Haroon,
I am not familiar with this software, but I have always wondered why anyone would purchase something like this. I use Cirrus to check weather, and weather maps. I also use http://weather.unisys.com for more detailed weather. Ofcourse I always get a FAA briefing. If my IFR flight is more than 4 hours I plan a fuel stop. To do this I use www.airnav.com As far as flight planning I dont do much, since I usually file direct...and almost always get it. After you file for a flight and get a change to copy, I try to file this changed routing next time I fly the same route. For example, I fly from VQQ(Cecile Field, Jacksonville, FL) to UIN(Quincy, IL). This flight takes a fuel stop. The stopover point is usually SYI(since the fuel there is $2.19/gal, from www.airnav.com). If I file direct I always get rerouted to AYS then direct to SYI. This is because of a MOA just out of JAX about 20 miles. Therefore I always file for the first leg VQQ AYS SYI. The second leg puts me thru the StLouis ClassB. When I file SYI UIN direct, I always get it, then as I approach StLouis, I am rerouted to VLA which keeps me out of ClassB. Therefore on future flights I file SYI VLA UIN, because I now know that is the route I will be eventually given. I know this may be long winded, but my point is, there is other more useful(in my opinion) info on the internet. Just remember when you file direct and are given that clearance, it means exactly that...fly in a direct line.
