Issue with MSFS flight plan export.

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to create a VFR flight plan for use navigating by dead reckoning. In order to know what each waypoint is (so I can ideantify it visually), and to know how long each leg is, I'm manually calculating the times and editing the waypoint name in LNM like so.

(this website is shockingly bad for posting images btw, can't upload, can't resize, what is this 1990?)

Anyway. The LNM save file looks like this, and has the waypoint names included.

But if I export to an MSFS .pln file it truncates the waypoint names to this, which is not at all useful.

If I manually correct the waypoint names and load the flight plan in MSFS they are displayed correctly in the NavLog, so it doesn't seem as if it's any limitation in MSFS that requires the names to be truncated.

Could this be fixed please?
