Help Us Grow

SimLetsFly is free, built by one developer (& a lot of Claude 😄), and relies on word of mouth. If it's added something to your sim flying, sharing it with a fellow sim pilot is the biggest thing you can do to keep it going.

SimLetsFly is free and always will be. I built it to give something back to the flight sim community that has given me so much over the years. If you enjoy it, sharing it with a fellow sim pilot is the best way to keep it going. — Brian

Longer format — works well as a standalone post
Sharing a free tool I've been using to break out of flying the same routes — SimLetsFly (simletsfly.com) Works with MSFS 2020, MSFS 2024, and X-Plane 12. You set your criteria — distance range, region of the world, airport size, runway length, ILS requirement, heading direction — and it randomly picks a flight that matches. Hit the button again to get a different one, or lock the departure and randomize only the arrival. Results include: - Full flight brief with live METAR/TAF weather - Interactive route map - Vertical profile with TOC/TOD and live winds aloft - Direct export to MSFS 2020, MSFS 2024, or X-Plane 12 Free account gets you a personal logbook where you can rate routes, add pilot notes, mark flights completed, and track overall stats. No install, works in any browser. Originally a Windows desktop app (LetsFly), now rewritten from the ground up as a web app.
