My one comment with the new route manager is that I've had some variability in the results of building a route. Maybe I'm not understanding the interface correctly, but sometimes my starting airport gets added, even when I'm in the air. Sometimes it gets in there twice. After creating a route, I always need to go in and manually clean up extraneous stuff before I get what I hoped for. (Sorry for using the word always, maybe I should say "I feel like" I always have to go fix the route manually.) :-P Curt. -- Curtis Olson: http://baron.flightgear.org/~curt/
