Hey guys Im fairly new to FSX and was wondering if there is a web sit that folks put up there flight plans? Also what program exists to make flight plans that has airways , waypoints and sids ect. I have hard time finding app stars and dip sids on line and my arr route on my ND looks like a maze. Im not a pilot but love flying. Thanks for the help

I use Vroute www.vroute.info I use the premium. very useful, and you can export it directly to your FMS

looks good but will make co routs for 737 ngx?

you could go to Flight Aware and search for routes between two destinations. and pull up the route that way. and then copy the route and generate it using simroutes.com and download it. Unfortunately some routes are not published on Flight Aware though.

next question is how do you get good arr and dep charts online.and how do you get co routes to work on 737 ngx

For all US charts, www.airnav.com

US: www.airnav.com then airportsOthers: try using their Vatsim equivalents (www.vateud.net for europe, and then go to specific country, airport and charts)

Your planner should make at least two files (at least that's what Flight Sim Commander does), one .flt for MSFSX to use and .rte files that you have saved for different aircraft. I usually have FSC save them for PMDG and Level-D, so if I ever want to fly another ac on the same route, it's there. You have to insure that the .rte file is saved into your (flight sim dir)/PMDG/Flightplans/NGX

thanks again for all the help guy I now figured it out and just did a flight from Vancouver to edmonton.Just got to figure out the auto land but it will come

If you do the Tutorial that came with NGX you'll master the autoland. (EGKK - EHAM). That's how I learned it. It's much easier than you can imagine.

US Charts - www.myairplane.com Canadian Charts - You need to go through the Vatsim FIR's www.vatcan.org Europe Charts - Most published online. Try Vatsim again www.vateur.org Rest of the world you can also try their Vatsim FIR sites, they almost always have charts and other information. Mark.

regarding European Charts: best solution is to open a free acount at Eurocontrol for EAD Basic and you will have access to all official charts and AIP for all European airports!

I use FlightAware most of the time. I check the usual flights I want to run,and then click on the individual flight, and you can see the route.At the right of the plan, you can click "decode" and most will give you amore detailed plan. I copy those down and then punch them into the plane.I do all mine manually. I've never tried using the converter programs.You can also get most SIDS/STARS charts there.You can get high altitude enroute charts, and others at the FAA site.http://aeronav.faa.gov/index.asp?xml=aeronav/applicationsYou can pull em up here too.http://skyvector.com/I have a whole set of high/low enroute charts, terminal books, etc, etc..But they are all old now and seriously out of date. So if I need to see an enroute chart, I usually check it online.Many I've downloaded. Need to print some out, but my printer isout of ink. :( I don't like switching from full view to look at achart or plan, so if I think I'll need one, I'll snap a picture of it with mycamera, and then later I can look at it on the camera screen whileflying. :/Much quicker than writing them all down if you are doing a crosscountry flight with a plan that has a half zillion waypoints..Even with the 3 inch LCD on the camera, I can read the text just fine.
