Corsaire31 419 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 VfrFlight is a free tool for VFR flight planning developed by real world private pilot. It can be used for real world flight planning and trainings in FSX / FSX:SE / Prepar3D.It is under continuous development since October 2013. http://vfrflight.org/en/index.html I didn't try it yet, so no comments to add...

allardjd 1,853 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 It would have to be pretty good to be better than Plan-G. John Link to post Share on other sites
Gunner 69 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I was trying it for a while now ( i think that i started a topic with it or maybe i just wanted to do). It has some interesting thingies (like the 3d map), it's worth a try. Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,314 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 It has a couple of cool features (a few maps&some calculations) but also looks a bit clunky in some areas compared to PlanG IMO. Then again if I started with this one I probably wouldn't want to try PlanG because I'm used to it. One thing I do wish PlanG had was the ability to input a route string and build a plan off it. I'll wait and see what Matt thinks between the two before I try it out it would be nice to see a comparison review. Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't have an installer, it apparently runs from it's downloaded folder??? windows considers it an Untrusted application, and requires me to download and install Java Runtime Enviorment... Do I want this? Link to post Share on other sites

Tim_A 997 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 One thing I do wish PlanG had was the ability to input a route string and build a plan off it. It does. Bring up the Quick Plan window (the "Direct to" button) ant type / paste your route into the box. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
