Hi,

Very new to SD and a nagging feeling that I'm about to ask a repeat question.

When plotting routes and then viewing the Virtual Radar I see that the climb and descent (BOC,TOC,TOD,BOD) etc doesn't show.  I just get a horizontal line from start point to finish.  On other routes I do however.

Can anyone assist please?

Many thanks,

Nick

Yes, that's probably it. You'll only get the flat line if SkyDemon hasn't been able to accurately model your flight, and that usually happens because there's literally no solution to the problem of what heading to fly to achieve the necessary track and groundspeed.
