August 10, 201114 yr Can anyone recommend a flight planning program (payware OR freeware), that can create a route between 2 (or more) airports including SIDS, STARS, airways, Transitions that I can input into FSX (primarily for PMDG's 737NGX) manually using the FMC, or by importing the flight plan into the plane from the flight planner.ThanksNick Nick Watson Lover of the Boeing 737-800NG "If it's not Boeing, I'm not going"
August 10, 201114 yr web based flight planner is: rfinder.asalink.net/free - worked well for my flights until I bought FSBuild - calculates Fuel, Takeoff speeds (sometimes), SIDS, STARS, Wind (in connection with ActiveSky) and so on and a very good freeware is PlanG - a freeware flight planning tool with many, many options. Just google for it. Kind regards, Erich.
August 10, 201114 yr Author Thanks, I'll take a look.It would be good if there was that one website of addon which would do everything in one! Nick Watson Lover of the Boeing 737-800NG "If it's not Boeing, I'm not going"

August 10, 201114 yr It's the new flight planner for FSX being developed by the folks behind TOPCAT I think. It does look quite promising. Though, the release date has been pushed from August 2011 to Christmas 2011.
August 10, 201114 yr Flightsim Commander is very good, i have no issues with version 9 http://www.fscommander.com/ Doesn't look as good as EFB waiting to see what pfpx is like. Ian R Tyldesley

I used EFB as a 30-day trial but having missed out on the Special Offer for the iFly737NGX release, I reverted to my Flight Sim Commander v.9 which does more or less everything that EFB did.If you are familiar with the now-defunct FSNavigator, this is more or less similar but a great deal better,IMHO. It gives you the info for which altitude you need to be at to intercept the G/S,all the Comms/Nav data for departure as well arrival airports and exports to many formats too. Rick Almeida
August 10, 201114 yr Commercial Member Care to expand? Cheers, - jahman.It's being made by real world dispatchers - I've seen some previews and it looks like it matches up very well with what airlines actually use to plan flights.

I have used it in the past, but FSC does what i want for the moment. I have been following pfpx with interest, i may well convert over once that comes out. Ian R Tyldesley
