I am looking for a really good flight planning software. Which would you recommend, (I understand that there are several other components that each planner has, the FMC, weather, etc. I am not interested in any of that, I plan to purely use the flight planning component) The main differences that I can see so far on the flight planning side are that FS Nav has a complete SID/STARS database and Flight Sim Commander doesn't. It also seems that Flight Sim Commander has a database with airports diagrams and maps, while FS Nav doesn't have that. Thanks for your help!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Rich,is appeared on several FS2004 pages that their new sim has a complete SID/STAR database available for the new default GPS, and I've seen a screenshot of the new MAP mode with added information as found on a sectional. Would it be the solution you are looking after?Hope this helps!

I personally don't think your search would be complete unless you consider FSBUILD 2.0http://www.fsbuild.com/If you are looking for a standalone flight planner .... this is it, built on the monthly AIRAC cycles with a huge amount of SID/STARS ...Give it a look, you'll be glad you did.
