looking for flight planner that does it all

[briansommers 74]

I want a flight planner that does IFR but everything automatically

especially being able to choose the DP and STAR

Check out Simbrief, https://www.simbrief.com/home/ , it's excellent.

Simbrief is fantastic. In fact every few months I send them a donation.

Simbrief!

I prefer PFPX.

I have used Simbrief and like it a lot. However, it is not as tweakable as PFPX. In PFPX, there are custom performance files for the majority of add on a/c (primarily airliners, but a few GA types as well). Plus you can manually set virtually every item in the a/c parameters, route, etc. 

PFPX is payware, Simbrief is freeware. Can't go wrong with either.

I'll vote for Simbrief as well. That being said, Littlenavmap is also quite good. 

I use both of them in conjunction with Flightaware for every flight.

I use simbrief every flight..it’s great!

I use Little Navmap and am very ok with it.

 

What would be the advantage of Simbrief over Little Navmap? Any substantial features that would justify to switch?

with Topcat ...... though the aircraft supported (by Topcat) is limited.

The flightplanner in Pilot2ATC does a really good job at automatically assigning sids and stars and even has integrated weather engine support.

PFPX has my vote. Also enjoy littlenavmap.

I used PFPX for a while but found it just too complex for me. Now on LittleNavmap, which I like a lot and it's free.

I use Simbrief to generate a flight plan and Little Nav Map to choose the SID and STAR and follow on the moving map. LNM is also great for airport taxi diagram and finding gates.
