Not able to build a flightplan

[larshgf]

Trying to build a flightplan in Plan-G. But most of the flightplan toolbottoms are greyed out and do not function. Airspeed and wind are OK, but the rest not. Do I have to set some values in Option or something like that. I have read the manual but I might have forgotten something...

Hi, Lars. If you mean the buttons in the "Home" ribbon, like "Reverse" and "Start Position", they won't function until you have created at least two points in your new flight plan. Plan-G is a bit literal, I guess - if it doesn't see a departure airport AND an arrival airport, it doesn't consider that there is a flight plan to edit :-)

So, try creating a rudimentary flight plan by right-clicking on the departure airport, select "Start Flight Plan at < >", then right click on another object like an airport or a waypoint, select "Add < > to Flight Plan". You will then have a one-legged plan onscreen, and the ribbon controls will become active. f that's not clear in the manual, then it should be corrected!
