Active leg

[Sundancer]

Hi Tim,

I have a question about the behaviour of the Plan window in the Expander part of Plan-G.

Suppose I have a FP which consists of several waypoints and I fly this FP. The Plan window, either as tool window or as displayed in the Expander panel shows me the complete route with the active leg marked as green.
When I reach the end of this leg, Plan-G alerts me for reaching it (set by option) and automatically the Plan windows switches to the next leg as the active one, marked in green as well. So far so good, works perfect.

But, when I want to skip a leg for whatever reason, the problems arise. It is obvious that Plan-G can not automatically determine that a leg, i.e. the active leg is skipped.
In tool window mode there is no possibility to adapt the new next leg as active, but in Expander Panel mode this possibility is available [select next leg, right click and 'set as active leg']
Unfortunately two active legs appear (two green bars) and as from this point all synschronisation is lost, i.e. no automatic switch over to the next leg and no warnings more that a waypoint has been reached.

Is this a bug or is there a work-around for this ?
I did not search all the pages of the forum for this topic, although I read a substantial part of it, but could not find anything about this topic.

B.t.w. Excellent program !!

Info: FSX, W7, single PC, Plan-G: 2.0.5.493

Yes, that's a bug.
