After seeing a link at Avsim, I've been checking out a
freeware program called "Virtual Dispatch" which can be downloaded from
THIS WEBSITE and which allows you to easily create realistic flightplans with weather and airport briefings and then export the created flightplan etc. It's a public beta at this time so not all planned features are available but for those who like realism when planning their flights, I'd say this is a real winner.
I've done a few screen captures below so you can see what I mean, it's customizable for your airline so in our case it took me about 5 minutes to create an EHM icon that appears on the flightplans and also you can create EuroHarmony VA as your company and save it so you don't have to re-enter the relevant fields every flight.
There are also links to route planning sites such as my own favourite,
RouteFinder so that you can create your routing nice and easily.
All in all, one that I think will please almost anybody who hasn't already bought a flight planning utility
