A friend of mine gave me one of his old 777 long haul flight plans, and there were parts that would literally trace a semi-circle around certain areas considered hostile territory or no-fly zones. It would be cool if SimBrief could route around any of those active zones, in-line with any use of historical dates when able, as well as active warning areas, which get a pirep.

This is already possible. Under route calculator section if you expand it, there is an “Avoid” section (see below). What I think is missing is that you can’t save these to be one of the selectable options from the dropdown as far as I can tell. I came here to feature request that aspect of it.
