Not used for a long time due to lack of decent hardware so a bit rusty. Hope I'm not missing something obvious.



1: When I try and print enroute charts, why is the background/whole page blue instead of white? (in print preview). Assume its going to therefore print like that and use enormous amount of ink.



2: When I open a route, why is the date 3 months old from when I last used it? Why not automatically show the current date, which is more than likely the day when I am going flying? (unlikely to be a previous date)



3: Why is it such a tiny and fiddly box to change the date and time (it is on my screen resolution) , surely this can be improved?



4: Why would you need to save the plan on exit just because you have changed the date and nothing else?

The blueness when printing charts is a bug we're looking at. It appears to affect only print preview and not actual print output.

The selected takeoff time is part of your flight plan so if you have chosen to specify one, it is saved along with your route. When loading the route later we intentionally don't fiddle with it.
