About

This section collects freeware flight planning and navigation tools for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, created by community developers from around the world. The category covers everything a virtual pilot needs before and during a flight, from electronic flight bags (EFBs) and route planners to preflight briefing tools, flight plan converters, and E6B-style calculators for wind correction, fuel, and time-distance problems. Many tools connect to services such as SimBrief to import operational flight plans, display routes on a live moving map, and keep checklists, fuel figures, and ETAs close at hand on a second screen, in a browser, or on a tablet. Others focus on the preparation side, helping you check weather, plan alternates, and sync flight plans between the simulator and external planners. Whether you fly IFR airline routes or VFR cross-countries, these utilities make flight preparation and in-flight navigation more structured and realistic. All tools in this category are free to download.
