Hi guys,

I am trying to use Skydemon for IFR planning. However, despite putting all settings to IFR (ans also seeing the routes), when planning a route, it always just gives me a direct. What can I do to have Skydemon plan a route for me? And if it doesn't work, how can I use eg Autorouter or anything else to plan it?
I am trying to avoid Foreflight. Please help me out.

BR
Constantin

I then create a (VFR) flight plan and copy the text from that into the route section of EuroFPL and run a route checker on it. When it comes up with an approval I store that for filing.

why don't you file directly from Autorouter?

No reason why not really Adam. I guess it's just a routine that I've got into. Autorouter is a very good program. It does tend to produce some roundabout routes though. I've found that flights within the UK are best served by checking the AIP Standard Routes Document between desired airfields or waypoints and then seeing if the route gets approval in EuroFPL.

Just file it, ATC won't let it happen, you get directs anyway 😉
