January 31, 201214 yr Hi,In Active Sky 2012, I create a manual flight plan on Flight Plan page (not imported from any flight planning tool). In this example, it is a very simple plan with two waypoints in addition to departure and destination airports:CYVR YYJ RBG KSFO (please see the attached pdf document for screenshots)The map page (see the screenshots in the attached doc) shows the correct route.After going to ‘flight plan’ page, I click on ‘Enter Plan’ and then I click on ‘process’ in order to generate my Wx themed files (Install AS2012 Graphics option).As soon as I click on ‘Process’ all the waypoints between the departure and destination airports get deleted (in this case YYJ and RBG waypoints get deleted).Basically, all the manually entered waypoints between departure and destination airports get deleted upon hitting Process on Enter Plan page and this is despite the fact that I have 'Existing Waypoints' options selected. I have created the attached Word document with the screenshots of every screen in the process. I don't think this is by design. I have tried different flight plans, and this happens for every flight plan without exception.
February 1, 201214 yr Author Alpaslan, thanks for your reply, but as I mentioned in my post and also in the screenshots I have 'Existing Waypoints' options selected.
February 1, 201214 yr sorry mate, did not see that you mentioned it. I am a customer like you, hope someone else have an idea to solve the issue. If you can't find help in here, you can check HiFi support site, they respond quickly if you open a ticket. Cheers Salim Coban
February 3, 201214 yr Author After contactig HiFi Tech support, which by the way has been very helpful in tracking this issue, and exchanging a few emails, I received the following guidance. I'm sharing it so if there are any other community members with the same issue, they don't have to repeat the process:"Yes we have discovered a bug here.The expected operation when wanting to re-process/install textures after editing a plan is to use the REFRESH PLAN button. When a change in the plan is detected on pressing this button it should bring up the prompt to install textures, but this is not operating correctly. We have this on our priority list and will get this fixed shortly.For your information, the ENTER PLAN/PROCESS screen should be used only to set the initial plan parameters. Waypoints clearing is a normal occurrence when using this. The REFRESH PLAN button is the one that should be used after making waypoint changes (when it is working again).We apologize for the problem. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. In the mean time we have a recommendation to work-around this issue:1) Use the ENTER plan screen to set dep/dest/flight parameters2) Add waypoints as required3) Export the plan using EXPORT PLAN button4) ENTER PLAN again, this time IMPORTING the exported plan5) The graphics install prompt will come up to allow textures on this new plan with waypoints."
