Which Flight Plannner is the Best ?

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

First, FSUIPC is a must. It is used especially, by multi-player including
VATSIM and others.

Most planes use at least one of its features. At this point in time, most
planes include a TCAS or other highly detailed gauge that has to connect to
FSUIPC for its information. I have always used FSUIPC as freeware.

Flight plans: Has always been a sore spot. FSNavigator is the best there
is. Try it for free from the download for a limited number of uses.
FSBuild is OK, I just started using it and its the freeware version. Not
sure of what the payware version has thats different. I use FSACARS for a
Virtual Airline and I have to plan my flights so I can use the freeware
without problems. Not as good as FSNAV but its OK. Cant complain, its
free. LOL...............
