They would be especially useful on long-distance/overseas flights. We should give it a whirl.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide the overseas routes that use the NATS. These routes change daily, which is why you see:

http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/. Check use SIDs, use STARs, Ease transitions and enable NATs or use http://www.flightaware.com to find real routings.
Route Links and tools:
FlightAware RouteFinder North Atlantic & Pacific Tracks

in the route section of the dispatch form.

I thought they were already included when you print the flight form after activating a leg of the rotation. It certainly contains a lot of info i.e. souls on board, ploanned route, aircraft maintenance issues, weather etc. What else are you wanting to include?

If your flight plan makes sense, I'd certainly use it!

Bud, that very same form would include a hyperlink that would download a flight plan file. This file is what you would load within the simulator and is used by the simulator GPS to show the route of flight, waypoints, etc.
