When will we be able to add AIRWAYS?

[captain420 3,099]

I have a lot of routes that have airways in them when using Simbrief, is there a way to add airways into LNM that I'm unaware of?

[abranpuko 369]

Why would we need to use an airway if there is no real traffic? 

🤔

Copy and paste flightplan from Simbrief into LNM "new flightplan route", the airways are shown. Don't forget to enable the "show airways" icon for map display.

LNM route calculation uses airways automatically considering one-way and altitude restrictions. Why add them manually?

Edit: As JustAnotherPilot mentioned you can past the route description from SimBrief. This will also take over the airways.

Mainly because you want to adjust the LMN/Simbrief/Navigraph generated routes (if e.g. you want to pass over a specific point - a friends town - which is NOT in the Auto generated routes).

Secondarily, are you still looking at the possibility to import Simbrief FP's (and possibly Airframes)?

You can already to all that:

Flight plan import is planned for a (far) future update.

For now export the plans as X-Plane FMS in SimBrief and load this into LNM. I suggest X-Plane FMS since this format allows to save and load all procedure information. Other formats like MSFS PLN are too limited.
I suppose SimBrief does not support saving of LNMPLN yet? Did anyone request this from them?

Airframe import will not happen. Too many differences.

Still not sure if I understand the request. Maybe you're looking for something like this: https://github.com/albar965/littlenavmap/issues/357
