Trouble with the built in flight planner is it's not great for inputting waypoints. FSNav is superb for that side of things, then you can always
export the plan to various other formats, (FS, 767PIC, PMDG etc.) and just load the plan, set the gate pos. and away. The only thing I have
noticed in fact with creating a plan in FSNav is it's tendancy to screw up on gate positions, it's routinely put me right next to the active at
SFO, in a building (and boy can this get annoying, "you crashed-re-load-you crashed" ad infinitum.) And even in one case at a gate I could
not possible get away from because I was stuck between 2 other aircraft and if I'd pushed back my wings would've hit theirs.
That said of course the workaround is to set your gate position using FS, then create the plan in FSNav, then when you go out to the
menu again and load it (which I have to as that's the only way FSHotseat works) you say no when it asks if you want to move the plane.
