It's an old & often-asked question, and I realize the topic has been addressed in this forum before, but the posts were either old (thus might not take into account newer programs) or didn't apply to me and my specific flying preferences. So alas, I'll ask it again and hope you don't mind if it's a redundant question: What flight planning do you recommend? Things to keep in mind: I'm a newbie and am still learning a lot of the basics of flight. I'm a GA flyer -- and frankly I don't see that changing anytime soon. I fly mostly in North America, primarily within Orbx FTX regions, and mainly into & out of small/medium sized airports. I do a mix of VFR and some IFR flying. At the moment, I'm using Air Hauler and FsPassengers as my career software, but that might change. (Btw, neither AH nor FsP have flight planning tools, not do they don't care how you plan/schedule flights.) I do not belong to a virtual airline. I do not have a weather addon (yet), and I'd like not to be bound only to live, real-world weather conditions. And did I mention I'm a newbie? Lastly, yes, I've heard that PFPX is super robust, and there's nothing that comes close, and it's amazing, etc, etc. But it's a tad pricey, and as a GA flyer I'm not sure if I need something like that which seems to be oriented more towards the heavies. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Cheers!
