Is there a 3rd party flight plan maker that doesn’t require a link to the sim?
I am an Xbox pilot and would like to share some of the flight plans I have created. It would be nice if I could create a flight plan with a third party app that doesn’t require a link to the sim that I could then share for PC pilots. If not, then I can just give out the custom waypoint decimal numbers for LAT and LONG as I was going to do that for Xbox pilots anyway.
Ever heard of LittleNavMap?

It does link to the MSFS. But you can deactivate it.
I saw something online earlier this year about an app that’s going to do that and more, can’t remember the name but I’ll see if I can find it - I was looking for the same thing also
I’ve got it, and I went through the steps to download some sort of database but it can’t see the airports in the flight plan I loaded.
EDIT: after reading the reply from @Watsi01 again, I dug through the Settings and found the one I needed to switch on.
I am no longer seeing the errors about the airports. Maybe I should makes some space on my laptop to try and load MSFS 2020 on it just for the link into the database. I sincerely doubt this gaming laptop from 2014 will have the juice to run the game well enough even to use the World Map flight planning features, but maybe it will work.
Thanks everyone for your quick responses! I would’ve seen them earlier but I was knee deep in xeno acid blood playing Aliens: Fireteam Elite with a friend.
İ also tried download msfs to my laptop which I know it won’t run due to specs but only Link the database. After the installation i gave msfs a try and launched the game. Logged in with my Xbox account. And start a flight.
After i was sure that my laptop can’t run the game. İ closed it and run game on Xbox and saw My flight log Has gone.
Just wanted to add be careful about it. I don’t know if I selected something I should not have.
There are plenty of videos about how to use it for flight planning on youtube.

Will it output a flight plan that PC users can load into their game?
Thanks for the advice! Considering that the logbook and flight log is stored on the cloud and tends to not log flights and drop the entire log on a week, I don’t put much value in it. It is currently short ten hours according to the number it shows for time and the stat of total time flying in seconds. The achievements would be nice, but they have no real value and the pleasure I receive from them last about as long as the sound they make when they pop.
My skill in flying (or lack thereof 
) is a better representation of my abilities in game.
I use Simbrief.
Someone correct mere here, but above X-Plane 11, shouldn’t you be seeing Microsoft Flight Simulator, and not FSX?
