Hello everyone,
Just purchased CS 777 and I'm looking for a good flight planner that I can use to make flight plans and save them into the Fmc with SIDS and stars as we'll.Any thoughts on this I already had few sugestions in the other post that I unintentionally invaded sorry Rob.
Thanks. Smiley

I think I've used it before, but I don't think it gave me the SIDS and STARS, I still had to find them using charts and some charts are hard to find.

The best one - free on line, drag/drop routes, links to airports/all IFR SIDs & STARS etc.

Play with it a little and fall in love!

It works, but not 100%, as I said in my reply here: http://captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1362052523/123#123.

I don't know if they are still working on it. For that answer, you'll have to ask the devs themselves. Wink

I no idea on how to do the templates, but seeing as I only use the flight planning part of PFPX, and nothing else, then it not having templates is not a problem for me. Undecided

That also applies to PFPX flight plans. In fact any flight planner program tha saves a flight plan in *FSX Flight Planner format is capable of being loaded into the CS777 (and 757/767) CDU/FMC. But you still need to enter the departure runway (SID) and the arrival runway (STAR/TRANS). Wink

*FlightSimCommander X does not save in FSX Flight Planner format, but saves in FS9 (FS2004) Flight Planner format, so it cannot be loaded into the 777 CDU/FMC!

Just be aware that the latest version of Flight Sim Commander 9 is v9.5.1, not FSC X v8.6 (FSCX came before FSC9), and it does save the flight plans in the FSX Flight Planner format! I use it a lot for creating flight plans for the CS L-1011, where a SID/STAR is not required for their INS (although I often add them manually in FSC9.5.1).

Yep I use FSC9 and it works perfectly. (It even has a fs2004 version free)

I refuse to use (or buy) PFPX while they continue to ignore tier one addon developers.
Certain companies are attempting to monopolise FSX.
