Flight Planners for FSX

Post by Nigel H-J »

Just came across this site - anyone know anything about this software or even used it?

Scroll down the page - quite a few menus to get through!!!

It's not only a flight planner Dave, it will display the user aircraft track and show AI in the vicinity. It also works well across a network.

Yup.. I saw that mate. FSCommander does the same though I can't comment on it's network capability. It seems to do a hell of a lot but I've still never heard of it :)

Hi George, have you had any experience with this one? had a brief look at the Forum and it appears to be well thought of.

Might well consider saving up for this later on in the year.

:lol: The Only time I do Dave is when flying the CS 737, the rest of the time when flying the Auster or Rapid I just look at the map from where I am and where I'm flying to and hope that I end up where I should!! 8)

Do you mean Plan-G?

I use it all the time, running on my W7 machine connected to FSX on my XP machine. BTW, it's free.

Although I've not heard of 'Ideal Flight'.. I've certainly heard of Plan-G. The price is right too :thumbsup:

Good job it's not G-Plan George; you'll be well along on your route and bits will suddenly dissappear or a waypoint you thought you didn't need suddenly becomes absolutely crucial or you'll be left with lots of unused waypoints at the end! :lol:

Regards,
Chris
