Any free Nav / Flight Planners around ?

Can anyone recommend a free navigation and flight planning tool for FS9 that will allow me to print out a table of VOR/ NDB distances, bearings, frequencies etc ? I'm going to buy FSNavigator once I have FSX and can be sure of compatibility, but till then I need something for FS9.

Go to the Links section at Classics british Files theres a handy dandy flight planner link there that will give you routings with headings/vor/ndb freqs -
even do Eurocontrol routes for you

Cheers Leif, I'll definitely try that one out. Since I started this thread, I've found Alessandro Antonini's Super Flight Planner which also looks very good. Anyone else use a flight planner ?

Paul,

FSNav V 4.7 won't work in FSX and it never will do.

According to the FSNav site they are making an entirely new FSNav for FSX, built from scratch, and it will have very little in common with previous versions apart from the general idea. Worse is that there won't be an upgrade path, everyone will have to buy it new.

Alessandro Antonini's Super Flight Planner

That's the one that I use to create flight plans for Radar Contact, etc.. Exports to various other formats. Development is a bit variable due to the guy's private life (I think a divorce delayed version 4).

Most of the othe freeware ones (eg Nav) have fallen by the wayside, or gone payware (FSBuild).

Thanks very much indeed for that, Kit. Looks like I was right to hold off from buying it. Cheers!

I use Super Flight Planner too, and sometimes the last freeware version of FSBuild.

There is also UKRoute if you fly in the UK.
