When manually entering an alternate airfield and then generating the flight plan the alternate changes from that entered requiring it to be entered and run again.
Hi, I’m afraid I could not reproduce this.
Does it do this on all flights, or only a specific one? Did any other error messages appear when this happened?
Could you send some screenshots of your Flight Options before and after generating, showing the departure, arrival, and selected alternate?
Cheers,
I seem to have found the trigger for the changing ALTN field. When entering the flight planning information I start with entering the Flight information fields in a logical left to right sequence: Airline, Flight number, Depart, Arrive and my preferred alternate. I then go on to select the aircraft type. It is the result of this action of choosing the aircraft type, that can/may change the alternate from that which was initially entered.
In the first image you will see that I chose NZWN. Following the selection of the B737 MAX 8 it then automatically changed the alternate to NZAA. I am assuming that following entry of the aircraft type the program then looks at all the alternate criteria that has been selected in user preferences. It would be helpful that if an alertnate has been manually entered into the flight info area that it remain fixed there and not be dependent on whether or not an airframe has been selected.
