# Navigraph Simlink
|
||||
|
||||
[Navigraph Simlink](https://navigraph.com/apps/connectivity/simlink) allows you to see your aircraft in real time on
|
||||
[Navigraph's charts](https://charts.navigraph.com/). The charts are best accessed on a browser, as this does not require you to run it through Wine.
|
||||
|
||||
<Callout type="warning" emoji="⚠️">
|
||||
This software is only supported on Windows/Mac, even though this has been able
|
||||
to run on Linux, there is no guarantee that this will work later down the
|
||||
line. Do not expect support from Navigraph as this is not officially supported
|
||||
on Linux.

## Installation

|

|
||||
Make sure that you familiarise yourself with [Protontricks](/msfs/protontricks) before beginning this tutorial.
|
||||
|
||||
You can download Navigraph Simlink from their website, or use this direct link
|
||||
[here](https://download.navigraph.com/software/simlink/windows/Navigraph+Simlink.exe).
|
||||
|
||||
<Steps>
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing Navigraph Simlink
|
||||
|
||||
Run the installer in Protontricks. Once the installation completes, Navigraph Simlink will open, you should close this
|
||||
and make sure it's completely closed, as it may just minimise to the system tray.
|
||||
|
||||
### Create a Desktop Entry
|
||||
|
||||
Logging in requires Simlink to be opened form the browser. The only way to register Simlink as a supported application
|
||||
that can open from the browser is to create a
|
||||
[Desktop Entry](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html).
|
||||
|
||||
Desktop Entries go into `~/.local/share/applications/`, but you can create multiple directories inside it to make it
|
||||
easier to manage your custom Desktop Entries you have manually created. For example on my system, I store them under
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Navigraph/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now create a Desktop Entry inside there with a text editor of your choice. The name of the file is irrelevant as long
|
||||
as it has the `.desktop` extension.
|
||||
|
||||
```desktop copy filename="Navigraph Simlink.desktop"
|
||||
[Desktop Entry]
|
||||
Name=Navigraph Simlink
|
||||
Exec=protontricks -c "wine C:/Program\\ Files/Navigraph/Simlink/NavigraphSimlink.exe %u" 1250410
|
||||
Type=Application
|
||||
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/navigraph-traffic-desktop;
|
||||
Categories=Game;Simulation;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then make sure to update the database for desktop entries by running this command in the terminal
|
||||
|
||||
```shell copy
|
||||
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You should now be able to find Navigraph Simlink in your Desktop Environment's application launcher. Launch it and now
|
||||
you should be able to log in!
|
||||
