When a route is active, the route-manage provides various pieces of information based upon current aircraft position / speed, and the route progress. These values would be calculated by the navigation computer in a real system, but are handled by route-manage in FG for convenience. Values logged include the takeoff time, estimated time enroute (ETE), distance remaining enroute, and so on - browse the property tree to see what's available. | When a route is active, the route-manage provides various pieces of information based upon current aircraft position / speed, and the route progress.

To easily create entries for route manager the application [http://rubyforge.org/projects/fgmap Flightgear Mapping] is useful. With just a few clicks you can add navaids displayed on the map and aswell a route you have defined there via waypoints. Navaids can be inserted into the list at any point, not just at the end. | |||
