When I planned a route EDMS - LIPB, I started with a direct line EDMS-LIPB and then inserted the waypoints by editing the magenta line on the map (finger drag and drop) and later corrected the levels in the virtual radar window also by finger drag and drop. All fine.

After letting SkyDemon create the briefing pack, I found crazy level values in the descent profile. The virtual radar remained correct.

It happens in iOS and in the windows-desktop version too.

What did I do wrong?

Yes, I planned the flight originally by clicking on my takeoff airfield and then immediately on my landing airfield. That is most easy and I think preferable way.

The other way creating a route by adding up waypoints one by one from origin to the destination is for many usability and planning aspects far from the optimum solution…

So I then inserted waypoints and adjusted leg-levels, but not for the descent as this is then generated automatically and no more adjustable in virtual radar window. Even if you move single descent legs in radar up or down, they jump back to a straight line. But that is acceptable - as long as the log/list values would follow.

What I do not understand: Radar window is somehow correct, but the list in the log is not. Why does SD not just take the (finger-edited) values as shown in radar window and feed the log/list with these values automatically?

Editing every leg one by one is a pain (especially with elaborated approach routes) and if you change the overall level of the whole flight to let‘s say 5000, then you have the wrong 5000 in all these legs which would also be wrong. And editing via leg properties menu would be even more painful.

By the way: editing descent profiles is anyway subject to possible future usability improvements as one can not (at least I did not find out, how) edit step-down vs continuous approaches, pattern altitudes etc.
Instead there is always a straight line down to field elevation. But that could be another topic…
