Software for flight planning????
The one AOPA (AOPA's Real-Time Flight Planer power by Jeppesen) has does that, I
laned a trip from Oklahoma to California PWA - RIR via airways at a too low an altitude (7500) and it did some weird stuff. When I set the altitude at 10500, it did a good job. But this one is a free down-load (as long as you are an AOPA member) and does most of jobs OK. |

Software for flight planning????
"Chris G." wrote in message reenews.net... I attended the NW Aviation Conference and Trade Show in Puyallup, WA, on Feb 25 and watched an EXTENSIVE demo of the Voyager software by Seattle Avionics. In the demo, I quizzed them in such a way that they planned my route home from 1S0-HIO-SLE twice, using separate routings and features. I was sufficiently impressed to purchase the product with an update subscription for special show price of about $200 (US). Normal price would be about $250 for the same package. I purchased it because of their willingness to show me the product thoroughly, the feature sets offered by the software, and the price. I would not have necessarily purchased anything this expensive had I not been able to play with it like I had. They do offer a free trial period to use the software. I think it was 10 days or something like that. Fully functional. http://www.seattleavionics.com Disclaimer: I have no relationship with Seattle Avionics, other than having the experience shown above at the NWAC&TS in Puyallup. As with everything, YMMV. You might be quite disappointed with the performance you get away from the show site (I'm assuming they had a T-1 or better connection at the convention site) as some have noted it's performance can overwhelm even the biggest and bestest PCs along with Cable or DSL. |

I've installed it and messed with it quite a bit on my home system and
have had no real problems. That's not to say I wouldn't buy the Jepp Flightstar, because I would if it was less expensive or I was richer. (neither are the case Chris Matt Barrow wrote: "Chris G." wrote in message reenews.net...

Try AirPlan out... it isn't a processor hog. Voyager uses .NET and
eats lots of CPU cycles. AirPlan is Win32 and only the map redraws are processor intensive, and they are fairly quick. http://www.razorsedgesoft.com/airplan (30 day trial) |
