I am trying out this software and using the opportunity to plan a flight. The length of flight is beyond fuel capacity and the program, rightly, tells me so. However, I cannot figure out how to set one of the points to a fuel stop. The radar picture just shows the same altitude. A fuel stop is going to take some time as well.

I have searched the forum and was unable to find the info. If it is there then my search criteria was bad.

Using Trial version 3.0.1.0

Thank you all for your responses. I take it this software is not being used much in the United States. I like the available features, but there are a lot of features that would make it "brilliant" as the English would say. Fuel stops is one of those.

Yes, frankly, I have to agree. Although not a major issue it is a small, little feature I miss. The scenario is thus: I plan a long trip and break it up into individual routes which I enter and save in SD. Then, for various reasons, I land earlier or later and fuel up at this different landing point. Now all my other routes are off because of this. It's a bit of a hassle to fix the other routes to take that alteration into account.

No biggie but certainly would be appreciated.
