Light Flight planner rogram for use with Vattsim?

[beany_bot]

Im starting to get tired of using the default flight planner as I fly Vattsim now it just doesnt do a good enough job. I't either has silly way-points you wouldnt fly, too few, or too many. Is there a free, light flight planner avalible ideally that can somehow auto populate Vpilot?

Hello,

I am not sure what do you mean by "auto poulating Vpilot", but maybe http://vfrflight.org/ will be good for you?

Sorry I wasn't clear, you know how when you click "flight plan" on Vpilot you have to type in all the your speed, alitutude and all the waypoints manually. I was hoping there was a program that would do this for when you use it to create a flight plan. Not sure if there is though.

Any flight planner which exports to Vpilot or Squawkbox format can be used to load a FP into Vpilot.

If the planner you choose to use cannot export to these formats, there are free converters. For instance, using Plan-G, save to FS9 format, then use an FS9 to SB converter to get the plan into Vpilot.

 

Another way is to "pre-file" a FP onto the Vatsim Web Site. Vpilot will load this plan from the server using the "Fetch From Server" button.

 

I prefer FSINN myself. When I load a FP into FSX, FSINN loads the plan into its flight plan file dialog automatically. Many people find FSINN difficult to set up, but with some personal assistance from an experienced user, you can get faultless functionality from it and it has some tasty features not found on other Mult clients.
