Mine is working fine but the procedure has a glitch
if you are Win98 challenged.

This is from a post by Trip Lane with my comments
added:

1)  Install or update FS Nav to version 2.3 running under
FS98

2)  Gather all your scenery files together and create your
FSNavDBC (database) using the DBC program in FSNav,
making sure all the stuff you want is in there.  This will
be the data that you will have, NOT the FS2K data.

3)  Make sure FSNav is working in FS98 as a double check.

4)  Open Windows Explorer and do a drag and drop COPY
from the ..../Flight Simulator/Flight Simulator/Modules folder
(the default if you haven't changed it) using the right mouse
button...the whole folder, into the ..../FS2000/Modules folder.

5)  Copy the one file FSNav.isu to the ....FS2000/Modules
folder.

6) Then, in my listing, the FSNav.dll file did NOT show up in
the listing in Windows Explorer.  If it does show up, copy it
also with 5) above.  If not, go to the top menu "Tools" then
"Find">"files and folders" and search the .../Flight Simulator/
Modules folder for FSNav.dll and COPY that from the search
window listing to the ..../FS2000/Modules folder.  For some
reason, this must be a "hidden" file on my system.  It must
be there for FSNav to work with the F9 key as in FS98.

I have not tried (nor do I use) the autopilot hookup with
the flight planner, but the moving map works nicely as
in FS98 and all navaids show up as well.  Now if we can
just get the FS2K database in there.......
