Thanks for the feedback. It doesn't have IFR/VFR, but does let you pick available approach systems - ALS, ILS, etc. For the screen size, it should work well with your browsers zoom function so you can adjust as needed and it will scale as needed. Also has a light mode which may be easier on the eyes if you prefer.

Hey everyone, I've been working on a free web tool called SimLetsFly and wanted to share it here for some feedback. The idea is simple — it's a random flight generator for sim pilots. You set your criteria (location, distance, airport size, runway type, fuel, nav aids) and it finds you a random departure and arrival pairing you'd never think to plan yourself. Great for bush flying, airline ops, GA — whatever you fly. SimLetsFly is not a full flight planner — once you have your airports, use your simulator or preferred tools to plan the actual route (VFR/IFR, SID/STAR, etc). Think of it as your destination picker. What it does: Filters by continent/country/region, airport type, runway surface, length, fuel, and nav aids (ILS/VASI/ALS) Pulls live METAR weather for both airports with a plain-English decoder Shows distance, bearing, and estimated flight time based on your cruise speed Route map with departure and arrival plotted Copy a full flight brief to clipboard Free account features: Save flights to your own logbook Rate your flights across 8 categories (takeoff, landing, procedures, ATC, scenery, etc.) Add pilot notes and mark flights as completed Share any flight via a public link — anyone can open it and save it to their own account Pin your home airports as favorites It works in the browser, no install needed. Check out the "Help" button for more information located on the site. (Feedback button is also on the help page) 👉 simletsfly.com Would love to hear what you think — bugs, feature ideas, anything. Still early but it's fully functional. Thanks!

In the past I purchased add-on's from PMDG and A2A. Love 'em. Really wanting a business jet compatible with FSX:SE I recently bought the S550 Citation II from Carenado... Think I made a mistake... Some observations... - It doesn't seem much better then a default aircraft. It felt like I was on rails. Is this jet really that smooth and tame in the air? - It's a frame rate killer on the ground. I hope with some tweaking I can make it more usable. Have other people noticed this? - The cockpit textures look pretty good but why is the dash text so hard to make out on switches? It seems I have to zoom in on everything to read it. - On other add-on planes you can click a display/mfd and it brings up a zoomed in 2d panel. I guess Carendo doesn't support this feature? - How do you set the plane to start cold and dark? It starts up in all kinds of strange states, sometimes rolling forward into other parked planes. This seems like a basic feature. - Does the actual S550 plane require so much throttle on the ground to get rolling? I found taxiing to be quite difficult with this jet. - Did they really just include some scanned checklists in a PDF for the manual?! - To get a decent FMC it's an add-on and more money?! So far, I'm pretty disappointed with my purchase and the price. I know add-on's aren't cheap and it's a small market, but $45 for this plane is pretty steep compared to other planes I have purchased. Anyway, I guess this was just venting but if anyone has any tips/suggestions on improving this add-on I'd appreciate it.
