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.

Here is a screenshot of the new autopilot, as you may see it's built upon the model found in FS2004's Boeing 777 (simple and complete with almost all autopilot switches). The new autopilot feature is now finished and fully functional.

Meantime, new ideas coming out: do not strip the old Fly-To routines (which are still fully functional, I have just commented out the source code), yet improve them by adding "Fly To Plan Waypoint" and "Flight Flight Plan" (a Super Flight Planner internally simulated GPS). Another is "Do a 360 deg turn", to avoid FS ATC coming out with "Please expedit descent to etc. etc.". The plane will do a complete 360 turn while keep on descending. Chances are I can add these new features with final release.

Hello guys,
I'm here to talk about the progress done on Super Flight Planner project so far. Next release should be ready at about end of next week . I'm now fine-tuning the new IPC system which already works flawlessly here; I will also see whether I'd had some time left to provide a simple radio stack, as well [...]

Hello people. Here is a screen shot of the work I did during the past days. Now, Super Flight Planner is able to display data from Flight Simulator GPS (both fsx and fs2004, depending on what you are running), as well as being able to increase to next waypoint, decrease to previous waypoint.
I have now started to focus on the autopilot system, which I'll introduce as soon as it's ready to go. We'll the proceed on distributing the very last Release Candidate and after several more test we'll enjoy the final product.
Keep in touch.
