# 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.

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!

||||||
