Multi-Stop plans; selection of in/out route

E Group: Forum Members Posts: 10, Visits: 9	Hi, when planning a flight from A to B with a Stop at B, it like to create a route from A to A via B, once done I convert it to multi-stop using the "Land here" function. That's brilliant, but: Often the choice of waypoints is identical, and I find myself temporarily changing the route in order to distinguish the out and return legs to allow me to activate that part of the journey. Where routes are on top of each other it'd be great to have some functionality to select the correct one (at least in planning mode). Could be "next/prev flight" in flight details, or a small (yellow?) arrows next to the route at some interval with one muted and the other appearing active - upon selection they could activate the particular route. Another note: Even if the outbound journey is active, the return journey overlays it, so hovering over a leg will provide the leg details view for the return journey only. Thank you for the consideration.

Thank you for the consideration. In these circumstances, isn't it just easier to create a single A to B route, and reverse it when you want to come back? You could still plan with an A-B-A route to get correct times, fuel burn, W&B etc, but actually fly with the single leg leg route.

The 'Trip details' option on the Route menu when a multi-destination route is being planned allows you to select which flight is active. Even better would be if this option was available from the Route options when in Navigation mode.
