Hi;
I need your help/advice in purchasing a good Flight Planner for my needs. I have the following Payware Aircrafts.
1. Quality Wings 757. Which I love and fly all the time since I can use the default FSX Flight planner. Easy, no SIDS and STARS to deal with and “out of date” Date Bases.
2. PMDG (B737 NG & B474) which I seldom fly, since I can't use the default FSX Flight planner. It's a shame since they are both fantastic aircrafts to fly.
3. I am also looking to purchase the iFLY 747 V2 that just came out.
I like setting up the FMC, Pre Take Off, Cruise and Landing settings. I just don't like entering Sids and Stars which in my opinion is a waste of time, that's what Flight Ops are for.
I looked up FPPX and it seems to be an all-round planner and would support all of the aircrafts I have and the new iFLY. I don't mind the price; it might be an over kill for what I want to do but it seems more complete than the others. I may be wrong, that’s why I am reaching out.
It also seems to support exporting flight plans to the MS FSX format. The reason I think that would be great is I would also like to continue using FSX ATC for departure clearance and landing. So if my flight plan is tied to FSX I can use it for that.
Please let me know your thoughts and comments, especially from individuals who have used FPPX or any other products that would support what I am looking for.
Thanks very much.
Kindest Regards.
F.
