http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Route_Manager Is the current instructions, feedback is welcomed. The key thing you are probably missing is the 'activation' step, and specifying departure and destination airports. It's a couple more steps than previously - though I do what I can to initialise the values based on current location. In the future I'd like to make more fields mandatory - activation will then also be equivalent with filing a flight plan with the ATC system, whether in the form of AI, or automatically submitting your plan to a human MP controller (who would no doubt be very happy to receive your intentions...). However I realise there is an accuracy / patience trade-off here, since many people don't want to enter an alternate airport or cruise speed. There are some other ways the UX could work, depending on your requirements - for example I could change the code not to require a departure airport, and instead define wp0 as the current location in that case - and I could remove the requirement to have a destination at all. At that point the only different as compared to the previous UX would be the 'activate' step. In terms of IFR flight planning, though, the closer the dialog resembles an IFR paper plan. the happier I would be.
