      The function of a route profile view of the VFR weather between two airfields by entering the ICAO codes of the departure and destination airfield (e.g. “EDLB EDRK”) no longer works?

        In the Windy route planner, it is still possible to plot a route between two airports identified by their position on the map after selecting "Airports" in the POIs.
        To my knowledge, this has never been possible by directly entering ICAO codes. You are probably confusing this app with another one.

          very shure it WAS possible to enter 2 ICAO codes in the prompt and immediately you received a route profile view where you could chose between IFR-VFR-.... and enter your speed

          why this function is dissapeared??
          it was very useful!

            in "menu"
            enable "Distance & planing"

            then on "search location" enter airport's (4 letter) location indicators
            e.g. LFPO KJFK (Paris/Orly to N.Y.)

              Yes, this is possible for the departure airport and I checked it, but how do you enter the arrival airport?

                Thank you. This works but I noticed that my problem was the airport code "EBKT" in Belgium.
                this airport isn't recognized anymore, where it was before (by typing in the search bar)

                  Enter departure airport, space arrival airport.
                  As I mentioned, e.g. LFPO KJFK
                  provides airgram from Orly to JFK.

                    Sorry, I didn't notice that you have two separate codes.
                    An aviation expert is more efficient than someone like me who isn't !

                      It is strange (for me) that the airgram provided just after typing the 4th letter of the second location indicator (no "enter" needed!).
                      But.... because of this ... I cannot enter another one location indicator to make airgram for a flight with
                      more than one leg.
                      e.g. I can't type LGAV LIRF LFPO (for a flight from Athens to Paris through Rome).

                          In your example via Rome, so you need to plot the flight using the position of the 3 airports on the map.
                          But do you imagine a stop at Rome airport ? In this case I think you have to set 2 separate flight plans if there is no continuity of flight time.
                          Perhaps the reason why you can’t use 3 indicators ?
