It took alot of digging to find out which plane this came with but here it is if anyone is interested: FSX/FS2004 Levasseur_PL8 Package http://www.simviation.com/simviation/st ... 66&page=10
From the read me:
Navigation with the help of star:
I have incorporate in the plane some usefull tool for navigation,
an astrodome and a U.T time watch !
Here some easy and sample example you can do with it !
find your latitude with only the polaris star !
1. level your plane (put autopilot on and put inclination to 0 degree)
2. bring on the Astrodome sextant (flap key)
3. go in virtual cockpit mode
4. find Polaris star in the sky
Best way to find Polaris in the sky at startup is to check your latitude of departure (if you start at Le Bourguet Paris your latitude will be 48.57 degree north !
so from Le Bourguet the Polaris star is at about 48.57 degree on the north direction.
measure the angle from the horizon at about 48.57 degree from the horizon you will see a bright star, its Polaris,
read the exact angle and subtract 1 degree
exp: I have a measure of 50 degree on the sextant
take off 1 degree (Polaris is at 89 degree) you have 47.57 degree, you latitude is 47.57 degree north
of latitude on the hearth, simple !
note:
(microsoft have not incorporate the Polaris start in is flight simulator 2004 version to remedy that I have incorporate the file in a special folder in flight simulator main folder)
