Flightsim on a budget: In case it did not make any sens what i did ill try to clarify it a bit more. I toke the subscription Ultimate Monthly from Navigraph and then immediately canceled it, this way i get acces to it for one whole month. I download all the charts that are interesting for me and the regions i fly in. I updated my MSFS navdata with the navigraph navdata center, the i updated my little navmap data with the FMS data manager. When thats done i pull the 2 navigraph navdata folders from my community folder and place them in my personal addons folder which is use for my addonlinker . I use addon linker to put the latest navdata into my community folder again. i hope it makes any sens. I personally recommend using addon linker, it keeps your community folder clean and not overloaded. The idea is to get the montly subscription twice a year, that should keep the navdata recent enough for flightsimming. So 20 dollars vs 90 for one whole year of nadata (but not always the latest).

Thanks, I’ve actually been planning to do a video for beginners on how to use 8 in the coming months :)

Yes that’s true, but it gets tricky when Google doesn’t find them and you don’t speak the language.

You need a Navigraph subscription to do this.

Foreflight is a real world tool; most of the options I looked at here are for flight simulation only. I've never actually seen anyone use Foreflight for flight simulation, come to think of it.

I'm guessing that Foreflight was left out of this video because of its cost. In addition, it was definitely not developed for simulators, so it may not be quite as easy to use with MFS as apps that are. Can you tell us if it has the ability to export flight plans in a format that's usable in MFS, or if it can download plans directly into MFS like Navigraph's Simbrief and Downloader can?

i am also curious about Foreflight as I know it is widely used for real flight. If I get more info, I will share here.
