It is very straight forward. Add the aircraft starting and ending airports as one of the tags that IF cycles through on live for aircraft. It might look something like this:
One of the most amazing parts of global is the ability to fly around the world (obviously), and explore new scenery. In order to see where someone is flying to and from, you need to open up the in game map. A lot of the time, people don’t include their starting airport in their flight plan, and there is no way to know where they started without using live flight. In essence, this feature makes it easier to get this info, and it allows us to see what part of the globe our fellow live members are exploring today.
Thanks for reading, if you feel as strongly as I do about this idea please take your time to vote!
I really like this idea but the problem is not everybody inputs a route properly. To do it properly you hit your departure airport when still on the ground there, then remove the WPT from the flight plan before you then hitting fixes to go to your destination. If you don’t do that then it will show your origin as WPT instead of whatever airport you departed from.
I was thinking the same thing. The IF logbook is able to keep track of where you start and end without a proper flight plan filing so I figured a similar set of software could be used here. Destination airpots might be harder if they aren’t in the flight plan, although most of the time the last waypoint someone uses is close enough to the actual airport they are going to for the game to figure it out.
Obviously someone flying VFR would have a special tag that says “VFR”, since they won’t have a set arriving airport.
More and more people start to add their route as their display name to show it to their fellow pilots
We could have both display name + route if this feature would be added
That’s what I mean! Pilots shouldn’t have to use their display name area to put the routes in, there should be a separate part which is automatically generated following the FPL
