How to load an approach mid-flight (and not have your entire flight plan get destroyed by FS2020)
Approaches are often assigned based on constantly changing weather and other factors, so it is imperative that we are able to load them in mid-flight as we get near our destination. Unfortunately FS2020 is still quite buggy in this regard. Thankfully, the community has found a more or less reliable workaround.
