I can still do it with this app. GPS has sure made navigation a lot easier and accurate.

Thank you for this celestial present from the sky, I tried to track my flight using your device and importing the .CSV file in Littlenavmap, no more GPS tracking, it works. It is beautiful using your CNS with the PMDG DC-6.

Missing the PMDG DC6 in MSFS 2024 (she's here, but...).
