Question about Bismarck!_Fs9_and_FSX.zip

:wavey:
I have installed Bismarck!_Fs9_and_FSX.zip--the Bismarck battleship--downloaded here from the SOH Donationware files.


:banghead:
Can anyone tell me what its ICAO is ---or how I can find it in another manner--e.g. starting from an airfield xxx and heading xxx miles in a heading xxxx?

 
Oddly enough, the Bismarck's location is revealed in the README PLEASE.txt file ... fly on down to N49 10' W17 12' and you'll be within sight of the Bismarck steaming towards it's final location of N48 10' W16 12', where it sank. Watch out, as you close in, the ship will engage with defensive flak!
 
The pr0blem is how to fly to those coordinates.

Open the map and then move my plane's icon with the mouse? I tried that with with FS Navigator but it was hard to find the coordinates.

Where do I take off from?

Make a flight plan but start where?

If anyone can find it, save a flight with the aircraft changed to the default C172 FLYING OVER the ship and zip it and attach it here please.
 
Is there a version of AI Carriers for FS9?

A utility like that will allow you to put any ship at all exactly where you want it.

I found it. The answer was simple and it was indicated to me by a friend, Nick Daskalakis, whi told me to put the coordinates i the open map view.
I did that and found myself over the ship. Saved a couple of flights.

See screenshot attached--an RAF Catalina over it.
