Thanks Durk for the response. If I understand it correctly, then the waypoints I could enter via the text file are airports that are already known.
Would it be possible to hardcode some waypoints if I go enter them directly using the route manager? If I understand the code correctly, the waypoints that are entered there are defined as lat/lon and alt points (among other things), right? As it is right now, I've got 3 different approaches I want to fly into Stockholm Arlanda, and so if possible, I was thinking I'd just hard code them and do the interfacing with the route manager myself. Do you think this could work?

You can make a very primitive flightplan by listing a series of waypoints (with optional altitude) in a txt file as in: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc, etc. Suppose you save this as "myflight.txt" you would call flightgear using something like "fgfs --flight-plan=myflight.txt" What you are suggesting is indeed something I would like to implement one day, but this would require adding/improving Flight Management Computer (FMC) capabilities.
