I have released a Flight Plan Export module for Ernie Alston's Integrated Simavionics, while waiting for the new SFP. You can download it from the SFP4 Add-ons section. Tomorrow will also upload a flight plan export module for PMDG 747-400. Note that these modules will be integrated by default with next release (sorry, still working hard on it).
Still a few days left. I'm not getting happy until I have flown at least 100 hours with the new IPC link system (currently 74.8 hours).

Hello guy, just sorry for Super Flight Planner release delay. Relax, I have not stopped it like last time, the cause is the amount time it takes to debug IPC code.
To test for reliability, there is nothing to do but flight hours and waiting for a bug to come up, and I want to make sure anything is as bug-free as possible.
Right now I have flown about 40 hours with FSXlinking with Super Flight Planner, but I would like to test it for about 20 more hours or so. After, I'd rather test a few flights with FS2004 as well, and finally I'll do the release.
Please bear and keep in touch, thanks.
 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.
In this tutorial you will learn the basics of Super Flight Planner: creating a new database, create a new flight plan, send navaids to flight plan, change the aircraft, saving the flight plan and finally, exporting Flight Plans to FS GPS....
Hello all,
as usual, I'm here to post the Super Flight Planner periodical development progress which is quite active right now, I think... Several bugs (but they was more like code-lacks) have been discovered and addressed successfully. One in special was in the creation of FSX flight plans. It seems that Flight Simulator GPS doesn't like when second fields in latitude/longitude are equal to 0 or equal to 60. As such, values like E 180:0:0 or N 18:23:60 are driving it crazy. My latitude/longitude routine was lacking a control to clamp second values in a range from 0.01 to 59.99. Now, this check is done so that E 180 will become E 179:59.99 and N 0 will become N0:0:0.1. The same patch has been applied also to the module that exports flight plans to FS2004. Other small workarounds have been added to flight plan recalculation routines in order to avoid less frequent calculus errors. The development continues with the improvements over FS Link system (click on the title to read the rest)...
I will be away for a week starting tonight, therefore I'm forced to delay with Super Flight Planner release. Besides, I have still work left in the scenery scanner, to increase stability when scanning Flight Simulator / X scenery. Please bear with me, sh*t happens...
Super Flight Planner 4, Release Candidate 2 is now available for Download. Here is the changes list: - Added: Super Flight Planner is now able to scan, decode and display Control Centers from Flight Simulator BGL Files. Coding to add other boundaries support is also in progress.
- Fixed: SFP Exported Flight Plans didn't display VOR and NDB frequencies when loaded into FSX. (YQTFun).
- Fixed: further increasing of FSUIPC link reliability. I believe I have now eliminated almost all bugs. You must bear with me here because SFP uses multithreading to link to FS: implementing IPC Link process in a separated thread implies right usage of semaphoring techniques to avoid two processes to access a common memory area at the same time
