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.
