      Well, Navigraph has far better and more comprehensive map data and charts. When flying in Europe, the in-game solution doesn't have airspaces specific to France or Germany (RMZ). Also, Navigraph has much more types of forbidden airspaces (noise abatement, etc). Finally, in-game misses a lot of frequencies in VFR-centric airports. Yes, it's much better than before and it's free but Navigraph remains very relevant.

      ​​@@saschpeSorry, I do not agree. The default Lido charts, included for free, are way better than the Navigraph's Jeppesen charts, especially for flying around Europe. And Navigraph charts are sometimes quite outdated.

      "In the old days", when the functionality of products was implemented in hardware, there was usually a user's handbook which was provided by the manufacturer. Nowadays' the vast majority of the functionality is effected by software and has grown exponentially in relation to the hardware component. Counter-intuitively, software developers have mainly decided not to provide a users' functionality handbook and the hapless purchases is expected to find and absorb the necessary information by 'osmosis'. Documentation authoring is a very skilled activity which has requirements apparently incompatible with software development. So it is never properly considered and we users are left floundering in the information abyss. Thank goodness for YT and people like SimHanger without whose knowledge we would be lost.

    Do the charts display your aircraft's position, so you can see exactly where you are, whether on the tarmac at an airport, on a departure, enroute, on an arrival and on an approach? "Moving maps", I think Navigraph calls the feature.

    However, I am having difficulty of loading (using the top left button in the XBOX EFB) a flight plan I saved via FS Flight Planner software.
    When I select a flight plan (i.e., "LOAD" button), the button text was changed to "LOADING" but its stuck at LOADING and going nowhere.

    The easiest way to enjoy MSFS and stay within aeronautic rules is to fly GA VFR.
    Al you need to do is nominate the Destination Airfield. This represents the telephone call to arrange Prior Permission ( PPR ).
    In the Sim, there is no need to go on the destination website and pay landing fees by PayPal.
    When an arrival time is agreed ( in the Sim, it's 'Whenever' ), the flight is in G airspace so no plan needs to be filed.
    If there is A airspace, fly over or around. This is because the Sim doesn't know 'Zone Transit' requests.
    The route taken from departure to arrival can be anywhere, as long as the arrival time is honoured.
    Give an extra hour so some sightseeing can be done. This is the method REAL sightseeing aeroplane tours work.
    What has to remembered is Salisbury Plain Military Area has a Gnd to 60,000ft No Fly Zone.
