There was a question asked over at AOPA, for which no answer has yet appeared, and it's a good one.
Using AOPA's Real Time Flight Planner, you plan a trip, using the Airways autorouting function. Then you select the destination, right-click, and select an appropriate STAR.
At that point, RTFP has you flying to the destination airport via the original autoroute, then flying back to the transition fix for the STAR, and back in again.
I cannot figure out, for the life of me, how to do away with all of the un-needed route and waypoints. It seems as if there ought to be a way to look at a table with route segments you could just delete, but if there is, I have not found it.
Ideas, answers, abuse? Thanks in advance!
