I too use the rfinder website to get an IFR route. I then plot it with Navbox Pro Plan, then use either the Austrian AIS website or [url]http://www.cfmu.eurocontrol.be to check its acceptabilty for Eurocontrol. Navbox Proplan gives me a Plog and a printed ATS Flight Plan.
However before filing it or checking the route's availability I check the planned route on a Chart. This is because I can remember trialing Flitestar and it did not know about weekend airways or one way airways.
I then carry the chart on the aircraft during the flight because invariably I will be given a reroute by ATC.
As I said the "new" HI/LO Aerad charts were a backwood step and I found the Jeppesens in Europe very hard to read. That is why I am glad Aerad is bringing back LO airway charts.
