Flight Plan Manager
Please note, this is an early Beta, still deciding what data to allow the user to store, so any suggestions welcome and if there is enough interest, I can add. Also looking to add filtering and user selectable columns.
This application will let you import and store information about flight plans. Note that it is not for creating/editing flightplans (there are plenty of great applications for that) but is just to help organize your flight plans.
Features
- Import and save flight plans
- View map of plan
- Rate flight plans
- Get type of flight plan (VFR/IFR)
- Capture Departure, Destination and Total Distance
- Add comments to flight plans, such as who flown with or personal notes
- Sort and filter ata on the screen

Very nice work - this has hidden potential written all over it - would you consider allowing the import feature to scan a directory tree and import all plns at once? many thanks!

That request was already made and is in the backlog. My day job is getting in the way of fun now, but hopefully will be getting back to some improvements here. Any and all suggestions are welcome

Love the new airport/waypoint columns! i noticed one bug while deleting the previous notes info - if you mis-click and the whole line is selected and you press delete- when you click NO on the dialog it still deletes it!. Also- i had 2 duplicate plans, one filename had a (1) in it, when i deleted this one, both were deleted

Thanks, I will look into both of those issues

When I run the FlightPlanManager.exe nothing starts up. I look in task manager and it is not running? I installed in a folder on my desktop along with other programs for MSFS 2020 and have no issues with them. I'm running Windows11, MSFS2020 is the download version, and I use MSFSAddonLinker.

Can you look in the folder with the exe for a .log file and see if there is anything in there? I don't have win 11, but I don't see any reason that it should not be compatible so this might explain what is happening

good job in future updates will you be something like simconnect or FSUIPC7 connection between the app and Microsoft fight simulator to see moving player icons and AI traffic icon on map
Kenz67 author
Thanks for you comments. At this time there is no plan to link to the sim. While I would never completely rule out anything in the future, there are plenty of apps out there that are very functional for showing progress on a map, etc. and I don't want to rebuild what others have done.
In addition to a few more fields, the biggest future enhancement coming will be the ability to filter to list

Airport Elevation would be helpful....
Kenz67 author
I was adding some requested columns and looked at this one. Jus want to be clear what you are asking. I think you are looking for Departure and Dest elevations as there are too many elevations to add all when taking all possible airports and waypoints into consideration, but I might consider these 2.

Thank you for this program, it helps me a lot sorting out all my flightplans. It is simple and that is good. May i suggest to mention not only the icao code of the departure and destination airport but also the name of towns of cities corresponding the icao code? The codes itself doesn't say me much.

Just found this little program, nice idea. Would be nice to have an overview on the map with all available flightplans? Or maybe even so filtered by type, or lenght.
Kenz67 author
Thanks, I actually can't take credit for the idea, it was posted by some one in the microsoft forums and it seemed fun to develop. I've used so much stuff from others that I like contributing myself so I've starting doing some development. Always looking for new ideas.
I'm considering how to expand the map without it getting too crowded. I'm also still learning the map and what I can do with it. There are some other ideas in the pipeline as well

I'm hoping that I found the import issue. It may be related to localization and "," vs "." in decimal numbers. New version uploaded, please let me know if issues persist

Import works fine for me now and mileage seems to be correct. Thank you very much!

At least a couple of people have had issues importing data. I've added logging, if there is an error, the path to the log will be in the error message. If you get an error, please send me the log or post the last few lines of the log and hopefully I will be able to see what happened

Everything is OK since te last update

One other person left the same comment but I have not been able to reproduce. If you could send me sample file(s) I would be happy to look at what is happening. Can I ask how you are creating the files?

Impossible to import any .pln flightplan, message "invalid format"
Kenz67 author
I haven't had any issues importing any files so I would like to get to the bottom of what is happening. If you could send me a private message and attach one or two files I can see if I can reproduce this issue. Can I ask how you are creating these files?
