Why a good flight planner is important

And this is why you shouldn't use some free, sketchy-a** online flight planner for your long haul flights...

Long ago in FSX or FS9 I no longer recall I used the built flight planner to go from Kenya to Sydney, Australia. The route took me up thru Rome and then around to YSSY. I go, "Oh yeah, we'll give this one a try!". I reentered it a second time, and got a more reasonable routing.

I literally went and bought Navigraph data and exported it to SimBrief, a MUCH more reasonable (and still free, well somewhat) flight planner. PFPX was too expensive for some virtual flying.

That web site must be owned by a company that sells simulated jet fuel.

Maybe...that or existing customers with SLI setups can use the second card to mine while they fly since the sims don't really take full advantage of SLI yet... :P
