Will try it further but it seems to me that he is highlighting the a leg which is quite near my current leg, but in the opposite direction. :-(

There is some directional logic, but it will only kick in when the difference between your proximity to one leg and your proximity to the other is very small.

Hello,

Having a slightly different turning point does not help as it seems to select a nearby leg.

Tim,
Seems to me that there is no directional logic in the selection of the leg. Inclusion of such directional logic might already help.

Another option is not to use exactly the same point in both directions but to use a nearby point, for example a user waypoint a tenth of a mile away

SkyDemon selects the leg which you are closest to, as the "current" leg. I believe there is also some directional logic to this, too.

We do not plan to make the login more complicated; it used to be, many years ago, but this resulted in too many problems due to nuances in certain routes. If you're in the rare situation where SkyDemon isn't selecting the "appropriate" leg when there are more than one identical legs, you may need to divide your route into different sectors (or even different files) and select the current sector manually.

Hello,

Not easy to explain the issue but here is best try: in the planned route I am passing two times at the same point (entry and exit point for the EBBR exception to go to/from EBGB).
In flight, the plog gets confused by this. He suddenly jumps to the other leg going to the same waypoint (which is in fact the end of the flight when I am at the beginning).
This can bee briefly seen as well in simulation (while in flight the issue started sooner and took longer to get back no normal).
Attached the planned route.
Might be useful to include a "situational" awareness logic in the plog (if I am coming from WP A on leg AB, next leg is BC at turning point and not leg XB of BY which are further in the plog).

Issue was in flight mode on SD on iPad

Hope this makes sense. Attached the fpl which will allow to better understand I hope.
If unclear, do not hesitate to contact me.

Br,
Jf
