Does anyone use this program? Any reviews would be appreciated for both commercial aircraft and military jets like the FA-18. Thanks

I've used it for several years. As an FS9 user, I always liked FSNavigator but unfortunately it doesn't work with FSX. When I purchased FSX my only choice was FSCommander which works well. My only complaints are that it doesn't work with aircraft that have an FMC and it doesn't support VNAV or altitude functions. It does work well with longitudinal course guidance and has an excellent moving map which interfaces with VATSIM and IVAO.

Thanks Tom, in your opinion, is it worth the money or is there something better out there?

Thanks in advance

If you're using FSX and frequently fly aircraft without an FMC, it's worth the money. You can also purchase monthly updates for the AIRAC database from Navigraph.

I never fly without it - for years now. As mentioned, FSNav was a great tool - which I still have for FS9, but I use FSCommander for FSX. It offers a much easier UI and does much more than FSBuild

I used to LOVE FSNav way back in the day. As a user of FSBuild now tho, does FSCommander bring in weather for it's fuel calculations?

Why not update every two months instead and stretch your updates?
