Navigation and Planning
DCSMP - a lightweight planning tool that has not had development for some time but still might be useful for A-10 and F/A-18 planning. Good for TOLD data.

Great Circle Calculator - online tool (very old) that will let you calculate an offset point from a known Lat-Long - useful for CAS in the Hornet and Viper until we get working offset points in the jet

A lot of useful DCS planning maps from Bailey
Exported Moving Map
A set of software you can chain together to get a moving map on a tablet.
DCS to GPS has good associated tutorials. Franson GPS gate will receive a UDP stream from DCS to GPS and send it out over bluetooth to your tablet. Bluetooth GPS (for android) will spoof your real GPS location and make android see the location from GPSGate. Then add mapping as you desire (including professional aviation kneeboard mapping apps if you want).
- DCS to GPS 1.4
- Franson GPS Gate
- For Android - Bluetooth GPS by GGMobLab for spoofing your GPS location
- Plus any mapping software of your choice. Options include AlpineQuest with the OpenTopo mapping or SkyCharts. AlpineQuest will import kmz files so you can have custom overlays, and will read the MBTiles format also used by CombatFlite.
Another excellent alternative is OpenCPN (Windows and Android), which is designed as a marine navigation app. It has A LOT of features, plus more with plugins. This has the advantage of accepting location input in many different ways, including UDP over TCP/IP, meaning you don't need the FransonGPS stage to get from DCStoGPS to you chart app.
