what flight planning software do you use?

I use DUATS, either Cirrus, Web-based, or direct via telnet. It works fine and
it's free.

However, I also echo the other responses here, that even with all the
computer tools available, it's still fun to plan a flight manually, draw the
lines on the sectionals, and consider all the options. Earlier this summer I
was stuck with no computer and planned a 600 mile flight with just a plotter
and an E6B, and amazingly it came out accurate to within a few minutes even
without a current wind forecast.

Hi,

I was wondering about the following:

1) how many people actually use any kind of flight planning software
(VFR and IFR)?
2) If you do use it, which one do you use?
3) how would you rate it?

Thanks!
