Tim that would be a good idea to set it up in different sectors. Where as you plan the route you chose where to brake the route into sectors.
In the Plog you only see the sector information.
The only problem is how to print the different sectors. A suggestion could be to choose a sector and then print the sector, than choose another sector, print it
and so on

I'm another who would like this feature.

I've just spent the past 6 days on Fly UK and it would've been great to be able to plan a day's flying as a single route and split it into sectors to allow for fuel stops whilst planning.

It would also be handy to be able to select a waypoint in the air and change it to a landing point, presumably splitting the track into a sector?

If I am flying a 3hr leg, I may choose to divert en route due to weather or just for a break. I can add a waypoint and insert it en route, but I can't select it as a place to stop, just an overhead waypoint.

Cheers

Steve

I frequently plan a trip that's longer than one tank. I would like SD to be able to show me the entire route, beginning to end, with proper fuel and time planning. So I would like to be able to specify two additional items for each waypoint on a route: fuel added and time spent on the ground.

I too would like to see this feature. Even though I am a new pilot and my routes are quite simple, it would be a great help.

Tim, what say you? There have now been numerous requests for this function on this and other threads. Would that be enough to put the issue on the feature list of one of the upcoming releases?

It's something we're still considering. It's probably one of the features we don't have which is requested most often, but the points against it are also strong, in that it would require significant development investment and would complicate the product.

Hi Tim,

just thought I'd give you a few ideas from a user's point of view on what the added functionality should encompass.

For each waypoint in a route I would like to be able to designate it as an "overfly" (that's the default) or "landing" waypoint. It would be nice if the "landing" waypoints were shown in a different color so that they stand out easily when viewing a long route.

For each "landing" waypoing I would like to be able to specify the amount of fuel upon departure as well as the time spent on ground. These pieces of information should, of course, be carried over into the subsequent route calculations (ETA, weight and balance, etc.)

To access the additional information for each waypoint I think it would be easiest to do a "long tap" on it, which already brings up a waypoint information window which then incorporates the additional data items.




Greetings, -- Chris.
