What FSFPicker does

It proposes real airline and cargo routes that are flown today, for the aircraft types you fly in your simulator (Microsoft Flight Simulator - MSFS): route, airline, aircraft type, distance. Everything comes from public data (Wikipedia route tables, US DOT T-100, OurAirports); nothing is invented. The data is rebuilt about monthly; the date is in the footer. It covers airliners and regional turboprops, not general aviation.

Three ways to get a flight

Want to fly something totally random?

Click Surprise me on the Home page. You get random real flights for your fleet, so set the fleet in Settings first.

Want something random, but from your own airports, or with filters such as regions?

Click Choose a flight on the Home page and go through the steps: aircraft, airports, then preferences such as duration, regions and terrain.

Want to fly a vibe you have in mind?

Click Flight by vibe and type the vibe into the text box ("European summer hop", "long haul from London"). An AI turns the text into filters and picks flights that match it and your settings; every proposal is still a real route. The steps of Choose a flight (airports, scenery, preferences) play no part in a vibe flight, and stay as you left them. A short bot check runs before the text is sent.

Filters and preferences

What is a filter, what is a preference?

Filters are never broken: aircraft type, flight duration, regions, route geometry (over the Arctic, ocean crossing), the avoid list, a description.

Preferences bend: preferred departure and destination, scenery airports, terrain tags. Proposals favour them; when few routes fit, the preference is relaxed and the results say so.

Fleet, scenery, avoid list (Settings)

How do I add my aircraft and my airport scenery, so the site saves and uses them?

Go to Settings. Tick the aircraft you own and want to use. For scenery, type an ICAO or IATA code or a city or airport name into the text box and choose the airport, or press Quick input and paste a list of codes. Press Save, and both are kept in your browser.

• Fleet: the aircraft step then shows only your add-ons, and Surprise me uses them.
• Scenery: proposals favour flights between your scenery airports.
• Avoid list: airports, countries and regions that are never proposed.

How do I leave an aircraft or airport out of a flight?

Untick it while going through the steps, or remove it from the list in Settings. Export and Import move your settings to another browser or device.

Then what?

I have a proposal. What now?

• Open in SimBrief opens a prefilled dispatch (free SimBrief account needed). With several types on the card, the first one is used.
• Copy route copies EGLL EDDV A20N for your sim's flight planner or your notes.
• Routes change. If realism matters, check the airline's timetable before you fly.

Privacy

What is stored, and where?

No account, no analytics. All your settings (fleet, scenery, avoid list, appearance) are stored in this browser only, never on a server. Clearing the site's data removes them; Export in Settings keeps a copy.

Nothing leaves your browser except for Flight by vibe: the text you type is sent to this site's Cloudflare Worker, which passes it to a language model hosted by Cloudflare, and the page loads Cloudflare Turnstile. The Worker stores no description: it keeps a daily count of model calls and caches answers under a hash of the text.
