While enroute, use one of three different moving map displays. You can also define your own approach procedures and fly them in your ATC controlled flight. Before starting Explorer, read on and see for yourself. This survey is intended for those that have used this product or add-on. If you have used it, please let your fellow simulation enthusiasts know how you rate it by taking this survey.
Flight planning is accomplished using the regular means.
It's actually pretty easy. Determine your departure and arrival airports, load up the Intersections and GPS fixes, and generate either a low or high altitude flight plan. If you want to make your own, click Generate Manually and search the database for the waypoints. If you do get Flightsim Commander to generate the flight plan, make sure you add the final approach waypoint. This waypoint is critical, because as I found, if you don't add it, the program will generate a really wacky flight plan.
