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? 

Thanks,

/Pat

Hi Pat, 

As far as I know that is not implimented yet. 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.

Cheers,
Durk
