No one does this better than Q8, no one. His attention to detail and helpful tips are without comparison. His streams are unmatched in the Flight Sim world. Whether you are an old pro or a newbie to Flt Sim you can learn something from him. He has zero bias and treats everyone with respect and consideration. I encourage you to watch one of his live streams, they are informative and fun

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank you for your support, and friendship Rand. I appreciate your kind words.

[@egemukan]

When I remember the old days; We almost lost you, You said you stopped posting and streaming videos. I can't imagine a simulation community without you. Thank you for still being here, thank you for these tutorials. 👍👏

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank you for your kindness and support. Truly appreciate it.

[@omarijoseph3189]

this video right here, i know a lot of people will totally appreciate this...well done my friend.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank you Omari.

[@steveflynn9279]

Excellent tutorial. I've never planned a vfr flight with navigraph. Pretty good interface to all the needed information.

[@Q8Pilot]

Glad it was helpful!

[@NormanHolden]

What a informative video -- thank you

[@dannyvr1225]

Very clearly explained, thank you. Hopefully there will soon be a video with flight planning for IFR with SID-enroute-STAR and approach :-)

Thanks for the video, very useful and very pedagogical ! as usual :)

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching my friend.

[@fabbemar]

Thanks for the video, it was really helpful 👏👏👏🙏

[@McFly1]

You can also add VFR route points such as cities, towns, etc.. Thx for your videos.

[@jakew9887]

Excellent presentation. Thanks

[@dragoclarke9497]

Another great video, you have a gift for explaining things. Many thanks.
PS. Have you ever done a video about using VATSIM? If not please consider doing one.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@helicopterovirtual-msfs6254]

Excelente.

[@murraybasham6083]

once the Flight Plan is created in Navigraph and exported to FS2020, it takes us directly to the active runway chosen through the Load - as shown in your video.
I would prefer to start up cold and dark on the Apron of my choice. Then from that point, once aircraft is running, then Load the ‘Flight Plan’ into the GPS.
Are you able to show how that works. Starting immediately on the active runway isn’t quite real world. Thanks

[@wilga80]

Thanks Q8

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching!

[@wilga80]

You are welcome. Always enjoy your videos.@@Q8Pilot

[@basvh666]

amazing ! how do you unhook the navigation screen of the plane

[@davidhorobin1060]

Very useful - thank you.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching. Glad this has helped.

[@karljordan06]

Nice video thx. When I try to make my vfr flight plan I get a dotted line for the first leg of my plan. I can add a sid which works but I thought sids and starrs a for ifr only. In your video you don't get a dotted line, what am I doing wrong?

[@xo-Tobe]

Thank you for this guide Q8P, please would be great if you added or Navi did a few more of those for the community, cheers

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching! I plan on making several more videos on Navigraph for sure. If there is a specific topic in mind, please do let me know.

[@steveflynn9279]

@@Q8Pilot For VFR flights the ability to produce a NavLog from a Navigraph flt PLN that could be exported to Excel to help fill out the complete flight plan would be very helpful.

[@greenplanet8774]

Interesting the tutorial, but in real like we need clock, map and point. The Navigraph doesn't do a nice job like Visual maps from USA.

[@alaaorouk8720]

Thank you very much for the continuous investment to enrich us

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching my friend.

[@shamsghandourah2670]

Love u Osama u r great

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank you for your kind words. Appreciate it.

[@G-XWBE]

First pin plz

[@andrew194854]

Thank you Q8 for another great video, Just a question if I may, I have a RSG GTN750 which I run with the TDS software, how can I load the Navigraph flight plan into the stand alone GTN750? I always do it manually after I made the flight plan. Thank you for your time.

[@Q8Pilot]

Hey Andrew, I am not sure I understand the question correctly. I am not familiar with RSG.

[@andrew194854]

RSG = RealSimGear GTN750 Module.

[@clayton4115]

at 2:51 I do not get the departure paths on my Navigraph, I tried airport YBAF.

[@Q8Pilot]

They are not available for all airports.

[@Thrust-Set-Simulations]

Excellent video. The weather and export features are pretty nice. If you have those VFR departure points depicted, I think you have to include all the points in the departure in the route, so as not to fly over for example noise sensitive areas. You can fly wherever you want after the last point. By the way, in boats and aircraft, they are called charts, not maps. Maps are what you use in ground vehicles, like a car, and hiking. I look forward to the next video.

[@aileronsintowind6835]

VFR waypoints are called VRPs visual reference points.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank you!

[@aileronsintowind6835]

Anytime bud. Have a good one

[@rainmaker1011]

Was it AI generated narration?

[@Q8Pilot]

No

[@Despiser25]

$10 a month for Navigraph to play a video game is ABSURD. We should be pointing and laughing at them instead of helping them.

[@Q8Pilot]

Clearly you don't understand what navigraph offers for the flight simulation community.

[@NormanHolden]

Thanks!

[@Q8Pilot]

Thank you very much for your generous support!
