Hi.
I think the good thing about AFS4 is that you can easily create flight plans in the simulator, without the need for external applications like Simbrief or Navigraph.
I don't know what AIRAC it uses (maybe in airplanes like A320 it should be in the MCDU).
I recently bought this and I'm blown away... other simulators don't load as fast, or look as good, it's not perfect but I don't need more. This and MSFS are very enjoyable.

I am for the most part very satisfied with my purchase too. I only wish the pushback function was a bit better instead of having to do it manually.
As for the flight plan thing, I prefer to put the flight plan into the FMS myself instead of the navigation thing simply for fun and realism purposes. So having nonexistent waypoints can be pretty annoying. But this can be easily fixed if I just find out what AIRAC cycle is being used and thus make flight plans according to that
Cycle 1301 works for flight planning. Detailed discussion here Navigation Database AIRAC Cycle, Navigraph
There is no nod towards airways and similar formal routes in Aerofly's navigation page. With future improvements this might develop.
The sim is amazing in mobile but there will always be room for improvement.
Take a look at the tutorial section, it has a lot of interesting information about the sim, including flight planning:
1301 especially in Europe.
If I remember well, in Japan I used 2201 which was OK for routes but terrible for SID and STAR that seem to be from 1301.
Things are coming from 1301 and other, it is a kind of mix.
Unfortunately, in 1301, you will not have mordern RNAV that guide you to the runway threshold (like it is the case today at La Palma, Innsbruck, Aspen, Paro, etc.)

I think it depends on the region, I've been flying RNAV approaches around Europe. Haven't tried the RNAV into innsbruck (I flew the offset ILS to the opposite runway) What happens when you fly the RNAV into Innsbruck?
The RNAV ends many miles away from the runway, whereas the today RNAV Z 08 transition ELMEM brings you to the threshold.
Hi all
It is impossible to create a flight plan in simbrief, the oldest airac available is 2012 (December 2020)It would be nice if the developers offered the opportunity to be able to update it. It seems that in the future (I hope not too distant) there would be the possibility of using the ATC system Sayintentions.AI, but without an updated database it will be of no use
