Looks good. Has this a moving map feature? 'It is better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.'

July 10, 20241 yr And at about the same time, Aerosoft announced they will discontinue their NavData by the end of the year. I wonder if there is a connection, they use Lido charts as well. Peter

Their website (not simbrief)/ app / plugin has lots of lots of great features, and they get updated frequently. its more the other way, when aviaplanner gets more features, you can bet that they are increasing prices.
July 10, 20241 yr I will use this in addition to Navigraph. Many airlines in Europe (Lufthansa, KLM, easyJet, SAS, etc.) use LIDO charts rather than Jeppesen or Navtech. So it's more realistic to use these.

A new flight planner, NavData and LIDO chart provider is getting underway with their offering: https://www.aviaplanner.com/ 3-day trial for free. A monthly sub at $3.50 or $29 for the year. "[Functionality] sections marked with an asterisk are under development and will be available in the next 1-2 months." Perhaps anyone who doesn't like Navigraph's cost could try this provider and report back? Credit to @carlanthony24 for mentioning this over on a FSElite comment section. Welcome I have till November then I will give them a go.

I think pitching it as a competitor to NG is dooming it to failure. But as an extra option for a budget price to use alongside NG it would provide some real world authenticity. Take those European Fenix flyers out of their comfort zone flying Lufthansa for a start! Although importing a simbrief/ng route and holding a Lido chart will keep you on your feet for sure!
