May 19, 201214 yr Hi all What flightplanner do you guys use/recommend? I use V-Route and have done for a few years but i'd like something with a bit more depth when it comes to choosing sids/stars. So what's out there and what do you guys recommend? Cheers everyone Chris Howard
May 19, 201214 yr Hello I use and recommend FSCommander, allows you to load the weather into the planner to help you determine landing runway then visually select Sid , Star and transitions.

May 19, 201214 yr I will be using PFPX when it comes out! For now I use Plan-G for VFR, Topcat for TO and fuel calcs and Aivlasoft EFB to build IFR plans. Cheers! Iain
May 19, 201214 yr Can you optimize routes for winds ? Hello You know it can't , that's exactly why you asked. But what other Planner can lay out SIDS/Stars visually , detect VFR airspace violations , act as a moving map ect. Not wishing to get into a pi****g contest over a flight planner though, use whatever you fancy. cheers
May 19, 201214 yr Moderator Hi, My choice is FSBuild. http://www.fsbuild.com/ Same here. Have it installed on my networked computer and then import the flight plan in to AS2012 and am all set to go. Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
May 20, 201214 yr Author Ok cheers chaps Im looking into FSBuild and commander, just looking through the features list of both progs before i take the plunge. Chris Howard
May 20, 201214 yr FS Commander for me too. I do also have FSBuild, and liked it for ages, but for me, FSC definitely has the edge. Windows 10 (x64) - X-Plane 11 - M/B: Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero - CPU: i7 7700k (@5.0GHz) - RAM: 32Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 @ 3200MHz - Video: GTX1080ti - Cooling: Custom water loop (EK 140 Revo D5 pump/res combo, EK EVO CPU block, EK XE360 Rad)
May 20, 201214 yr Ok cheers chaps Im looking into FSBuild and commander, just looking through the features list of both progs before i take the plunge. If you can wait, why not see how PFPX pans out - currently slated for a release late summer... Cheers! Iain
May 20, 201214 yr Author Hahaha!! Dont know what one to go for! I may do what you said Iain and wait to see how PFPX turns out, im not in any major rush. Chris Howard
May 20, 201214 yr Fsbuild (and yes, I do also have fs commander), Topcat and Aivlasoft EFB (which by the way makes fs commander look very childish when it comes to Sid and Star selection.
