How I Plan My Flights in MSFS (Ideas, Routes & Inspiration)

Описание: This video shows how I plan my flights in MSFS — focusing on ideas, routes, and inspiration rather than strict rules

Flight planning is half the fun in flight simulation — and it doesn’t have to be about rules, checklists, or doing everything “by the book”.

I walk through how I get ideas for planning flights in MSFS — whether I’m flying solo or organising group flights. This is about inspiration, exploration, and turning a flight into an experience.

We explore terrain and visual reference points using SkyVector, check real-world weather with Ventusky and BadBadWeather, and look at navlogs, fuel planning, and wind drift using a virtual E6B.

From there, we move into simulator-focused tools like the MSFS Flight Planner, Navigraph, and SimBrief, before diving into purpose-driven flying with FireFly Air, SayIntentions, and OnAir — from structured airline routes to story-driven missions and career mode flying.

We also look at historical inspiration using the Northwest Airlines History Center, showing how real-world routes from decades ago can spark ideas for where to fly next.

It's a great way of finding interesting flights, flying with intent, and making the most of the world MSFS gives us.
