Direct To fix

Hello! I was wondering if there is a way to perform a direct to function on the charts app? If ATC provides a shortcut it would be awesome if I could update the route accordingly instead of seeing the aircraft off route. I found a post that mentioned this was coming in the next version but I can’t see how to perform the action. Loving the new update!

Hi…,

Welcome.

It is a good suggestion and we shall consider it.

As a workaround you can click the pencil icon to bring up the text version of the plan, where you can quickly delete parts of the plan.

Me too, would love to see a DIR TO button. I’ve just got 3 DIR TOs today and deleting every waypoint manually is a pain.

I would suggest that you can tap on the DIR TO waypoint and then select a “DIR TO”, which would delete all waypoints from the latest overflown. Or, if this is not possible, a selection is displayed from where the waypoints will be deleted.

Thank you!

So I was VFR no flight loaded, decided to Direct To my destination. GN530 good, but putting in KMHT as my destination did not creat a track from my current position. That would be helpfu, to be able to DT.

I would Like to Push this. Is this Feature being worked on?

Not at present, but we shall be reviewing outstanding wishlist items over the next 3 months.

Cheers

IRL Pilot here. We are using Foreflight in reality and navigraph is a very good tool for flight sim. However when we are flying in real life, boundary fixes etc are very important - especially in Africa or Middle East. Sometimes we have to contact air defense 15min prior entering and so on and also on SIDs when we get shortcuts or enroute its very very nice to just tab on a FIX and tab “Direct to FIX *****”. You guys should really consider this in the next update since when you have to go through european airspace, the FPL is sometimes a lot of zig zag and you. basically fly nowehre near your original route once you get a proper direct to from ATC.

Thanks!
