The screenshot looks like it was taken in an older version of FlexSim. The feature was possibly removed or merged into the Heat Map and Show Allocations option.

Could you provide a link to the tutorial you've been following?

As the video is 8 years old and the A* navigator was an optional module back then, I would indeed assume that this particular feature was removed/replaced in the development process since then. Maybe a developer can provide more information this.

I believe Felix is correct that the red arrow paths were replaced by heat maps. As far as I can tell, this change happened in version 17.2. This is based on the release documentation in the manual and this release video. Heat maps show the same information the red arrows did and also allow for more customization.
