When you first open the program, you’ll see a world map over-laid on the program itself. For now, if you want to play around in the software first, it comes with the 1302 cycle included. You can update the AIRAC cycles and I’ll touch on that later. It’s going to load the included AIRAC cycle, routes, plates, etc into the package for you. When you first run PFPX, give it some time. The choices are there, but for this review I installed with all defaults in place. Or, if you choose, install to another drive of your choosing. Installing the software is very straight forward and you can accept all defaults of the installer. This section of the review will be short and sweet. So why not make your flight planning rise to that level as well? Let me introduce to you Professional Flight Planner X (PFPX). For years now, since the release of Flight Simulator X, the mantra of the flight sim world is “as real as it gets.” I know I have heard it everywhere during my flight simulation “career.” You fly your flights as close to real as you can scenery add-ons, real world weather, real world aircraft repaints and so on.
