  • Project mention: How do you navigate? | /r/MicrosoftFlightSim | 2023-12-09

    There's a wealth of resources on youtube for whatever kind of flight you're planning on doing. I'd personally recommend Jonathan Beckett's channel, where he has videos on GPS flight planning and radionavigation in smaller planes. If you prefer general aviation I'd highly recommend Little Navmap, and as other posters have said sites like Simbrief and Skyvector are available too.
