What is the rationale for selecting and sorting weather stations in the planning tool? I've selected "by distance" but the list makes no sense.

See example below: Neither Northolt (closest to departure) or Cranfield (closest to arrival) are selected. Luton closest to the midpoint appears near the bottom of the list. so does Heathrow which is the 2nd closest to departure. the picture shows the top of the list and you can clearly see the choices there make no sense.

This has always been a problem so I though was worth raising on this forum

Thank you

That's weird. I planned the same route, or pretty much (from your screenshot) and the bulletins in my Weather tab go as follows:

Gatwick
Odiham
Biggin Hill
London City
Benson
Farnborough
Heathrow
Northolt
Stansted
Luton
Cambridge
Cranfield

Which I think conforms roughly with a sort-by-distance algorithm. What we need to do here is understand why yours are not appearing in that order. Could you contact customer support about this? They will be very interested in the exact route you're using and (more importantly) your SkyDemon settings. Thanks!
