Flight planning tools

None of the "auto routing" tools I have seen, either for MS Flightsim, nor for X-Plane, produce any routes that would get accepted by Eurocontrol (or the US equivalent) as an IFR flightplan.

Personally, I get my routings from flightaware, vatroute, or vataware.

Entering them into the FMC is not that hard, and if you have a route that you fly regularly, just save it.

I never got much of tools like "FS Navigator" or "FSBuild" in my active FS time, and I'm not aware if any tool that has remotely as many capabilities as FSBuild exists for X-Plane, so I didn't bother picking up a flightplan format from any of these tools.

Thanks for your response.

What I usually do for FSX (I'm new to xplane) is I take a route from flightaware or from routefinder, copy it to the flightsim commander (it's a flight planner tool) and just save it in whatever airplane format I use (pmdg or native fsx format), then I just load it to fms as a company route. It saves me a lot of time as I rarely fly the same route often.

So what would be great is just a tool that could just convert a simple route string to the fms format flight plan file....
