Strange "USR/USER" waypoints in the flight plan

And also on the g3000 too please.

Those USR/USER waypoints are just annoying to see and kinda ruins the immersion for me.

Yea, they can be hidden - we hide them from our DIR TO page on the CJ4 right now. Problem is, since the autopilot is going to fly to them, hiding them from the map might be more confusing than not. They are legitimate parts of the procedure, it just doesn't lookup the right name right now.

Different. But, it appears arbitrary how they named them in the code - they're both waypoints with no ICAO ident, so when ident is blank, it fills in USR or USER. USER is how the code is written for activating an approach or direct to, while the separate code that names the unidentified approach procedure waypoint assigns USR. This stuff is in the flight plan manager and not in a specific FMS.

I agree with this (my emphasis in bold).  If these are actual waypoints on an approach, hiding them will make things very confusing when flying the approach.  Please don't hide them in that case, I'll be pulling my hair out trying to figure out what the aircraft is doing. For the starting point of a direct to...fine.

Asobo needs to get rid of them or do something about this issue.

By all means you can go over to the MSFS forum and ask them to do that there.

Let's not bug the Working Title team to make changes that will actually make it harder for people who are trying to navigate.

I have already done that. I even made a link in my 1st post so that users who care about this issue can click on it and also upvote.

I'm kind of done asking Asobo to fix things at this point.  At this point their "fix" might be to just break the Garmins further and then mark it as solved, like they did with night lighting and controller sensitivity pages in the last update.

Revolt, that problem still remains!
When starting the approach appears in the flight plan "user" and the aircraft diverts the route to the runway.

Hi:

Sorry to bring up this old post but I'm having these issues with USR/USER fixes being added into my flight plan.  Is there a fix for them?  It really screws up the flight.
