I tried AVPLAN in past but gave up as not as user friendly as OzR.
However I would like to try AVPLAN again if Bevan or someone can point to some improvement in usability, or some good education material.
This OzR change in ownership would seem to be Bevan's golden opportunity. Hope he grasps it by addressing the negatives of AVPLAN whilst retaining the positives.
I am keen to support local business, but AVPLAN needs to improve compared to my last try some years ago.
What exactly is your struggle with Avplan, and what are the negativities you are referring to?
There are lots of videos on their YouTube channel,
and from personal experience, their support is way better than OzR.
Functionality wise, both products can do more/less the same things. As with any new product, you will need to spend some time learning and adapting to the new product.
I use it both for VFR and IFR..
