It would be really useful to have the default date and time as now rather than in the past Tags dates flight planning

At the end of July, I want to make the same flight. I open up the previously saved flight, and it has the takeoff time still set for 31st May. While I appreciate that's what is saved in the file, I can see his point that loading up a flight with a takeoff time in the past isn't particularly useful. Andy
