In regards to the comment about paying for an EFB like Foreflight or Garmin Pilot, if you have an Android phone or tablet, there’s another app out there called Avare which you can hook into MSFS (or use for real flying, I do) to learn how to use for flight planning and then how to use it in flight. It’s free to use (but nice to donate a bit if you use it regularly). It has free downloads of all the up to date charts and AF/D (airport/facility Data) information for the US.
Granted, it’s not obvious on what to do with it. But, if you’re interested, just ask, I and others can suggest things to do and what information you might need or want to know in particular phases of flight.
I wrote up instructions here on how to connect it with MSFS. It’s not as polished as either of the other two, but it has most if not all the functionality you need. (The one thing I haven’t figured out is how to get a ground height along flight plan chart).
