I mostly fly short-haul (60-90 min) cargo flights (using AirHauler) and have a number of 'companies' set up so I can fly in different regions and different eras. So far it's all GA, rarely over 10,000' and 'dead reckoning'. My flight planning involves a token glance at fuel levels and then mostly looking out the windscreen to avoid the bigger 'bumps' in the landscape.

I'm slowly working towards more system-detailed models to add more complexity to the actual flying, but I'm thinking I should start taking the flight planning a little more seriously too.

I think PFPX would be overkill at this point, but something like Ideal Flight, or maybe Flightsim Commander might be what I'm after. Any recommendations or advice gratefully received!

Plan-G and Skyvector.com are right up your alley.
