I decided to create a random flight generator using only data from msfs 2020 as random flight database didn't fit my needs. I shared it here for anyone who is looking for what i wanted. Simply unpack the zip and the exe file should work.
Since there are now translations i'm looking for translators to add translations for more languages. Contact me if you're interested. (ON HOLD UNTIL I START WORK AGAIN)
Note that there is a feature that is not directly obvious: if you click on an icao or airport name in the departure/arrival list or flight table the airport info tab will display information about the selected airport.
Contact me or comment if there are any features you'd like to see or if you find any bugs. You can also contact me if there is another application you'd like to see.
(Note: with the currently used algorithm it is very difficult to generate flights during day/night if an arrival location is chosen, hence this feature is only available if departures or no locations are chosen)
Just a heads up: I'm currently going into a busy period so I'll put this project on hold for a little (not abandoning it) until I've got some more time to work on it.
Update: I have finally been able to play a little bit as of late. However I'm still very busy but hope to be able to work on this project more regularly again over the summer break. (This project was one of my first qt projects and it is an absolute mess so it'll need to be rebuilt from the ground up basically)
What I was looking for.
One question if it is possible...?
Can you modify or load a custom airport base...?
So if I have 200 ICAOs that I would like to fly to.
Can you do random with those 200 ICAO alone...?
Thank you.

Note: even with no arrival/departure locations chosen, day flights for Australia and Western Coast of North America never are chosen randomly due to time zones not being correct.

Nothing happens when I click on the exe in W11 asif I need a script to use it but I can't see any scrpts to use . Perhaps it has been flagged as a virus by Defender?

Hey How do I select only one Airline I want flight plans from? Is this possible?

I don't know why. But if I set the departure airport as EGLL, it won't generate any flights. Besides that, everything's good.

Thank you. This is wonderful. LTFM - Istanbul Airport (The Biggest Airport In Turkey) is not in the database. Can you add it please?

Very nice tool ! I love it ! Thank you.
The choice of the minimum runway length should be added.
With a 4K screen, the "Airport Info" part is unreadable because the lines overlap whereas it is good with a Full HD screen.

How to update the database with new airports, i have the new flyby wire headquarters airport (KFBW) How can i add it to this generator mod?

Ok i got it now, just edit and add new airport. This mod is prefect for pilots that want to fly to random airports instead of selecting always the same airport that we know.

But I have a quick question.
Is there a possibility of having an option or we want runways that are suitable for airliners?
Because when I generate a flight. When I arrived, I could see that it was a runway reserved for small XD planes.

I'll see what i can do but it may take a while as i'm currently more focused on a different project. But i'm going to rework this one from the ground up afterwards.

Great little tool. Out of interest where does "Save Data to Text" actually get saved to? Also a wee suggestion:
3 years ago
I'll look into adding that when i finish my current project (see description) and rework this one. Hopefully not too long in the future.
The save data to text should create a txt file in the same directory as the exe. (It saves database data)
