Hi does anyone one know where I can get my hands on some genuine flight plans?

I would recomend that the easiest way to do this would be to purchase some of the manuals for real pilots license's that explain the process for compiling a real flight plan.  You can download forms from the internet (FAA site I believe) and then you can fill them out using sim information and fly them as if they are real.  

Otherwise you could contact your local flying club and talk to someone there about getting photocopies of flight plans done for you.

Hey Will,

Hmm, not sure the local flying club would be much help, let me explain.

I just got A320PIC, and I love the fact that you can program all the computers with your flightplan, with SIDs, STARs and everything.

The only genuine flightplan I have, is one kindly given to me by the crew of a JAL B744 I flew on from Tokyo to Heathrow, only problem is, the A320 can't go that far!!

Thanks for the help anyhow.
