Configure Approach ONLY mode in free flight for training purposes

Hello,

So I have been struggling a little configuring approach only free flight.
I discovered that if in arrival you choose the runway, you can then tap some waypoint over the approach path and set the departure there, but you can’t select the altitude, so the airplane starts at 1500ft above the ground.

It will be good to add a approach only section to choose the airport/runway, and the STAR procedure, automatically setting the plane on the initial approach waypoint at the correct altitude, OR, along the iaf that the game, add the ability to input the initial altitude, so more or less you start at the correct altitude before capturing the GP.

Maybe I am misreading your question, but you can simply choose a landing airport and not the take-off airport and it will start you on approach lined up with the runway.

Yes is true, but not always works, plus the plane is totally misconfigured for landing. Somtimes even heading opposite direction to the runway.

Anyway this post is really old, and I learned to fly and do my patterns accordingly in all the planes I use. And when Im lazy and just want to fine tune the FA skills, I just use FSI Panel.
