Hi Evan, Nice flight yesterday ; )
For (1) the answer is No. The default radius is a feature in 6.1, however, I do not recommend you upgrade to 6.1alpha for Perry Because 6.1alpha is experiencing some issues. (2) the answer is Yes, while there is no "MAT" task type in 6.0, you can fly a MAT as follows: First, create a "Mixed" task in the task editor with only the start and finish points. Save the task and begin flying. Next, as you need to add turnpoints to your MAT task, use the Waypoint Lookup to find the turnpoitn you want (or just click on the turnpoint in the map) and in the Waypoint popup window, click the Append button. This will make the waypoint the last waypoint in your task _before_ the finish point, which is what you want for a MAT. (This will be much smoother in 6.1 when the default radius can be set, but it will work in 6.0x.) And regarding the "invalid task" messages, we agree and have changed that in 6.1 so you don't ever get that message.
