January 8, 200917 yr Hi,I'm currently about 300 odd nm from my destination (YBBN) and the DTG on the progress page is showing 1006 and increasing. I have stepped through the plan and there are no errors, checked the distance with FSNAV and it is around 300 nm. Any ideas?EDIT: the ETA is increasing as wellEDIT AGAIN: The flight plan wasn't incrementing, so to speak. The aircraft was following it perfectly but the first waypoint was still registering as current. Deleting all previous waypoints fixed the problem - how bizarre. Scott

This will happen if you are off path and passing abeam the active waypoint at a certain distance (more than 8 NM, if I remember correctly). To return on path use a DIR TO to the next waypoint ahead of your position. Michael FrantzeskakisPrecision Manuals Development Grouphttp://www.precisionmanuals.com
