Is it true that filing a flight plan on Vpilot will be disabled soon, and if so why? Takes away from the convenience, that Vatsim pre file page is a nussicence.

Yeah, it's true. The reasons are given here:

In addition to the reasons given there, it is also because we really need to get rid of the old FAA-style form and move to an ICAO form, and there's no point in me building an ICAO form into vPilot when the prefile page works just fine.

Why is it a nuisance? 

I've been prefiling my flight plans for over a decade and have no issues with it.

i just started doing it on the website after seeing that news and yeah its pretty painless.. especially with the simbrief prefile function

was also a good reason to learn about icao equipment codes, pbn, etc. too

only thing bugs me is the DOF/ (date) field is only required if you are filing 23+ hours in advance (i think) but it is required on vatsim
