Can I export into iFly route format?

[flyblueskies 143]

The iFly 747 takes a .route format. EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) is able to export into this format, but I don't see that option for the latest Little NavMap...is there a way to do this? If not, is it possible to add this?

Nope, not yet. I'll check the format if I can add this to the next big release.

Is the iFly .route export format available yet?

Nope. Meh. Seems this got buried somehow.🤔
Will try for 2.8: https://github.com/albar965/littlenavmap/issues/817

Edit: Can't the iFly import also other formats?

No I do not think so with the new advanced version for P3D5.

Tried an older version they used for FSX that was already in the export options but that did not work.

Here is a clip from the docs.

1. Introduction
This document describes the format of our flight plan file (.route). We strongly recommend that third-party software export the route data ONLY, and not export the SID/STAR/APP data, because users navdata may not contain the same as per SID/STAR/APP in the flight plan file, and that may cause some unknown issues.

2. Various navigation data file extensions
All pre-defined flight plan files (.route) are stored in FLTPLAN folder, which is located under the directory “Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\iFlyData\navdata\FLTPLAN”
All these files can be opened with Notepad (a Windows accessory) or any text editor.

Thanks for the answer @Daveo

I can add the .route format. Looks doable for the next release. Just to be sure: We're talking about files which look like the one below:

[RTE]
ORIGIN_AIRPORT=KMFR
DEST_AIRPORT=KORD

[RTE.0]
RouteName=
Name=BRUTE
Latitude=42.407528
Longitude=-122.722533
CrossThisPoint=0
Heading=0
Speed=0
Altitude=0
Frequency=
FrequencyID=

...

Sorry, no. It's on the list for the next 2.8 but work has not started yet. I'm digging into the most complicated issues first. Currently finishing SimBrief import and export.
