Version: 2.6.6

I have added VFR points as useropints. The problem is that i add them to the plan but they are added as coordinates instead with their names in vPilot.

Is there any way to have the userpoints exported with their names instead of coordinates?

I need that at least for vPilot in order to have a human readable FP for the ATCo.

LNM saves coordinates for most export formats where it is unknown if they support user names.

I can change this for vPilot. Can you give me more information what is supported? Maximum length of name? Are spaces and/or special characters allowed?
If unknown I can just save a simplified name.

Noted.

That would be cool, but the issue here is that userpoints have whatever name you give them to. So nobody guarantees that it would be the official names, but that is up to the user to be responsible.

I guess it would be useful to have an option for either names or coordinates (as you do now).

Thanks!

p.s. You were right. There is no reason to keep an addon map elsewhere. LNV is more than enough.

 

Just looked at the vpilot format and it uses a route description string. This does not allow to use arbitrary waypoint names. So unfortunately this cannot be changed. Either the waypoints are official ones or coordinates.
