Flight Planning
Heeeellllllllllllpppp!
I use Route Finder for my route planning, and have just found it is down until the middle of next week. Does anyone know another good freeware flight planner?

Re: Flight Planning
Nice one Tony but exactly how accurate is the AA routefinder
We've all used it at some point and thought 'what a load of blx'
Sri Nigel.. I'm a died in the wool FSNav user and sadly.. this is no longer available for purchase
FSC.. FlightSim Commander is available as shareware and works for both FS9 and FSX but I find it akin to having teeth pulled without anaesthetic to use

Re: Flight Planning
Most folk who end up in Streatley using Satnav are generally looking for somewhere else. I think there must be some local phenomena that distorts the time-space continuum so try using a map as paper isn't affected

Re: Flight Planning
Thanks for the link Tom. But it's VFR and I'm looking for something IFR.
Guess it's back to the old ways. Charts, pen, paper, ETC

Re: Flight Planning
As usual, this type of post intrigues me so I looked up my navaid bookmarks.
Some are clearly now out of date but I followed one through to its new location:
http://www.vroute.net/mos/Frontpage/Itemid,1/
The free version seems to be worth a further look (need to register).

Hiya Eric
It might be lurking on one of the many torrents mate but I don't think it's for sale anymore. Simmarket kept it available but it's even gone from there now. Shame as I'd have liked to have seen it move to FSX. I might have followed it had that happened
