Pilot tools - AeroSors

The following tools have been developed by Hervé Sors and are freely available, along with many others, on the website www.aero.sors.fr.

NavAids

The NavAids project is intended to update flight simulator radionavigation aids (VOR, NDB) as well as—for the European zone—ILSs, intersections, airways, runway identifiers, lighting, and ground markings to match information published in the aeronautical documentation in force.

Updated packages are released at regular intervals following the AIRAC cycle.

Current version: AIRAC 2206 (16-June-2022)

The RadioAids package includes a set of corrected .bgl files. A dedicated installer handles the automated setup, backup of initial simulator files, and uninstallation if needed.

Because of structural differences between simulator platforms, specific packages are provided for each version:

• FS2004 (FS9) update
• FSX / Prepar3D (v1 to v4) update
• Prepar3D v5 update available upon request by email

The revision history is available here.

Geographical coverage and installation procedures are detailed in the included PDF manual, which we strongly recommend reading thoroughly.

A supplementary update covering ILSs and runway identifiers for regions outside Europe is also available for FSX and Prepar3D.

Adacalc

Adacalc (Advanced Aeronautical Calculator) is a utility designed to compute a wide range of aeronautical values quickly and accurately, including:

• atmospheric parameters (pressure and density altitudes);
• airspeeds (IAS, CAS, TAS, Mach) based on altitude and temperature;
• wind components (en-route headwind/crosswind and runway components);
• great-circle (orthodromic) and rhumb-line (loxodromic) courses and distances;
• holding pattern geometry and entry procedures;
• standard aeronautical unit conversions.

Tiny Flight Software (Tracker and Viewer)

Tiny Flight Tracker is an application that uses FSUIPC (compatible with FS9, FSX, Prepar3D v1–v5, and MSFS) or XPUIPC (X-Plane) to record numerous flight parameters automatically, smoothly, and accurately.

Recorded data can be exported and reviewed in tabular format or visualized in 3D within Google Earth (with full parameter readouts via pop-up placemarks) using the customizable Tiny Flight Viewer application.

Tiny Flight Tracker and Tiny Flight Viewer are packaged together, fully portable, and require no installation.

The use of Tiny Flight Tracker is mandatory for all practical pilot exams in the IVAO France Division.

Warning: This software is not suitable for Pilot Skills tours. For those flights, you must use the Skills Tracker referenced directly on the official tour page.

Current version: 4.00 (May 2021) — Documentation (PDF).
