Hello,
I'm thinking about buying a good flight planner for FSX. But I want something not over extreme in complexity, where I don't have to spend 50 minutes to preflight. I understand that's part of simulation but I can't do that every time. Also I mainly fly the PMDG MD-11 Cargo verison. I use to just use the free simroutes web site to get my rte flight plan files for the MD-11 but that site as not been working at all. I liked it because it was simple but it doesn't work anymore for PMDG.
I have REX but that program's flight planner does not covert to rte files.
FS build from I have seen is old and my not work with my Windows 7-64bit computer or the MD-11. I can get the PFPX + TOPCAT Bundle but I'm very worried about getting overwhelmed by them.
I'm also very very worried that FS build and Professional Flight Planner X are programs that must be running while FSX is running too. Having to run REX for it's weather and a huge flight planner program at the same time could hurt my FSX performance big time.
So I'm looking for some input on what route I should take. The big selling points for me will be if it works with the PMDG MD-11 and doesn't have to run alongside FSX
Thank you for any replies best regards.
