PE Client request "Paste" Button

Post by JonFly »

Can we possibly have a "Paste" button available on the PE Client when filing a flight plan? For some reason I cannot paste into the Route field. Maybe there is a way for me to paste but my normal routines are not working.

Thanks

Seconded! While we are here, can we also use TAB? Thanks.

Regarding the usage of "tab":

Holy cow, that was 2 years ago. Strange what you remember sometimes.

Copy paste works in this format:

I feel your pain, but you don't get pasting or tabbing for free in the xplane UI, it all has to be built from scratch and it's non-trivial, especially accounting for multi-platform support (paste works differently on Mac vs Windows vs Linux). It's not happening.

The web interface is the way to go if copy/paste/tab are critical to your flow.

This is where MyFlightRoute comes to the rescue. Pull the route there, fill out the form and then use the hand "File on PE" linked button and you're set. I gave up on the client except to set ICAO code and livery...
