Releases: Squeak-y/FlightSetup
Squeakys Flight Setup 0.2
Squeakys Flight Setup 0.1
Hi, this is just a simple little application I made to help me setup flights with Volanta, Navigraph, Addonlinker, Simbrief and microsoft flight
sim.
Requirements
This was intended to be used with:
- Navigraph Charts Desktop Application
- Volanta (Paid version for looking up Schedules)
- AddonLinker
- SimBrief
I'm not associated with any of the above applications and the application merely provides links to the above sites and services.
INSTALLATION AND SETUP
- Extract the Flight Setup folder to wherever you'd like
- Within the Flight Setup folder open the "config.ini" and amend the paths for Volanta, Charts(Navigraph), Addons(Addon Linker) and you Checklists folder.
volanta = "YourPathToVolanta.exe"
Charts = "YourPathToNavigraph Charts.exe"
Addons = "YourPathToAddonsLinker.exe"
Checklists = "YourPathToYourChecklistsFolder"
To Easily get the path:
- Navigate to where the .exe is located (If a shortcut, right click on it and select 'open file location')
- Hold Shift and Right click on the exe
- Select 'Copy as Path'
- Paste into the .ini
- Open and Edit the Aircraft list:
- The included "Database.xlsx" can be edited with your own aircraft and tail numbers.
- The first Tab / Sheet can be edited with you own aircraft.
- The second is used to look up the airlines and shouldnt need editing.
Its optional but for me I created all the aircraft I use in Volanta with my own Tail numbers so i could see how many hours and flights etc I'd done in each aircraft.
I gave chatgpt a list of all the aircraft i use and asked it to create random GB themed tail numbers but thats just me :D
HOW TO USE
-
Open the FlightSetup.exe
-
Click the "Pick a Flight" button, to open Volanta and find a flight via the Schedules tab (This requires the paid version of Volanta sorry)
If you dont own the paid version of Volanta you could also use FlightRadar to find a reference flight number. -
Type in the flight number you found into the "Ref Flight Number Field"
-
Enter the departure and destination ICAO's into the corresponding fields. So EGSS for London Stanstead.
-
Select which of your Aircraft you'd like to use for the flight from the dropdown list next to aircraft.
-
Hit Generate to create a summary of your flight
This summary I've found is really handy to copy and paste from into Simbrief, MSFS, etc -
Click the Departure, Destination, Aircraft buttons to open their corresponding searches in flightsim.to. This should help you find liveries for your plane based on the airline / flight number you selected and free addon scenery / gsx profiles.
-
Use the SimBrief, Charts, Addons and Checklist buttons to open the relevant apps and tools.
Hope you find this useful :)
