One of the great things about flight sims like X-Plane and Fly! is that you can travel the world, going from country to country. You can join Virtual Airlines (VA) and follow published or fictional flight schedules, but what they do not allow is any true variety or excitement. They merely have you fly between different airports at scheduled times along a specific route. This is fine for flying the big jumbo jets, but what if you want to fly general aviation planes or helicopters, or want to fly attractive or hazardous routes ? The best way is to get flight plans from your freinds or fellow sim pilots, people who have found interesting routes first hand becouse they fly them on their computers or for real.
Some fellow sim pilots have already sent me some interesting routes to try out. Have a look at them and then think of a flight of your own and send it to me and I will post it here.
