Hiya folks, I am looking on a good piece of Flightplanning software, payware or something, I prefer something they use in real life (somebody knows?). This is because I am planning (without software ) to study about flightplanning and create soms awsome flightplanes, just as in real life. Somebody who knows a program?

Hi,There are plenty of real-world flight planners, but only few of them are available for private use. Probably the three best planners are Lido, Jeppesen Flightmap and RODOS.I've worked with Lido for some time, and I'm still impressed of its great performance, but unfortunately this software is only available for aircraft operators. I believe the same goes for RODOS, which seems to be great software too. To be honest, I don't really like Jeppesen Flightmap. I've seen it in action a few times, but the performance and accuracy was not what I expected it to be - but that's just my personal opinion, and Jeppesen might have changed the software in the meantime.I think the only option to make an affordable flightplan for simulator use that comes close to a real one, is by using PMFlightplanner (www.pmflightplanner.com) and checking it (or at least the plans through European airspace) with Eurocontrol's IFPUV: http://www.cfmu.eurocontrol.be/chmi_public...sp?serv1=ifpuvsPerhaps you want to read some of the other posts in the forum about flight planning software:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...=3902&mode=fullhttp://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...=2657&mode=fullhttp://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...=2285&mode=fullhttp://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...d=477&mode=fullHope this helps. :)Cheers,http://home.planet.nl/~duijn181/cu2/koen.jpg
