How Do You Create Your Flight Plans on Mobile?
-
I personally use the fmc in the cockpit and I get the waypoints via simbrief.

Hello, I had a question for the community: how do you create your flight plans on mobile?
In the cockpit I use the FMC a little bit (for make route) because after a certain distance FMC is useless, but for make flight plan I use simbrief
-
I use the FlyCharts app on mobile, that is free and always updated with the latest AIRAC and Jeppesen FliteDeck Pro on iPad, like in real flights and aircrafts. Then I create the flight plan manually in the FMC.
But Aerofly isn't updated with the latest AIRAC, so it doesn't find some waypoints, and I have to skip them (not always so safe), I wish it had a method to update the AIRAC ourselves, like other simulators do.
Update: I have started creating my own flight planner app (some code on my own, at some parts with help from Claude I should say), now available on https://ngroute.com
You are free to test it any time

You could also keep the SimBrief flight plan open on a second screen while flying.

Why do you need these "crutches" if Aerofly has its own fairly easy-to-use flight planner? I understand that there is, for example, a point in using simbrief in more computationally demanding simulators that require more time for all this setup, which is a fairly effective tool for saving time and convenience. Is it fundamentally important for you not to deviate from trends and follow simbrief's instructions even if the simulator offers a more simplified flight setup model?
