I've converted the UK internal flights in Jon's (360shed) list of Emerald HS748 routes into *.pln format for use with the FS GPS etc. I've just sent the zip file to DaveB who will, no doubt, make them available soon. There are 28 plans in the zip, each with real world airways routes appropriate to t...

Procedures and routings were different and there were many more waypoints. Garry, you're right about procedures and routes being different in the past, but not about there being many more waypoints. There were actually far fewer waypoints - or 'reporting points' as they were called. This was partly...

You might add this little link to your collections as well, also a very good flight planning utility... Yes, I too find this site useful, Dan. Unfortunately, for the UK - can't speak for elsewhere - some of the routes it produces are not correct in r/w terms and it makes some very basic flight plan...
