Would love to be able to input IFR flight plans with Victor Airways. Would make life a lot easier than having to input each & every turn along the way. Any estimated time of implementing this?

This is a major (typical) feature, that iFly is still lacking.

In the mean time, rubber banding helps make input easier.

Marginally, but that gets kind of old too, especially if you are in the air bouncing around.

And, it is not just adding the waypoints, it is having the program actually understand that you've added an airway. You want that reflected in the flight plan listing, and ideally it would be a "handle" that could be used to manipulate that segment.

Although VORs are going away, T and Q routes abound now, and given their nature, can have dozens of waypoints twisting around busy airspaces, where Victors may have had only one waypoint in the same distance -- so this will become more and more of an issue.

Yes, I understand that. Being able to input airways will be a huge enhancement.
