IFR Flightplans package v4

Post by james84 »

Hello all,
I uploaded on Avsim a package with several flightplans (more than 200) to use with FS2004's default flightplan maker

Just copy the .pln files in your Documents/Flight Simulator Files and load them within the game. Choose an aircraft and a departure time and have fun!

Hmmm.. let's say yes and no. I usually fly wherever I like, but since early 2010 I'm flying from the very airport where I arrived every time so nthat I can explore the world. Just try to sort the pln files by latest modification, you'll see there is a continuity in the destinations.
I do like peculiar routes, and the latest I've flown is United 172 (aka Island Hopper, formerly flown by Continental Micronesia), which connects Guam to Honolulu with 5 intermediate stops in some of the most remote atolls and islands of the Pacific Ocean such as Kwajalein and Truk.
I tried to make the routes as much realistic as possible also referring on real data. For example, AZ785 (Tokyo to Rome), flown with a 777, has been taken from the actual flightplan used the day I flew it (I have a printed copy!). Of course, FS2004 is not up to date, so the routes are missing some waypoints, but definitely they are better than flying a straight line.
I also included a couple of "miitary-like" routes: a flight from Manchester (UK) to McGuire AFB and another hop from McGuire to Anchorage.
