How are you trying to plan? From a flight aware flight plan?
I use SimBrief now (suggested from VA) to create a flight plan, you just have to make sure those navaids are correctly in the game. You then can copy/paste from SB into IF as shown above.
OnlineFlightPlanner.org is also good
Hi Brandon im just doing it on IF connecting fixes.
I logged here to figuere out a better way
Oh yes read the tutorial that will take you forever. Type in all the fixes into the search bar then hit ok. Part 1 will explain how to get the route from FlightAware.

Click on the flight you want then scroll down to flight data and it should be there.
Well done on the tutorial, Brandon.

Thanks for the tutorial Brandon. This got a bit buried because of the #support spam. Very useful, indeed!

a question. when you start a flight, you can choose the departure boarding gate but at the airport of arrival I do not see that option Can you set an arrival gate at the destination airport or can you just for departure?

At the moment it is just for departure, would be an interesting feature down the line.
I’m pretty sure that FlightAware will only give you the flight plans for flights that cross the US airspace at some point (example: MEX-CDG). If you still want accurate flight plans for other countries, I’d recommend using simBrief. :)

Yep in that case your going to have to go to simbrief for the route then. Make sure you’re comparing the route to current weather though. Simbrief only brings up previously approved routes to choose from.

This has been a huge help! Being able to copy and paste the flight plan into IF is an amazing feature. Ive been trying to figure out all the common arrivals for LAX., Ironman1, Hollywood1. This is great!
My device just crashes when I enter a long flight plan. The graphic settings don’t have an impact on the crash. I think it might be my connection.
