I would really like to setup my own flight but...

I second getting FSBuild, its a little long in the tooth now but does the job very well. Can be a little sticky setting up sometimes but follow a tried and trusted method and no problems, it just gets on with the job in hand then. Its not expensive and you recoup the cost by using it for several different aircraft and new ones as they get released. I use mine to output a plan in the correct format for the NGX, my J41 and my 747 + my beloved Level D 767. At the same time it spits out a mirrored file in .pln format for FSX. This enables me to watch the plane follow the route in a free live mapping program called Plan G. I wasn`t good at Geography at school so this teaches me even at 52 years old, on top of being fun and I can use my laptop for the maps too.I can hit the Co Route button in the CDU and load it or type it in and add it manually. I view this stage as getting the flight plans from my Company Control Office. Errors and mistakes are rare but easilly fixed and its quite simple to use once set up correctly.Steve
