Little Navconnect
=================

Little Navconnect is a free open source application that acts as an agent connecting Little Navmap
with a FSX, Prepar3D, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 or X-Plane flight simulator.

This allows to use Little Navmap on Linux or Mac and saves the the pain of setting up remote SimConnect links.

Issues can be submitted at https://github.com/albar965/littlenavmap/issues .

Network scenario for FSX or Prepar3D using SimConnect:

|Windows Machine                                   |     Windows, Linux or Mac Machines  |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FSX/P3D <-> Simconnect <-> Little Navonnect <- (Network) -> Little Navmap on Computer 1
                                            <- (Network) -> Little Navmap on Computer 2

Network scenario for X-Plane using the Little Xpconnect plugin:

|Windows, Linux or Mac Machine                           |     Windows, Linux or Mac Machines  |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
X-Plane <-> Little XpConnect <-> Little Navonnect <- (Network) -> Little Navmap on Computer 1
                                                  <- (Network) -> Little Navmap on Computer 2

-- INSTALLATION --------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation involves the simple copying of files therefore an installer or setup program is not required.

Do not extract the archive into the folder "c:\Program Files\" or "c:\Program Files (x86)\"
since you will need administrative privileges in some Windows versions.

Since Windows keeps control of these folders other problems might occur like replaced or deleted files.

Extract the Zip archive into a folder like "c:\Own Programs\Little Navconnect".
Then start the program by double-clicking "littlenavconnect.exe".

It is recommended to delete the any old installation directories of Little Navconnect.
You can also install a newer version into another directory but do not merge the installations.

Anyway, no settings are a stored in the installation directory. Therefore it is safe to remove it.

See the online manual for more details.

The installation on Linux and macOS computers is simlar except different paths.
