Filing a vfr flight plan is still very important for search and rescue so they know what color airplane, how many people, fuel and contact information. Ron

If you still want to activate a Vfr flight plan you would also need to file a Vfr flight plan and then open and close it with flight service. If you are on flight following there is really no reason to also do a Vfr flight plan. If you go down the search and rescue timeline is much better on flight following than FSS waiting until you are 30 minutes overdue at your destination and then they start looking.
