First look at AviaPlanner - a new flight planning and chart application for Flight Simulation

AviaPlanner is a new flight planning and chart visualisation tool for flight simulation - with perhaps it's biggest selling points (at the moment) being LIDO charts from Lufthansa, and it's cost - it's much cheaper than Navigraph (but far less capable too).

You can get a free trial, so why not take a look!

Positives:

- 3 day free trial
- Very clean map display (courtesy of Mapbox)
- LIDO charts (from Lufthansa) are very good
- Web interface (so you can run it on anything with a browser)
- It's 60% cheaper than Navigraph

Negatives:

- Not possible to customise routes
- No waypoints, VORs etc outside of your route visible on map
- Only caters for commercial/larger air traffic - no smaller airfields
- Your aircraft does not appear on the map
- It doesn't sync nav data yet (it's coming)
