Multi leg plans

Slight problem wit the new version, and the multi leg plan.


I started at my home airfield, then to another airfield, which I flagged as Land Here. Then to another - also Land here. Then made sure I had the thirdfield selected and clicked on my home airfield. It then created a new leg from the 2nd airfield to my home airfield.

Oops!

This is the latest - 3.1.0.0 on Windows 7.

Any thoughts?

Sorry, let me expand the problem.

Start a new route from A to B then C. Right click B - Land here. Then click on C, and as prompted click on A to extend the route there. However instead of creating a new leg from C to A it creates a leg from B to A.

Workaround is delay selection of 'Land here' until after all legs created, but on the route I was planning, they were all a way away, hence easier to do that first. It then confused me.

BTW is there a way to move from one to another sub-route in the Print Centre?



cct,

your other workaround is as I explained .. instead of simply click on A to "append" do a "right click" with your mouse on A.
This opens the context menu from A, but does not activate leg A-B.

with this you can plan exactly as you want it in one shot, the way of the "clicking" is the factor. straight click as normal reactivates the first leg, hence you see your problem. 

but as AlanM stated, the best way is to plan all your legs in one large track, then go back and add your "land here"s - you are also then able to check takeoff time and validate fuel consumption. With this you single legs are not just simple separate routes, but also full individual flight plans , witch you might also want to individually submit.

there is no way in Print Centre to currently print either all legs at once or switch between legs ... but its definitely a requirement.
right now you need to leave Print Centre, activate the next leg and go again to Print Centre, and so on.

But in general multi-leg planning is absolutely great
