For me the FSC8.6 is very useful  ;)

Since the Wild PP event is going VFR, I'd just like to mention Plan-G, which is a good VFR planning tool and also a great 'moving map / GPS' that uses the data from FS (9 or X) itself overlayed on Google maps.


--- Quote ---FEATURES
Google Maps interface for rich topographical and satellite detail
Shows airspace, airports and navaids on the map (from Flight Sim data)
Configurable levels of detail (objects displayed) for each zoom setting
Vertical Route (requires additional DEM download)
Fully editable plans can be saved in FSX or FS9 format
Existing FS plans can be loaded
Reverse flight plan at the click of the mouse
Print map and Pilot’s Log (PLOG)
Customisable database of user waypoints, Visual Reference Points (VRPs), airstrips etc. Additional User Waypoint comma separated text files can be imported.
Connects to FSX or FS9
Aircraft telemetry, aircraft flight trails, traffic, weather etc available when connected to FSX or FS9
Saved flight trails can be displayed for later analysis
Configurable Range Rings can show distance or flight time
Can be run on a second monitor or on a networked PC.

That sounds like a great tool Ragnar, thanks for sharing the details. I've edited your post just to make the hyperlink more obvious (as I didn't realise there was one at first!)

EHM-0654 Murray:
Ragnar, great looking tool. Only thing I can't figure out is how to make a flight plan with it. ;D

EHM-0975 Ragnar:
Sorry, missed this for a few days - if you haven't figured it out yet - or for others - after importing your data from FS, find the airport you are starting from and right-click on the airport to 'start flightplan at...', then right-click on your waypoints (or add own waypoints). Took me a while too to find that.  :)

I often - when planning VFR - add the the start and finish airports first to get the bearings and then use the edit mode to drag the little square on the middle of the plan line to the waypoints.
