[v3.6.4 on Android (phone and tablet)]

I love the new Briefing Pack functionality - I'd actually been considering requesting a feature something like that for ages (and will be posting a couple of requests in the feature suggestions forum now I've finally got around to registering for the forums).

However, it seems that the old 'En Route' chart option that used to be in the 'Print Center' has disappeared from the Briefing Pack sections options.

Is this intentional and/or will it be returning?

I always found it really useful having a version of the chart overlayed with NOTAMS for reference during a flight rather than marking on my main chart and cluttering my route markings.

It is intentional. It's worth noting that we haven't taken anything away, it's just that the enroute charts printing feature is not (yet) available on Android. We have had it working, but Android's PDF generation system is quite bad on all the devices we have tested. With a modest route it would produce a > 50mb PDF file which really was unworkable.

Ouch.. 50mb is a bit much.
I'll probably be doing most of my 'Briefing Pack' creation on a PC anyway, so it's not that big of a deal. Though the fact that I haven't tried it out on the PC application yet shows how much of my route planning is done playing around on a phone or tablet.

Great new feature, though, makes generating the paperwork much quicker and far less likely to forget to hit print on the appropriate section now. (I just wish I would choose 1- or 2-up on a section-by-section basis as per my other post).
