A PDF manual is included in your start menu, which shows you a few of the ways you can customise Ideal Flight for how you want to fly.

Ideal Flight makes deciding where to fly next as easy as clicking a button. Generate random flights or continue from where you left any aircraft parked at the click of a button. Ideal Flight creates exciting flights to your own criteria – be it a half-hour hop to the next airfield or a transatlantic epic non-stop challenge…

“It will be a permanent FSX add-on for me!” – SimFlight.com

Ideal Flight is an automated flight planner and global weather generation utility like no other. It creates a flight based on your selected filters such as flight duration, favourite routes, aircraft and airports, weather conditions (including jet streams and thermals) and failures. It then provides a comprehensive pre-flight briefing and post-flight assessment including a Pilot Career log with awards. On completion, the flight will be assessed for smooth operation. Points can be awarded for satisfactory handling of the aircraft and systems with the results logged against your “career”.
