Shorter way to final?

Hi,

during my last flight from EDDF to EDDM I selected and got the STAR ANORA 3A (AD 2 EDDM 3-1-4) which ends at NDB MIQ Mike (my opinion). From there is a short way to final 26R (AD 2 EDDM 4-2-4).

But I think that 124thATC leads my via ROKIL 26 (AD 2 EDDM 3-1-10). Which is much longer.

In that case I got much trouble with ATC, caused by differences between directions and flown route.

What can I do to force 124thATC to let me fly the short way. I heard that real pilots ask ATC for the short procedure to safe time and fuel.

With regards

Olaf

P.S. In parentheseses are chart adresses from eurocontrol.

Short answer: You can't.

I confirm is not possible yet. Fast work around is to ask to jump to the last waypoint available. Anyway is relatively easy to implement, I'll put it in the todo list.

Thanks, that moves your plugin more nearer to reality.
