FS Navigator perhaps?
or maybe http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/
But those are as "real world" as the generated flightplan in FS flightplanner

Can you clarify your question?

Anyways, you can make a flight plan by going into Create a Flight > Flight Planner.

sure...F$ doesn't use real fligjht plans or waypoints I think....they just use flight plans that they made up just to give the impretion of a flight plan..The thing i'm looking for is what NEXUS said...It gets you as close to areal world flightplan as it could...

If you want way points just drag the lin ein the FS2002 planner to where you wan to go, like over a VOR.

FS uses real waypoints and airways, and some generated flightplans by the Flightplanner are actually very close. Main reason why  I don't use it is because the navdata is out of date, and that the first/last waypoints are not always a transition from a DP or STAR.

So what do you use to get transition from the DP or star?


I use http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/, it uses the same navdata as PMDG and PSS addons (AIRACS by navdata.at), and I also use my judgement to a certain extent ;)
