| Route Planning ?!? | |
Claudio Pais   6th Feb 2011 14:20:32 | Hey! first time poster on here, but you guys are great so I thought I'd ask.
I am relatively new to sim flying in UK airspace, and I was wondering if there were any good route planning websites, where you could enter a route e.g EGCC-EGKK and it would give you a realistic route. a bit like simroutes.com for the US, but for the brits ;) Thanks :) Claudio. |
Geoff Server   6th Feb 2011 14:31:13 | Just use the FSopen pilot assist software flight planner and it will in most cases give you a route to feed into your GPS or FMC. That is the easy way or you could go to..

Depending on your preference these are the best two options! Combine it with a sensible fuel planner such as: http://fuel.aerotexas.com/ and you've got a realistic (and quick!) route plan. |
Joe Lewis  6th Feb 2011 17:08:31 | If you're using one of the proper planes (PMDG, LDS), they come with a fuel planning table/guide, optimum cruising speed and altitude guide/tables.
Is how the real airline pilots do it to my knowledge! (G/A doesn't count! You just top 'er up until you feel it's enough, LOL) |
| Claudio Pais 7th Feb 2011 17:51:57 | Hey!
Thanks for the great responses, they helped me a lot. The link that Geoff Server posted is very useful but of course, could've used the integrated route finder :/ ooppps. Fuel planning is not normally an issue for me, but has to be said having realistic fuel quantities adds loadsa realism. Claudio. |
