RFoV V8.5 · Flight Desk

One place to choose and prepare the next flight.

Discovery now decides what is worth flying; Dispatch becomes the briefing stage after you make a choice. Aircraft intelligence, time, weather, Flight DNA, Atlas history, Fog of War and expeditions all feed one coherent workflow.

RFoV treats your latest recorded arrival as the natural starting point for the next discovery flight. You can still type a different origin at any time.

Why this flight
  • Selected from RFoV flight selection
This is the old Dispatch function folded into Discovery: accept the idea, take a concise briefing, then choose how much planning help you want.

One Director now handles the choice. Dispatch begins only after you accept a flight, so there is no second competing recommendation board.

Build towards the frontier

The generator starts from the selected airport and favours unvisited, distinctive fields while sizing each leg for the aircraft profile and planning speed you choose.

Current planning assumption: Auto · Slow / Vintage GA · 100 kt. Use the speed override when RFoV does not recognise a new or unusual airframe.
