FliteStar is offered in two software versions to provide the
flexibility of features you need suited to your flight planning needs:

GPS upload capability
Point-and-click as well as automatic routing
Ability to create custom flight chart themes
Terrain avoidance flight planning option
Color-coded elevation information in the planview and profile views
Depiction of Restricted airspace
Profile view of flight route with weather and winds
Optimized routing based on winds and aircraft performance
Automatic avoidance of restricted and TFR airspace
Weight and balance, plus CG location calculations
Rubber Band routing

Color-coded elevation information that can be viewed in both the planview and profile views
Auto load function makes installation and NavData updates incredibly easy
The Basic Model (which can be used in all versions of FliteStar)
contains less detailed performance data . However in most cases it still
provides highly accurate time and fuel burn results. When information is
entered into the basic model format, the FliteStar application interpolates or
extrapolates additional data points for the given weight or performance
settings. With 5 rows of information and three power settings available for
each weight setting, the interpolation can be highly accurate but not optimal
for all altitudes and flying conditions.
