Flight Plan Line Is Blue?

Featured Replies

I have made a few flights with V3 0.1.5B trying to get familiar with the changes from V2.  All of the V3 video tutorials show the flight plan as a magenta line, but whenever I create a plan it always shows as a dark blue line.  I think I am doing something wrong because during my flights even though I am following the blue line, ATC always says I'm off course and vectors me away from the flight plan line and towards the destination airport.  Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong to cause this?

Thanks.

Gary.  The videos were all made with a much earlier version.  The blue line is correct for a light background map.

I just posted a new update you should install that fixes a lot of bugs.  However, the issue you're having is likely because the Setting for AllowedCourse Variation needs to be increased.  Try setting it to 3-5 NM.  This will then account for any variation between the GPS/SIM and P2A's display of the course.
