Best Flight Planning software/website

[airwolfe 1]

What are some of the best websites/software packages for creating an IFR flight plan ? I just want to type in my departure and destination airports and then be able to piece together a plan including all SIDs / STARs / airways / etc

I saw this one, but was confused about the 'cycles' ... which cycle should I use with the PMDG FMC ? Thanks !

I use my laptop on the side of my desktop, the laptop has an app that overlays google earth with high alt mid, and sectional charts,, for the USA and Alaska Really great for the NGX if you do lots of IFR! =) http://www.gelib.com/high-altitude-enroute-charts.htm

I don't think there's a be-all end-all solution to everything... if there is someone please educate me... I get my plans using some combination of the following: Find RW flight plans and lots of other cool stuff: FlightAwareGenerate your own plan, or any route between two waypoints: RouteFinderTake plans and turn them into FS plans or build them from scratch yourself: FSBuildFuel, load, and takeoff/landing data: TOPCATCurrent AIRAC cycle (and lots of charts): NavigraphFree charts: AirNavEven more charts: Google it

11 - It's 201108 - It's August. That's generally how that works. It will stay 1108 forever unless you update it with new cycles from Navigraph.

Use the "Go to Airport..." feature and it warps you directly to the destination almost instantly.

So how does that generate a flightplan?
