Feature Request: Setting restrictions manually

[reece0306 0]

I would like a feature where you can set the restrictions on a waypoint by right clicking and pressing that option. Would be cool if atc needs a specific restriction. This means that people flying aircraft with no fmc can know when to descend.

This is quite often requested but with the given elevation profile calculation not doable. Way too much effort, sorry.

Maybe in a far future version but with limitations (no zig-zag up and down).

Then how did you calculate the descent profile if you load an arrival that has constraints built in. Is there a difference between loading an arrival that has constraints and making our own constraints instead.

The constraints in procedures are always climbing on departure and descending on approach. Either the aircraft performance defines the climb/descent path angles or the constraints.

I can add constraints like step climbs within these limits but everything else is barely doable. So, no wild up and down.
