Hi, I'm pretty new for flying out of the U.S.  I usually have used flightaware to find a route and get charts for the flight.  However, I would like to try flying in Europe and actually in other countries too, but  I have no idea where to find charts and get a route to fly.  So, how do you other simmers go about this?   Thanks very much.

Hey, there are two services I can recommend for routes out of the US.

 

http://www.vataware.com/

 

http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/

 

Also if you want a realistic dispatcher service, try http://www.simbrief.com

 

Simbrief essentially gets its routes from the services mentioned above and more. It also helps you with how much fuel you need for the flight, ETOPS planning, weather forecasts and etc.

 

 

As for charts

Will provide you the charts used for most of the airports within the United Kingdom.

 

I am not aware of a website that has up to date charts for countries other than the UK, but I'm sure somebody else here can help you with that.

Vataware no longer exists.
