I am new to LNM. Installed it on a computer that only has MSFS. I don't need the moving map function so I didn't install SimConnect. I enabled the Navigraph option so I can create flightplans for MSFS: that's all I want to do.

Things work quite okay so far apart from editing the plan I created. I can't select and drag existing waypoints and I can't select the line to drag it somewhere to add a waypoint. All that does is move the map...! I have Edit Flight Plan On Map enabled. The waypoints (all user waypoint) do look grey: maybe they are locked somehow? And the mouse pointer turns into a + above the lines but clicking and dragging simply moves the map.

What am I missing?

EDIT
Bummer... the plan won't show up in the G1000 of the C172 so... no use in this at all then. I did see the plan in the MSFS planner (though it looked a bit odd) but what's the use if I can't see the plan while flying...? 😕

I suppose you already turned "Flight Plan" -> "Edit flight plan on map" on. Otherwise the cursor would not change above the waypoints. User defined waypoints (green rectangles) cannot be disabled. They do not turn grey and can always be edited. The only limitation is that you cannot move or delete waypoints which are part of a procedure.

Can you send me a screenshot of the situation?

I'll have a look at the flight plan issues but I'm currently working on the scenery library. Flight plans are one of the next tasks.

Edit: You have to click and relase to move or add new points BTW.

LOL Yes, that was it! I clicked and held...! Click - release works! Thanks! 😀

Concerning the flightplan issue: turns out MSFS calls the airport Bjorli ENBI and LNM calls it ENLB... So different codes for the exact same airport. This clearly is due to LNM not yet reading the MSFS database... I created a new plan using two airports that do have the exact same ICAO code in MSFS and LNM and it worked! The plan shows up in MSFS including all user created waypoints! Awesome! So problem solved!

Looking forward to the MSFS update of LNM!

Drag and drop is probably a bit misleading. Should better call it click and move or something.🙂

ENLB is the correct name if I look at the latest Navigraph data. Latest X-Plane and P3Dv5 also use ENLB.🤔

Then MS/Asobo made a mistake there...!

Or at least update the tutorial https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.8/en/TUTORIALVFR.html to not refer to drag and drop, e.g. "You can also use the drag and drop feature to move points". Thankfully I eventually found this thread 😅

Hmmm. Normally it's not so difficult and takes two or three clicks to notice that this is working different.🤷‍♂️
Will check the manual and make it more clear.
