July 12, 20214 yr 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! Thanks for the link. I love this older interesting stuff. Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind). 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. Intel 14900K in a Z790 motherboard with water cooling, RTX 4080, 32 GB 6000 CL30 DDR5 RAM, W11 and MSFS on Samsung 980 Pro NVME SSD's. Core Isolation Off, Game Mode Off.
July 12, 20214 yr Author Hey bobcat. Enjoy the add-on! Are you referring to "TailSpin Tom" as my co-pilot?
July 12, 20214 yr 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... Former Child, Current Adult
July 12, 20214 yr 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. Jim Morgan
July 13, 20214 yr 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...).
