I too would like to see this feature. Even though I am a new pilot and my routes are quite simple, it would be a great help.

I frequently plan a trip that's longer than one tank. I would like SD to be able to show me the entire route, beginning to end, with proper fuel and time planning. So I would like to be able to specify two additional items for each waypoint on a route: fuel added and time spent on the ground.

I'm another who would like this feature.

I've just spent the past 6 days on Fly UK and it would've been great to be able to plan a day's flying as a single route and split it into sectors to allow for fuel stops whilst planning.

It would also be handy to be able to select a waypoint in the air and change it to a landing point, presumably splitting the track into a sector?

If I am flying a 3hr leg, I may choose to divert en route due to weather or just for a break. I can add a waypoint and insert it en route, but I can't select it as a place to stop, just an overhead waypoint.

Cheers

Steve

Tim that would be a good idea to set it up in different sectors. Where as you plan the route you chose where to brake the route into sectors.
In the Plog you only see the sector information.
The only problem is how to print the different sectors. A suggestion could be to choose a sector and then print the sector, than choose another sector, print it
and so on

We've actually been prototyping this feature, i.e. multiple sectors per route, and it works fine. The trouble is, it's not really very different from how things are now, except that multiple routes are displayed on the map and clicking on one makes it "active", whereupon the virtual radar and everything else update to show that as the "selected" route.

What would you actually want to behave differently in a multi-sector route? We probably wouldn't particularly want to change the PLOG, as the PLOG is for a single sector by design. The virtual radar is also designed to represent a single sector.

Tim,

Look like I may have started a thread that generating a bit of interest, so I'll keep hoping that we may get a multi leg trip kit in thye future (near-ish ??)

It really is a great function!

Regards
