Feature Request: Ability to Create Custom No-Fly Zones in SimBrief

I would like to suggest a feature for SimBrief: the ability for users to create custom no-fly zones when generating a flight plan.

This would be very useful in situations where a pilot wants to manually avoid a specific area for operational, event, training, or personal preference reasons. For example, it could help avoid restricted airspace, conflict areas, certain FIRs, or regions a virtual airline may not wish to overfly.

A possible implementation could be:

  • Allow users to draw or define a custom area on the map

  • Mark that area as a no-fly zone

  • Have SimBrief automatically generate routes that avoid that zone where possible

This would add a lot of flexibility and realism, especially for virtual airline operations and custom flight planning scenarios.

Thank you for considering this suggestion.

If you go to the SimBrief flight planner and scroll down to route calculator, you can set it to avoid areas.
