PIC Flyers.. What do you think of this service? I've been using it for a while but never seen anybody comment about it. I'm no real pilot so I don't know if what's available there is really useful for planning. Do this, go to:http://www.simradar.comCheck the square image on your left, under SPN Access. Click on it. No need to register, there's a demo account listed there.What's missing to make it a useful flight planning tool?

Wow. I'd never seen the flight planning section of that site before. I looked through it and I'm highly impressed. Planning, charts, all in one place. Beats any other software I've tried. Thanks for passing it along.

You never saw the flight planning section because there was not an easy, direct link to it on the main site. The SPN was accesible only inside the Flight Simulator Kneeboard by using the spnv2.zip utility found on the avsim library, however a lot of people complained that they actually used it more OUTSIDE of FS2004 than inside. After all, you plan, print charts and annotate things BEFORE departing and BEFORE starting a flight simulator session (in my case I use load & balance applications, so I annotate weigth to later enter it on the FMC), once your start your flightsim session and access the SPN through the kneeboard your notes and everything you entered via the browser while pre-planning will be there, so the SPN can be used for Flight Pre-Planning , during flight and AFTER your finish your flight, and if your are on VATSIM and the controller gives you a DP you are not familiar with you can quickly check the charts right from the kneeboard. The kneeboard option only works on FS2004, but that will not be a problem for PICv2 beta testers, right?

Have you looked at www.fltplan.com ??Regards,JackKGSP

Flitplan.com is the one I use all the time. I think it's the best. IMHO.

I totally agree with you.Regards,JackKGSP
