FIXED - set this as active leg

After re-installing my whole laptop and going with P3Dv2 I lost the right-click "set this as active leg" option from the plan table. Most frustrating.
Here's the problem:

The icon that is auto-populated to the desktop by the installer simply has the registered Plan-G 'application' as a target. I've seen this before: with an icon like that where the application is referenced and not the specific executable, you are not able to set it to run as administrator, either by right-clicking when launching or by setting the advanced property.

I created a new icon by navigating to the actual executable and dragging a shortcut to the desktop. I can now set advanced properties to run as administrator. In doing so, I now have the "set as active" menu option back.

Hope this helps someone else searching for this answer.

Case closed, cheers!

I have experienced the same problem after upgrading to the latest version.  Previously, I could set any let as the active leg.  Now I cannot.  Before I connect to FSX, I have the right click menu, but the option to set a leg as active is not there.  I thought perhaps I had to be connected, but after I connect to FSX, I cannot get the right click menu at all.  I am running the program as administrator, as you suggest, but to no avail.  My case is not closed unless there is something I'm not doing that I should do.

"Active leg" is only available when you are connected to FS. If you can't get the right-click menu while FS is running, make sure Plan-G is NOT covering part of the FS window.
