New video on planning

 

 

I guess interesting to see the planner but I thought Froogle was getting way too complex for his target audience of new simmers.

agree

Froogle has a habit of doing that. He does some amazing content though if you can stick with it!

I didn't have time to watch the whole thing, but did he (or someone else for that matter) showcase how to import FP from 3rd parties like simbrief?

I watched it a few hours ago but I don't recall that coming up.

This (and other videos) clearly show a "SPACE Load/Save" command in the planning screen, but I've seen nobody using or mentioning it..

I think that's the wrong way to look at it, MFS is not importing (just as FSX didn't), it is the third party tools that are exporting to MFS format.

Well, where can you look up that export so you can use it without manually inputting the route? Glad there is a load button, but strange that nobody has featured it yet?

Not only too complex in a scant few minutes, but the speed of his speech and speed at which his presentation moves along will be mind boggling to a beginner.  I tried to keep up with how he was changing the options in the planner and had to loop back several times.  And I need no instruction on flight planning.....  Just the operation of the planner in the sim...

No. He did not cover that at all.  I am also interested in that capability as I tie myself closely to Fltplan.com and its Fltplan Go app for my iPad.

He mentions it in his video, you can share the Flight Plans with friends so you create it, pass it on to them, meet up at the Airport and you'll all have the same Flight Plan in your separate planes.
