I am also starting to try my hand at visual navigation with Orbx True Earth instead of relying on VOR's and ADF's unless I really get lost!!!

One thing that I found was missing is a speed/distance and time calculator, my maths is not brilliant and I don't own a flight calculator to plan my routes but found the next best thing and wonder whether it may be handy for others here, it is free to use but one sticking point is that you still have to take into account wind, don't know whether any-one here knows of a utility that can be used for wind deviation? I am using Little Navmap which is extremely good flight planner and found a way round to plan a route and distance by instead of selecting a departure airfield as you would normally and plan a triangular route back to the same airfield (which for some reason you cannot do with Little Navmap) I have found a way to do it and give the distance and heading from one point to another. Right click on the mouse and select Measure Distance from XXX Airport then click on the first turning point say a town and that gives the first segment of your flight in distance then repeat the same for the next turning point so you can do a triangle navigation sortie departing and arriving back at the same airfield. Certainly makes it more fun to try it out and monitor how well or bad you do!!

It can be done in mph or knots.
