January 20, 201115 yr From the makers of TOPCAT.Not just for FSX but for you FS9'ers as well http://www.pfpx.com/Looks like it will be a nice program. \Robert Hamlich/
January 20, 201115 yr Indeed looking very promessing, looking at TOPCAT which is at the top of proffessionalism almost can be used for real airplanes :( Arslan Nouar
January 20, 201115 yr It definitely looks very good and no doubt I'll buy it! Only slight "problem" is that I already use Vroute Pro which I love and has some very cool features for us VATSIMmers. Of course Vroute doesn't create routes, you choose among those in its database, and this softwares integration with TOPCAT also makes it even more tempting. How many pages will a full flight report create? The software should include some kind of "export PDF to ipad" feature! :D Krister LindénEFMA, Finland------------------
January 20, 201115 yr The market already seems to be saturated with very good flight/dispatch planners, but given that this will be to the same standard as TOPCAT, I guess I'll be picking it up. i7 2600k @ 5.1Ghz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz, EVGA GTX 580 @ 950MHz, OCZ Vertex II 240GB, ASUS Xonar DG, Thermaltake Toughpower XT 875W PSU, Antec KÜHLER 620 W/C, Corsair 600T SE White My FS9 Screens - http://fs9screens.blogspot.com/ Callum Richardson
January 20, 201115 yr The only think that will convince me to leave FSBuild behind, is if it gives better routes and exports to all the addons that FSBuild supports. Otherwise I see no good reason to purchase it. Right now, I have the luxury of clicking "generate route" and see the route appear for all addons I have, all in the correct folder.

January 20, 201115 yr Benjamin, I agree with you, if it won't really set up a better flight plan than even the default FSX planner (whose navaids are terribly outdated), I'd go ahead with FSBuild or Super Flight Planner instead, although it does sound appeasing enough to have myself get out of the well outdated SID/STARS of CGK/WIII.

Still disappointed about not being able to export flightplans in .rte2 format for PMDG. \Robert Hamlich/
January 20, 201115 yr As a TOPCAT user, I'll be keeping an eye on this. Gavin Barbara Over 10 years here and AVSIM is still my favourite FS site :-)

January 20, 201115 yr I don't know how PMDG rte2 differs from rte but here is from the export listing of the new 2.405 version of FSBuild is the PMDG export description.
