This is the best thing to happen for serious flight sim buffs since the introduction of joysticks!
At the moment sky vector are producing quality airways charts, worldwide, in beta testing. At present only the USA has airport charts but this is due to change soon.
These charts come in Hi, Lo and VFR and are amazing quality. This is quality stuff and all free. Even Godzone is fully covered. Awesome!!

Greg gave me many charts covering New Zealand- i was going to scan VNC 1:250 000 and put was going to put them into A4 format , all my scanner can handle but this is a great start you really can't get lost now .

Super find Steve!

Awesome - what a great find!

I have all the NZ charts but it really is hit and miss when flying in other countries. This is just so easy.

Thanks for pointing this out! This really makes things easy both for real-world flight planning purposes, and for usage in the simulator!

Exactly how a military pilot would say it sometimes

a recent C-17 crew and cripes even David Bannerman .... how did he miss that runway

Brilliant find, though I still like the paper charts this resource will allow planning for the rest of the world. Great!

shows the usual 3 weather stations as well. Hold pointer over a instant TAF

Watch the help video as well. Very intersting. Pitty it doesnt have NZ airport infomation

It will also be kept up to date with the 28 day AIRAC cycle.

Yes, that was a great find, and it is a very useful website. Very good for flight planning, so now there are no excuses for not doing things properly !!

Thanks for posting the link and details, very helpful.

smooth landings.
