SurClaro Flight Simulator Resources

Hello, I would like to know if there is any program that lets you create some flightplans automatically without doing the job yourself plane by plane, cause i have a bunch of aircrafts (some200 or 300 ) and would like to use them all but how can I do it without selecting each one and assigning a flight for it? Thanks

I use Abacus Co Pilot ($30)... It is good for the world. You load the region files (from an easy menu) for the flight plan. Each plane can be loaded with the gauge that loads and controls the flight plan...

I make a flight plan that will takeoff (you have to set altitude) from Valdez AK , fly down the Fjord with twist and turns between mountians to the open sea. All planes with the gauge can use it... Very handy in fog (common in AK).

The program has a neat plotter and map with the fixes, airports, radials, ect. Plus you can make your own waypoints...
Airports has local info such as ILS GPS/DME approaches... The guage flys the plane, shows distance to waypoint and next waypoint name. The guage has many handy features....

The plotter is easy to use with snap feature... It also has a "fast" plotter that will quickly set up a plan.... Then you save the plan exit the program and your fp will appear on the airplane gauge to be selected.. You can run the copilot along with FS but is a bit tricky....

I use it to set a course that will make an easy approach to the runway. The approach to Skagway AK( sea level) is very difficult if you approach across the 5000ft mountians that surround the airport.

So you plot a course to approach from the narrow fjord at 1500ft... You have to do a quick right turn to land, no biggie.....

Some of the bigger airports I plot a plan to make an approach to the runway and if it is fogged in I switch to the GPS(20 miles out) approach for an ILS landing.

Excellent program....

Here is a tutorial for FS2002. I did not read the whole tutorial. However, it may contain something that will help you. Cool

Yep, I was talking about AI Flight Plans, I have already created for myself the way it was on the tutorial but I was thinking about some program that could do it randomly no mater what airport or plane and i have the planes and would like to use them all..
thanks
