Simulated Aircraft Bubble Sextant Chart (addon) |
![]() |
File Description:
This is an add-on to the "dc3_bbsx.zip" Simulated Aircraft Bubble Sextant Gauge. While the simulated sextant determines the elevation to the star, it requires drawing lines of position on a chart to ascertain the latitude and longitude of the fix. The Global Navigation Charts (GNC) at scale 5,000,000:1 are suitable but not generally available for this purpose. This gauge simulates small sections of the proper chart, and automatically places the LOP from the sextant on the chart in the proper orientation. It includes installation and operating instructions, and an example flight description. Install the "dc3_bbsx.zip" first, if it hasn't been installed already.

FS2004 Simulated Aircraft Bubble Sextant |
![]() |
File Description:
As travel by air developed and matured, navigation over long distances also developed and improved. In the early days, however, air navigation essentially used ship navigation techniques adapted for aircraft. Without "landmarks", the navigators used Ded Reckoning (DR) and the stars. Celestial or Astronomical Navigation provides a means of obtaining Lines of Position (LOPs) from the stars. Crossing LOPs will fix a position. It requires a chart, and a planned course on that chart, with waypoints specified by Latitude and Longitude, an assumed time of arrival at each waypoint, and stars (including the Sun, Moon, or planets) in view. In the 1940s, extensive tables of star positions were made available to air navigators to be used with sextants to obtain these LOPs. In the tables, all times involved are GMT. This data is available from the Internet in "ready to use" form. This gauge simulates the sextant, and the process by which one obtains a LOP, or crossing LOPs to obtain a position, or fix. Can be used with any FS2004 aircraft. Includes comprehensive browser-based manual and references.

Sextant HLLV Booster |
![]() |
File Description:
This is SEXTANT, the Shuttle EXternal TANk Transport. It is a hypothetical booster that uses beefed up shuttle external tanks for its structure and RS68 engines from the Delta IV. I can lift up to 500 tons into LEO. I've included the 3ds files so any of you can modify the booster or the cargo pod as you wish.

Simulated ATC Manual |
![]() |
File Description:
This manual is dedicated to Alan "Badger" Rear who passed away in April 2007 and enjoyed providing online simulated ATC service for friends and the enitre flight simulator community. It is provided in hopes that anyone, beginner or expert might learn more about flying online in a "live" ATC environment. The manual covers everything that either the online simulator pilot or Air Traffic Controller would need to know. A virtual encyclopedia of information, tips, techniques, and step-by-step lessons on everything from flying to controlling, using freely available software and payware to create an online ATC service. It also explores the future of online ATC in the form of suggestions for the developer community through the experience of those like Badger that brought it to life. Enjoy!

Quick Reference Chart for Flying Aircraft |
![]() |
File Description:
This is an easy to read Excel spreadsheet to be used as a quick reference chart for flying your aircraft:
(A-320) (A-330-200) (717-200) (737-500) (737-800) (747-400) (757-200) (CRJ-200) (EMB-145) (EMB-170)
The chart eliminates the need to memorize each aircraft's specifications needed for flying. The following fields are provided:
[Aircraft Type & Equipment Code]
[Passenger Seating]
[All Flap Settings which include Takeoff & Landing]
[Maximum Speed for Gear Down]
[Range & Maximum Altitudes]
[V1 VR V2]
[Climb & Descent Rates]
[Max Speed Based on Altitude]
[Cruise Speed]
[Max Fuel]
[Approach Settings]
[Max Fuel]
[Zero & Gross Wt]
[Forward & Aft Cargo Space]
