You can add them from LNM and then load you flight plan from the game world map.
Thank you 
I had all but stopped using the WORLD MAP, since the GNS can load its FPs from its own stored list of Fps.
I can live without User WPs, till Asobo fixes the issue.
Enough distraction ā¦ time to go check out the new āSaving settingsā

I have been unable to make the METARs work. Attached is my config.json file, which lives in users\me\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community\pms50-gns530-data\Config\pms50-gns530
OK, nvm, .json files arenāt allowed as attachments, so here it is copied and pasted:
{
āweather_radarā: āoffā,
āweather_legendā: āonā
}
āweather_radarā: āonā
āweather_legendā: āonā
āmetar_avwx_tokenā: āS18nn5_ZjIWOpABunchOfOtherRandomStuffWyvsoā
Can you load a flightplan like that and then have it used as a filed IFR plan by the default ATC? I usually use pilot2ATC, but with VR, a brand new Piper Seminole, and an updated GNS530, I figured that was enough new things to try to tackle at the same time without further complicating it, so Iāve been using the default ATC for the time beingā¦
Where are the GPs āuser settingā saved , if they are altered by the Nav menus options.
Also, why different Nav menus , have different lists of setting.
Is this how the RW GPS is ?
As a User, it would seem to be a lot easier to have the same set of Options presented, whichever Nav menu you were in, rather than having to remember which Nav menu, each different (or same) Options are in.
both these need a COMMA at the end
(I made the similar editing error as well !!)
ie
āweather_radarā: āonā,
āweather_legendā: āon",
āmetar_avwx_tokenā: āS18nn5_ZjI___________________Wyvsoā
Think of it as a list
item 1, item 2, item 3
The last one does not need a comma as there is no item 4
Note: You might want to go and edit your Post to change your KEY, or eveyone will be using it !!!
So just the comma, not the stars?
yes, stupid Forum did not allow me to format, and make the commas BOLD !!
OK, edit made, off to give it a shot! Thanks. If it actually works, double thanks!!
Done! Thanks againā¦
Nav pages are different each other so they have specific menus and options.
The purpose of the saved settings is to retrieve the state of some nav pages as you left them when leaving the game (ie: if you choose to display data part in the second Nav page, this will be displayed again when you start a new flight).
Today we save the NorthUp/TrackUp state of NAV1 and NAV2 pages (independantly), the data display option of NAV2 page and the Channel spacing on AUX1 page.

Any luck? I canāt get them to work either. I have the two commas in there.
When I tested this, it worked very well ā¦ 
It seems that the state is saved the moment you change one, because if you change any, and then X out (or maybe even CTD), the changed state is there next time you start MSFS.
So, in effect, the state changes get saved immediately ā which is very good newsā¦
(Please correct me if Iām wrong )
No, it didnāt work. I put in the commas, still no METARs. But occasionally it acts like itās trying (and by that I mean it takes a few seconds, itās not instantaneous), but no positive results.
Maybe the config.json needs to be in the regular mod location, not in the semi-permanent one? Just thinking out loud, but Iām no programmer, so I could be full of (a) bed of roses.
Iām also not sure the weather radar is working, but Iām more concerned with the METAR stuff at this point, once thatās fixed I can work on the radar. It was an option on the PA44, so Iām not breaking my own āmust be as real as real lifeā rule by using it in that plane, but itās also not storm season.
I can get nexrad, but not the ārealā weather radar.
I have mine in the 2nd DATA Mod, and it works fine.
Obviously, by having it there, I donāt have to keep editing a new versionās config.json file, with each new version of the GNS530 Mod.
Seen this too. Manual input of waypoints seems to be buggy, with some waypoints causing more trouble than others. Also noticed that as you approach one full page things start getting touchy, entering waypoints at that point sometimes even causes complete loss of the flightplan, which is a very unfortunate bug. Iāve solved this by entering waypoints as I progress through flight. I suspect the base sim is at fault here. This needs to grow way more solid to turn into a meaningful tool, otherwise it becomes a source of frustration.

You should have a file named config.json in the Community\pms50-gns530-data\Config\pms50-gns530 folder.
This file should contain this:
{
"weather_radar": "on",
"weather_legend": "on",
"metar_avwx_token": "YOUR AVWX TOKEN HERE"
}
Please respect the syntax exactly (commas particularly) and set your own token.

Could you try to reproduce the issue?
Thank you to read the bug reporting part of the readme file if you have an issue. I need the requested information in order to help.
OK, for some reason (probably my fault), I had it in another subdirectory of the one you indicated, and also had the syntax slightly off. Iāve changed both and weāll see if I got it right this time.
Thank you!
