But this is not realistic, because in real life you would have to create the flightplan in your GPS/FMC (or load it when you have created it before) when sitting in the aircraft. Ofcourse you could do this in the sim as well, but the question is will the sim then 'understand' I'm going to fly this plan, i.e. This means that when you startup your aircraft the flightplan is automatically loaded in your GPS/FMC. I do have a question though as far as I can tell you have to create or import an IFR flightplan in MSFS before you hit the 'fly' button. With the recent news that WT are upgrading the CJ4 I'm tempted to pick up IFR flying again. In the old days I used to do IFR as well, but that goes all the way back to FS2000 and FS2002, so that's a pretty long time ago and you could call my skills rusty. In recent years when I was behind my sim I have exclusively flown VFR to uncontrolled airfields.
