The ability to display flight information (pop-up box) during a flight that would include the following:
- Start point (departure)
- End point (arrival)
- Current Date
- Current Time
- Direction
- Altitude
For the time being there is this tool which you can customize to show some information on the screen:
It doesn’t support Departure/Arrival yet, maybe you can request it.
Also it’s not sleek-looking, but does the job if you just want the info.
For streamers using OBS there are applications that create pretty nice overlays, but they are not visible on the MSFS screen for you, instead they are overlayed in OBS, so probably not what you’re looking for.
I’ll check it out. Thanks!
Little NAV Map will give you all of that, and more!
But it’s a standalone application which you need a second screen for.
Since TO asked for a popup, I assume that it is required to be ingame, which LNM doesn’t offer.
You can display the LNM map with a mod into the toolbar, but it’s just a map, not the requested parameters.
You could easily do this with Air Manager. It will work on a single screen as well if you need it and you can display what you want where you want, in what colour, size etc. It’s as flexible as your imagination.
Maybe it would be helpful if I explain what I am trying to do. For creating videos I use saved and loaded flights, with which I can get a consistent starting point with. The problem is that with saved/loaded flights MSFS is missing things that should be saved/loaded, but aren’t. So even after loading a flight I still have to fuss with things. If I had a way to display flight/location information I could check to see if the loaded flight is what I want. This could be just textual information on the MSFS screen, or a separate window. Unfortunately when using a loaded flight you don’t have access to the weather menu in the toolbar (why appears to be something I call “Asobo Logic”, which is usually a case of the tail wagging the dog). Anyway, upon a load, is the model correct, is the weather correct, is the date and time correct, is the location correct, is the direction correct, is the altitude correct, is the wind correct? That’s what I want to know (because experience has shown that it often isn’t). It doesn’t need to be consistent or realtime, just an information box somewhere. I’ve looked at “Little Navmap” it it’s way overkill for my needs. Shift+Z Stats is lacking needed information.
p.s Here’s an example of “Asobo Logic”. There’s a problem where parked cars are rolling down the hill. Asobo’s solution is for every car to have square wheels.
