Making a Flight Route: Can anyone help!!!!

[Andrew Templeton 1004354]

I am a new pilot on Vasim and I am getting used to flying IFR. I was making I flight plan just through fs2004 which I realise is wrong as I confuse the ATC when I send the flight plan because I just copy the route in the GPS. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to fill in the ROUTE when it comes to the flight plan because I am really lost! I really don't know how to put in VOR's (I think), and in what order. I was also wondering then how would you put them, then into the GPS.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

 

You should use either FSnavigation (www.fsnavigator.com) or try www.vroute.info

Thanks Scott for the reply.

Some reason I had problems when trying to install vroute when it says downloading 1 of 1 file. Anyway I will keep trying.

Thanks again,

Andrew

For routes from and to Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Egypt, you may use http://www.vatroute.net to get valid routings.

If you need a good freeware flight management system (FMS) to fly your flightplan, have a look at vasFMC ( http://vas-project.org/ )

 

Good luck and happy landings on VATSIM!

Thanks Henning,

That program is great just what I needed. I managed to get vroute to work as well which is great.

Thanks,

Andrew
