Navigator App for Bomber Pilots

by Veteran66
The Navigator App for Bomber Pilots is a standalone Windows app for Cliffs of Dover pilots who like to navigate to their destinations.

Navigation devices can easily be moved, placed and used on the map with the mouse.

An "overlay map", containing mission relevant information such as front lines, defense lines, bridges, targets, important flight paths, radio, or direction finder frequencies can be loaded "over" the map itself.

Mission creators (single and multiplayer) can create such an "overlay map" (png image, with an image editor) and distribute it with the mission briefing.

This is suitable for all flight simulations as any flight map can be loaded.
