Flight Planning

Featured Replies

So i have FTX (entire Country) REX 2.0 Radar Contact PMDG j41 RealAir Beech Duke. Now I want to start flying in FSX in Australia, but I have a few problems. I want a flight planner to auto-generate routes for me that I can fly. I also would like a "nav Log" that shows fuel burns ETA's etc. I use FS Build (which is awesome), but u need "profiles" of the aircraft to do this. Is there a flight planner that will read the performance files of the planes I have installed in FSX>

There are no 'perfomance files'... that's the primary problem.
exactly, which is why I can't use FS Build, but is there something that reads the .AIR file, like the FSX stock planner does.J T COLLINS

The .air file isn't the same thing as a performance file. While it does cause the aircraft to perform in FS... it doesn't contain the same type of data you seek.Like I said... there isn't a file like that... unless you make your own.

Why not use the default FSX flight planner? It does all the things you asked for, unless you want more advance things. Most of the routes it generates are valid in real life, or you can go to www.simroutes.net to find real world routes if they suit you. The default FSX flight plans also have a navlog tailored to your plane, and most of the time the fuel burn other things are pretty close. Infact, the kneeboard shows you the estimated fuel burn, actual fuel burn after the leg, estimated time of arrival, actual time of arrival, estimated ground speed, actual ground speed, and other info, such as estimated total fuel burn, ETE, heading, etc. To bring up the kneeboard with navlog press "SHIFT + F10" :(
