FS2004 Simulated Aircraft Bubble Sextant 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. By Dave Bitzer and Mark Beaumont. File name: DC3_BBSX.ZIP. 991K

FS2004 Binh Thuy Airfield , Vietnam, 1970 Scenery. This 1970 version of my Binh Thuy Airfield scenery depicts the base after the US Navy's Task Force 116 established its headquarters there. In addition to a large fleet of river patrol boats, the Navy's riverine force at Binh Thuy included a detachment of helicopter gunships and a flight of OV-10A attack aircraft. NOTE: A few days ago, I posted a 1960s version of Binh Thuy AF. It depicts the base as it was prior to construction of the extensive naval facility. There is a modern airport (Tra Noc) at the same location in FS 2002. The airport code for Tra Noc is VVCT, whereas the code for Binh Thuy was VVBT. This scenery was designed for FS 2002 but it should work in FS 2004. George Knowles. 550K
