Remember that flight planning is not a plug-and-play action, you do need to do some work first! I actually enjoy this element of flight simming.īut for getting started you ought to have installed Little Navmap (free) and SimBrief (also free). This is for PC - if you’re an X-Boxer I’m not sure if it would be the same. If you want something a bit more basic (it’s also good practice so you will learn for the future) try the following which I’ve found very easy to do. Thanks to anyone reading all of that and let me know if I’m asking the wrong questions I’ve tried to find real life routes for ages but came up with nothing, how can I know where they used to fly so I could recreate routes like they used to be? How do I know where I’m supposed to start my flight (Parking) and where I’m supposed to shut down?Īnd lastly, basically the same as actual airlines, but the old ones which flew the A310, Bae146, MD80, the upcoming Fokker F28. If I have get a simple x > y destination how do I plan the actual route, altitudes and such? If so, where can I get real life routes for a company?

Next, let’s say I want to fly an actual airliner, as far as destinations go it’s pretty much set in stone by the company right? How am I going to plan the routes and altitudes for that scenario if I only know about my departure and arrival?

Now, let’s say I want to fly a private jet, not exactly commercial but you’re not going to fly a CJ4 VFR right? How would you plan that as realistically as possible? So, let’s say I’ve got a plane (Non commercial ones such as the C152, DA62, DHC-2, etc) I want to fly VFR with no particular destination in mind, or a flight from one airport to another. I’m going to ask about a few instances that aren’t exactly connected to one another, and it’s going to be about how these things work in real life and in sim. Hey everyone, this is going to be a long one so bear with me
