- starting a flight from one freely adjustable location for making a video for example or start an approach. This might already be possible to some extend using the location dialog, so what are the things that would hold you back from using the location dialog for, say, putting yourself at the beginning of the approach?
Jan you've pretty much nailed it...
Regarding the above, it often happens you just want to move the aircraft a little, say to a different parking spot. Input by joystick movement (gross movement) and keys (fine adjustment) makes this so much easier than entering spatial data or finding existing positions.
