The WEB software has been upgraded due to a deface which happened last day. Site should now be protected however some malfunction may happen during the next few days: if so, it'll be caught and corrected, for any issues try to come back later.

I'm now busy upgrading Super Flight Planner for the upcoming release. It's a great time for me now, my LDS 767-300ER is parked in the hangar until September, so in the morning I can do the code work on SFP, in the afternoon I can go play on the beach and in the night I can have fun!
However today was all spent on code as my purpose was to improve the interoperability between the LDS 767 and SFP. Therefore I have reimplemented the export module to correctly handle routes. At the same time I have extended it so that it can now import LDS routes as well.
I have already done a few tests and it seems to work fine, although it's still too slow in scanning GPS legs (I have the way to make the search faster but I have to do some modificiations to the main SFP code). This new feature might not sound too interesting, but in reality it opens up a lot of possibilities - for example you can file a route online on simroutes.com , save it in Level-D format and have it imported into SFP with a few mouse clicks. And so on...

I'm working on the next Super Flight Planner version: please allow for a couple of weeks as I'm in Holiday and I like to play in the sun more than coding software at the moment... I'm also working to an update to SFP Tools, to support latest changes introduced with RC4. This also means that it will be possible to file perfectly Airac compatible flight plans.
Please click on the Read More link to see the changes report for this time. [...]

Did you know you can support SUPER FLIGHT PLANNER and other software of mine without spending nor donating anything. How?

All you need is a few seconds of your time. You can click on the Google-ad links on top of the page to visit some random sponsor. Therefore, please be kind enough to do it, I don't ask you doing it each time you visit this site, but do it sometimes.

It's totally free of charge for you and will bring me a few encome, which I will use for technical support and buying new software libraries. It will also provide you a random pick of cool sites to visit.

I will be grateful for you forever. TIA!

I have uploaded a prebuild database for Super Flight Planner 4 RC4 on avsim.com. It should be available in a few hours.
Users who have troubles running SFP4 Database Wizard may use temporarily, until I find out something more.
Just go to avsim.com and look for sfp_fsx_accel.zip

The IPC User Guide for SFP4 is now available in the SFP DOCS blog (you can easily access it using the Blog Latest Entries on Web Page left side (or, click here ). Sorry for delay but I had to reinstall the whole Operating System from scratch on my PC and it took some time.
Cheers, Alex.

I have released Super Flight Planner 4, RC 4. Please find it in the download section, or go to avsim.com (if it's not online yet, wait a few hours). Unfortunately I'm very tired, I've been working all day to prepare the distro and I'm not willing to finish documentation about new IPC now: please wait tomorrow or after tomorrow.

Just one useful info: SFP is able to fly the current plan loaded in Flight Simulator (instead of writing routines to build my own GPS I tune the autopilot heading value to GPS Course to Steer as returned from FS: it's simpler and ensures you never go off-route with consequent ATC intervention as it's the case with 3rd party add-ons using theit own means). To enable auto-fly, turn on the IPC monitor and check the autofly field (you can find it by pressing the Assist button). Later on, enable autopilot in FS (press Z) and turn on heading hold. This will alow SFP to drive the aircraft using FS GPS Data.

Expect other info over the next few days.
Alex.

I'm pleased to announce that latest Super Flight Planner 4 release will be available starting Sunday Night (GMT +2).
It's been a long time of testing and hard coding; beware it still has bugs and limitations left, which will be detailed in the hystory file. I'll write down some kind of docs about the new IPC system tomorrow (despite the bugs left this is now the most robust code section and you absolutely have to experience it), and then release.

Also be aware that there will be very few updates to SFP 4 family from now on, just because I've started to write Super Flight Planner 5: this features a complete code rewrite, with porting from Object Pascal to C/C++ - the good new is that I can rely on a very robust and performant foundation library and C is my primary language...
Here is a few details of the new features that will be available and which I'm already working on:

• Powered by Microsoft Virtual Earth. All the power of Virtual Earth available, including 3D views.
• New flight plan engine with auto computed airways and/or direct-to flight plans
• Climb steps profile
• Realistic aircraft support, with importing from FS planes included: this works through a gauge which when activated into an aircraft, logs all the parameters to a log file and then extrapolate the contents to an aircraft data file ready for use with SFP.
• NAT and PACOTS support: this is also currently in progress with SFP 4
• AI Traffic display on the MS Virtual Earth Map: this is also in progress with SFP 4
• Full X-Plane support, if possible with IPC link

As we may see, there are already several foundaments to produce the Flight Planner of the future. Meantime I will keep to maintain SFP4, although not as often as before.
Ciao, Alex.
