Plan To Route Utility V1.0

This utility converts XML flight plans (.pln) into the .rt2 format used by add-on FMC routes, including PMDG. It only processes XML-pln inputs, creates an .ini file after the first conversion to store folders, and the resulting files may lack runway data or some airways, prompting DIRECT routing in the FMC.

Flight Simulation Addon Tracker Utility

By Tobias Wagner, this tool maintains a list of favorite airports and exports the data as a .kml file with folders by country. Users add airports by ICAO using New and Autofill, or manually input decimal latitude/longitude when data is unavailable; it links to Sam High's FSXDB for extra airport information.
