NB: This post could have easily lived in Planning, Navigation or Suggestions - I choose here arbitrarily.

- When switching from VFR to Mixed mode, the map stays in VFR mode (no IFR reporting points).
When switching from IFR to Mixed mode, the map says in IFR mode (no Airspace boundaries/info).

As it stands, when planning an IFR flight, I have to plan in VFR mode to ensure I'm not infringing, then switch to IFR mode to drag turning points onto a local IFR reporting points.  The same goes when en route; normally I'd fly in VFR mode, again to avoid infringing, then if any changes are required, I have to flip to IFR mode, make the route changes, then back again.

Ideally, at least for me, it would be much better if Mixed mode would show both Airspaces and IFR reporting points.

Because I didn't see that option, even after thoroughly searching all of the Setup menus.

After Googling your suggestion, I can now see it in Mapping at the bottom.

This is what I'm after - thank you.

It’s funny I was going to raise a new request but I think this point is valid for another reason.
I have the exact same gripe.
But additionally, if I’m flying IFR I want IFR notams / so I end up doing as stated above to do the route planning, then going back to VFR to get the VFR features again and then back to mixed to get IFR NOTAMS.

The simple fix for me would be for mixed mode to show VFR Charts plus airways reporting points. Am I missing something?

I can’t understand the logic of keeping the airways view when going from IFR to mixed.
