Just one example of where this functionality would help:
MSFS-2024 has a great new feature to start anywhere in the world, on the ground cold-n-dark, ready to fly or in the air. For bush fliers, this means we are not restricted to always having to depart from airports, and we can land anywhere too.
However, since we have no way of saving the location of that landing spot at the end of a flight, it is incredibly hard to resume the flight at that location at a later date. Trying to find the exact spot where you landed last time on the World Map the next time you start the game is almost impossible.
Take, for example, the flight plan included in this post, where I’m trying to follow the 1933 route of Irina Burnaia, a Romanian aviatrix famous for her pioneer flights over her native Carpathians in the default Curtis Jenny (as I do not have a IAR-22 in my hangar)
Here is the flight plan:
Note that there are no airports along the route, and most - if not all -of those shown on the map probably did not exist in 1933.
Since this cannot be flown in the Curtiss Jenny either in one flight (too long), nor on one tank of gas (too far), I need to land at suitable spots in the Carpathian Mountains along the way at some of the waypoints shown. I can do this - here I’ve landed at an open clearing by Waypoint 1:
Now I exit the flight and close MSFS. The next time I fly, how do I find this clearing in the forest in the middle of no-where on the World Map?
Answer: I take my best guess, start the flight, and see where my aircraft shows in LittleNavMap. Then I immediately exit the flight, try to move to a closer spot, start the flight, and see where my aircraft shows in LittleNavMap. Repeat 5,6,7…10…12 times until I get back to where I left off yesterday.
Or I could have just loaded my saved flight - if that functionality was available.
Voted.
