Hi my names phil, and I have a question about the routes.

How to we use the routes? I have all the route, but i don't know how to use them? Is there maybee a special program for route planning?

I use FSCommander 8.5. It's a little pricey but FSNavigator is getting old and it's not supported anymore. You can check out FSCommander at FSCommander 8.5 it's very good. :thumbsup:

Cal, does it save you work on entering flight plans?

Right now I can import the flight in FSacars from the home site, that's cool. But I have to enter the FP in FS-X and then it gets imported into FSinn where I can send it to the tower. Can FSC import from FSacars or do I still have to do that manual entry myself?

Probably have to do it yourself as I have not found and connection to do it automatically, I usually just put the waypoints in my GPS as I fly from on to the other that way if ATC changes my route I can make a change immediately or fly hearings they give me .

I get the feeling that Philip is talking about the scheduled routes. If that is the case, we use them to autoload a route into FSAcars and so that the flight appears on the Live Map.

I like to use simroutes.com you basically plug in the Code of the starting airport (ex. CYUL is Pierre Elliot Trudeau International airport) And you press search for a flight plan, I like it if the route code matches the route code on the details page of the the flight your flying, and save it according to which version of Flight simulator you have. (its a drop down menu beside the save option) Then once im set the free flight with proper time and airport, and in the air, I contact the center and load my flight plan, upon doing so you'll be asked to verify it and stuff with a squak code and then u'l lbe getting ATC instructions of where to fly ^^ idk if this is the proper way but it works just fine for me!

You can do as Matt said if you like - I did for years bofore we got scheduled flights that work with FSAcars. Just remember that you'll have to plug your own route data into FSAcars in order to get credit for the flight with CVA.
