But the ease of use is obviously years better in grabbing and moving the maps to your will, I only found the MAP in being slower in loading.

a very good application.Īt first glace you are taken straight back to your Goodway years, as the layout feels and looks the same, and the global routes are the same in scaleable. Now Navigraph have released v7.0 (current v7.0.1) and a lot of what is in the new version was in there in earlier versions, but it is in the disintictive way the program have been intergrated together now in that brings all the elements together into one complete seemless application. Now if you did do the in - out update program, you will now need to think again on that subscription. But lately I have been leaving my monthly subscription active all the time. You subscribe to Navigraph on a monthly or yearly basis or EUR 8.30 / mo or EUR 74.90 / year, so you could do a month update the AIRAC cycle and then drop out again. Like most I used Navigraph originally only three to four times a year to update the AIRAC data Cycles. Lately I have been also using Navigraph Charts to do those SID and STAR segments. Simbrief will build a route for you and then give you not only the notes on the route but the actual route to download (In a lot cases you still have to add in the specific SID or STAR procedure). as you simply don't want to lose this tool. this is an extraordinary professional route briefing software tool that is absolutely free, so please donate. If you follow the reviews here you will note that I now use SimBrief. Goodway was the best, but it was also still very basic and buggy, but at least it had LOW and HIGH routes and was scaleable, the odd point was trying build cross Pacific routes as they never joined up? or getting the correct Atlantic cross routes working and In reality good route creation programs were very few even up to about four years ago until Google Map based editors started to appear, but they were also very slow as well and depending on your internet connection and came with the high cost in data as Google Maps are huge data munchers. at least you could save all your hard work. Starting out in X-Plane in v9, it usually took me two and a half hours to create a route, mostly for long haul of say London to Singapore, you had to input every three letter VOR ICAO code and every five letter WAYPOINT ICAO code into the X-Plane FMS, this is in the not the FMC we have now, but the earlier original version, no AIRWAYS, no deletes, no SID or STAR (you had to create every SID or STAR section yourself via charts), and a LON - SIN segment usually had a 50+ waypoints in the route (Including the SID and STAR segments).
