I just found out that Garmin has a tool: Garmin: SOFTWARE TOOL: Checklist Editor Updates & Downloads that can create an ".ace" file that one can load into a physical unit via the SD card slot. Is this something we can use for the RXP simulated unit also?

Super! Don't know what I'd do without LNM. Thanks for taking your time to make this wonderful tool! 🙂

If I add custom points to plan by right click and "add position to flight plan" option, is it possible to move this marker via the mouse somehow. I only found the way to edit the LAT/LONG and no way to drag the point to another location. Is it possible?

Hello, with OSM at least if I zoom in all the way the plane/heli icon is not scaling properly. Only testing now with helis but reporting just in case.

That sounds promising but the taxi routing would be particularly helpful after landing if one is not too familiar with the airport. The search with highlight will already be very helpful so thanks for looking into this.

I was wondering if it's possible to search for parking facilities or stands at airports? Also, I was looking at past suggestions about adding a taxi routing/aid facility to LNM, which would be a brilliant addition and wondering if it's still completely off the table? Would be very helpful to just type in taxiway instructions and stand number from ATC into a dialog box and have it auto-route you from current pos on rwy exit to parking stand. I know I'm dreaming but it would elevate LNM to a whole new level. 🙂

OK, interesting. Just tried now using FL350 and NATV with fresh download of tracks. It gives and error: "Nothing found for NATV. Ignoring." If I type only "V" it works fine. This is for the above flight plan. I have the same settings as you. Not sure why it's not taking "NATV". None of the tracks work with this notation. If I use letters only it works. This is with XP12 database if that matters.

I'm actually trying to import (copy/paste) a flight plan created in Simbrief where the current track Eastbound that is used for the flight plan is marked as NATV. So it's using track V. I've downloaded the tracks in LNM, track V is there but when I paste the plan into the planner (edit flight plan window) it doesn't understand the NATV shorthand. Is there any way to indicate which track to use so I don't have to type the points in manually?

It selects points over several tracks. I remember it used to do a much better job at this in the past. I'm using LNM v3.0.9.

Thanks for the help. Yes, once I got on the taxi way it got active FMS in green. However, I have question. I had to modify the arrival just as I was already inbound to the initial fix and after selecting the new arrival everything got cleared out from the rest of the flight plan. The new arrival didn't display either. What gives?

I'm trying to figure out how to arm LNAV and VNAV in the Asobo Longitude (with WT G5000) so that FMS and V ALTS gets announced on the FMA in white. I was able to do it once but not again. Here is what I do on lineup: press the TOGA button on the side of the throttle lever then press the AT button on the back of the lever. On the FMA I see TO, TO in green and ALT S in white (also TO in white for the AT). If I arm LNAV (press NAV) then the green TO switches to green FMS. However, once I saw a green TO and white FMS below when arming LNAV but I can't replicate it again. What should be the correct way to do this?

Yes, I know of the available methods and understand that at the moment that's all there is. Just to explain the use-case better, I use LNM widget in MSFS in a small window in the corner of the screen to provide taxi information. In this small window the current label config is too much but when I switch to the main LNM window I'd like to see all details so if this quick switch can be added in the future it would be wonderful.

Hello, is it possible to hide all labels quickly on the map? I only want to see the flight plan line and my plane, no labels of any kind to declutter the map even when zoomed in. Is it possible?

Just a quick ? Is it possible to delete individual measurement lines? I have a lot of custom PBD waypoints plus some extra measurements and don't want to clear all from the map, just a few. I thought it was possible somehow, but I can't figure it out.

No worries, I understand. I'll just have to use the old-fashioned way to calculate my own TOD. 🙂

Hi Alex, like I said the scenario is such that I have a flight plan between two airports but along the way I have to descend to a LAT/LONG location let's say below 1000ft AGL to complete the task then continue onward to the destination airport. Since a user waypoint has no elevation info LNM doesn't give any TOD guidance to the user waypoint, only to the destination airport. I understand it is not doable now but maybe it could be added in the future? I know we want LNM to do everything but it ALMOST does everything and really is a great tool for such non-standard aviation tasks.
