Trying to find and follow the airways is a very tedious and time consuming process.So even though FSNav very nicely displays airways etc in its map view, they are pretty much useless for flight planning.>To be honest I like the look of the new version of FSBuild, and if I >was convinced of its ability to auto generate a reasonable route for >UK/Europe, albeit with minor modifications, I would probably use it >more than FSNav.Well..it may not be for you then. I placed more emphasis on giving the pilot a way to plot his own route rather than having the program generate it for him.I tend to have a different design philosopy than some of the others in this area.Regards.Ernie.
