The original request was just to change what happens when "D" (direct-to) was pressed while in the NRST dialog box. Not change what NRST does or shows.

[Edit: I moved my suggestion for highlighting the recommended runway in a Extend All scenario to it's own thread in the Wish List forum.]

Thanks for everyone's constructive thoughts.  All good input.  Continuing on this train of thought, if all the NRST airports were somewhat clustered together, then "turning on" ALL the runway extensions, for ALL the airports, could make the map display look like the "petals of a flowering Daisy" and perhaps confuse the pilot.

Thanks,

Steve

You're right in that it would be a chaotic/crowded mess if a whole bunch of airports suddenly sprouted runway extensions.

But that's not what I was suggesting.  In your original post you said "Once the user selects the airport of choice and presses the "Direct to" button...".  That's what I was responding to.  

If you were meaning my other Wish List suggestion -- that's also not what I was requesting.  I was asking for iFly to highlight the recommended runway in the list of runways (and/or on the display of extended runways) when the user requests Extend All in the Extend Runways dialog.  And how you get to that dialog is by selecting an airport.  There is no Extend All for multiple airports (though you can have multiple airports with extended runways if you do them one at a time).
