Hi,
In order to get the "connect to FS" selectable, I need to select a flight plan. If I only want to flight VFR, how do I connect to the sim?

Pierre

You need a flight plan with at least one waypoint, even for VFR flights. (Waypoints do not need to be published fixes or Navaids; they can be user waypoints based on visual landmarks, as long as you have the geographical coordinates.)

The "I" in SID is the same as the "I" in IFR, so not really, but you can start your flight as an IFR flight and then ask FSS to switch to VFR later.
(or the other way round: Depart from a small airfield using VFR, switch to IFR while airborne, arrive at a big airport using a STAR)
