Hi there,

Having just seen this in action at AeroExpo I have downloaded the 30 day eval to do some testing and came across an odd issue.

The first thing I thought I'd do would be to use the route I'd flown today so rather than use the mouse I thought it would be quicker to just use the import route function and that's where I hit a problem

What I wanted to do was to import EGJJ DCT ORIST DCT HAZEL DCT EGTB however when I get as far as EGJJ DCT ORIST I get an error in red saying "Ambiguous waypoint: "ORIST". 

Doing a bit of inevestigation by using the route find function and entering ORIST seems to show two ORIST instrument reporting points that appear to be the same (note that I have loaded UK and France charts)

Regards,

Derek...

Hi Derek,

That's a great catch. The software is clever enough not to allow you to import a route if there's anything ambiguous about its waypoints, but not clever enough to realise that the two waypoints (found in both the UK and French charts) are actually the same.

We have now fixed this little bug and you'll see the fix in the next update. If the issue is an urgent one for you, contact us by email and we'll send you a special hotfix build containing the update.

Thanks for reporting the issue.

Hi Tim,

No problems - happy to wait for next release.

I did wonder if it might be something to do with it being on two charts.

CHN (a TACAN/VOR down at Chateaudun in France) also appears twice (and gives the same error on import) - not sure if that's the same issue.

Cheers,

Derek...

Excellent. I hope you (and wife) are getting lots of use from the software.
