Default Flight planning software the accounts for winds ?

Most of the flight planning software that I have used only offers two
options for route planning, 1) direct or 2) airway.

I have seen one option that does check winds and offers altitude options,
but it's like an after thought, instead of an integrated function of
planning the route.

My actual question is, what software is out there for GA flight planning
that will take winds into account, in both the lateral and vertical, to
automatically plan a route for me?

I'd like 4 options the software to allow me to select from:

1) Direct
2) Airways
3) Fastest
4) Least amount of fuel

Heck, I'd like to hit one button and have all 4 plot on the map with the
flight plan data and let me choose which one I want to file.


It already exists, it's called DUATS.

Why are you cross-posting to six different groups?
