Am i stupid or is it still not possible that skydemon can fill in the city names of the planned waypoints in the route field of the flightplan?
To file a flightplan with a route consistig of city names is usually used by VFR pilots in austria! It would be very disappointig if this feature is further unavailable in this very exiting program.

Resurrecting this one again... from South Africa.  While we don't require city names, it is normal practice to use aerodrome designators in VFR flightplans... in fact this Aeronautical Information Circular specifically mentions:

1.8.2 SIGNIFICANT POINT (2 TO 11 CHARACTERS)
The coded designator (2 to 5 characters) assigned to the point (e.g. JS, JSV, ORNAD, FAWB)

FAWB in the above being an aerodrome

It would really be useful - even if to copy and paste into the CAA's online submission site - to have the designator... and less error-prone than having to search the string of co-ordinates to replace the right set with the designator.

As raised before, would be great to have this as a toggle setting to suit various user needs

Cheers
