In FSX, you could pull up a map that would show your flight path after you ending a flight.
Does MSFS have that? I see the VFR map, but it doesn’t show my flight path I took during my flight.
Thanks.

It is currently not a feature in the sim.
There is a wishlist topic on this that you can contribute to: Flight Analysis - #8 by MrLambowski
If you are on PC, then LittleNavMap, Volanta, or SimToolkitPro can show that.

Thanks for the info. I will vote for this

I wrote a free program that does this. PilotPathRecorder. You can download install at https://flightsim.to/file/4603/pilotpathrecorder

Littlenavmap would be far superior than any flight analysis tool in the Sim in the future.

+1 for LNM, it has a good flight trails feature. Check it out OP, its a completely free program filled with amazing features.

Funny there has to be a wishlist request for something that existed over a decade ago.

Yes. I voted for this feature since I would rather have MSFS do everything and not have to run other programs.
I hope they view the wish list and try to find some of the easiest ones to fix and not just the ones that get the most votes.
Something i think, WHY didn’t they use the blackshark AI for terrain, and just overlay it onto FSX? Keep everything but the graphic part?
I admit MSFS looks great (scenery wise), but after 2 years… there’s still a lot of fixes they want to fix.
I would think with the new 4000 video cards coming out, the new 13xxx intel CPUs, we should be able to MAX out all sliders and more…since hardware generation is almost 3 generations from when MSFS came out. (but i think they lowered visuals to get this onto the XBOX…and since the xbox can not be upgraded…i doubt graphic will get better.
Take away the terrain and photograpghy, would MSFS be more feature rich as FSX from 10 years ago?

the thing is, they dont do as good a job as 3rd parties. this has always been the case.
default aircraft are garbage. default airports are garbage. default atc is garbage.. why would you want them to do a garbage job of another thing
I use FSHub which uses LRM tool for Landing Rate Analysis

Agreed and I’m starting to see this sentiment more and more in this forum. There’s a long list of low hanging fruit and relatively easy fixes and wish list items that are completely ignored because the team seems to be narrowly focused on the big ticket items like weather.
I emphasize “relatively easy” because every time this issue is raised there’s always someone tripping over themselves to be a contrarian and shout “nothing is easy! Programming is hard!” Like yeah, we know nothing is “easy” but you don’t need to be a programmer to know that it’s easier to create a “favorite aircraft” folder in the aircraft selection menu than it is to overhaul the entire ATC architecture.
The global map UI for example is long overdue for attention. It needs a number of “easy” fixes.
- Let us drop pins to bookmark favorite locations
- Save our latest settings so we don’t have to constantly filter POIs, runway types, clouds, etc. every time we restart the sim
- Give is an option to clear “new” location icons that add massive visual clutter. We just had the first CU and I don’t even know what was updated because the entire map has “new!” icons, which completely defeats the purpose of highlighting updated locations in the first place
I could go on but these are small things that would make the sim immensely more enjoyable that shouldn’t be put on hold until the team has a perfected reproducing global weather patterns, and certainly shouldn’t take two plus years to fix with no relief in sight.
Little navs great for that 
I’ll chip in with Volanta! It’s great!
Isn’t this what they did? I believe there was (and perhaps is) a ton of FSX code
Check out Tacview at tacview.net. It’s pricey (USD $29.99 to $69.99) but a powerful flight analysis tool.
