v2.0

I FREAKING HATE IT!!! OK, not really. In fact, not even an ounce of hatred towards the new version.

Suggestion/idea, but then again, I probably missed it. Suggest fuel stops that are closest to the suggested route. I was goofing off and made up a flight plan from RVS to BFL. Now, the plan did note that the amount of fuel to make it was more than the PA46 would hold, so that was a plus, but I think it would be cool, as well as helpful, to have suggested fuel stop points with prices, say, within 50-100 miles of deviation from the route.

Again, I might have missed it, but if it isn't there, I think it might be a good idea.

Where can one add an alternate? There's no input for it on the first page, though the second page notes that it's missing.

[quote="pika1000Alt popped up for me to the right hand side after I put in my "to" airport.[/quote]

Ah; I got it to work. I was using Tab to navigate; looks like the javascript is waiting for mouseclicks.

Thanks very much.

Hmmm....

Seems to be broke for me as I can't get past the first input screen.

I get.

Unable to find a valid cruising altitude within the limitations of direction of flight, origin and destination airport altitude, and available performance data.

KMBO to KEKY with KBHM as alternat I used. I didn't change any other values to the slider bars on the altitude.

One thing not clear is what to put in the optional route? If it's blank, does that mean GPS direct? Maybe a help page or mouse over tips may be useful for fields of that nature. DUAT, I believe you can put the word direct in that type of field for routing.

Mark / Daniel, I think you put in the POH values for my Sundowner from what I emailed?? http://discussions.flightaware.com/viewtopic.php?p=89856#89856

Everything said valid or OK (green print) when I peeked in the profile of the plane, but I didn't want to change anything.

Just to test your theory, I didn't move the sliders on the altitude and got the following (using PA46 as the aircraft)

Good points, it was just a suggestion Smile

BTW, KPAE (where I work) only shows Jet A. We have a ton of G/A planes here Very Happy

Hey guys- Any way you can make it so we can plan to Bahama airports? On the site I use right now for flight Planning I can file all the way down to MBPV.

I'd be nice to use this site to flight plan.

Thanks
Jason

Any way the flight planner can display the distance in nm? Also, any way flightaware can display the distance of a completed flight? FA displays the distance right up tot he point the plane arrives, then it disappears.
