Hi Ernie,

I just built a plan from KLAS to KSMF and it looks there might something werd in the fuel/time calculation, since the total fuel the plan says that I need does not even cover the flight time + reserve specified. I ran the exact same plan and settings using 2.3 and received much different numbers. I have attached both plans in the ZIP file.

Thanks!

Hi Ernie,

I sent you my config file. I blanked out ActiveSky in the weather option and then rebuilt the same plan. It showed "0" in the winds column, so I assume it was not pulling in from ActiveSky. However, same result, where the plan said I needed less fuel than my flight + reserve.

Thanks!

Ernie,

I downloaded the 2.4.0.4 update, didn't realize it had been released... and tried the same plan. It is now working and gving results very close to the 2.3 plan. Looks like this new release may have fixed the issue.

Thanks!

Hi Ernie,

Another update... it seems that it is an issue when updating the navdata from the 1101 file from Navigraph. I updated to the 2.4.0.5 update, tried the plan it worked as normal. I then updated to the 1101 navdata. Tried the plan again and the issue re-appeared. I had not updated the AIRAC when I tested 2.4.0.4 last night.

Thanks!
