Why is it that when I fly from KLAS to KDEN on a multi-stop flight the Navigation Log does not fill in the information for the KLAS to KDEN leg of the flight? Huh

you're asking why does it not show your layovers?? ... they are waypoints. You physically have to make your flight plan to EACH INDIVIDUAL airport like they are Final Destinations. (which they are, being they are "full stops") Otherwise FS just thinks you are going to "fly over" X-Airport and continue to Denver.

KSFO to KSNA to KLAS to KDEN to KBBG

To my understanding, FS2004 does not support multi-airport flightplan legs. So it just used those airport designators as waypoints... not destinations. It does not know or care that you have landed.

best,

I have done multi-stop flights before and have had no such problems with the Navigation Log. For example, I flew an Embraer 175 From KLAX to KJFK with a stop for fuel at KSTL and the Navigation Log showed data for both legs of the flight.

My thoughts would be the data has not been displayed because FS9 thinks you never made it to KDEN.

FS9 would consider KDEN as a waypoint and , as stated, not care if you land there, but wait for you to fly over the airport.

I would assume FS9 would use the airport reference point as the waypoint.

I do not know what the tolerances are, but KDEN is pretty big. Maybe you never got close enough to the airport reference point.

Are you using an addon for KDEN?

Did you continue on with this flight and if so what happened for the later legs?

cheers,
Joe

It should still show heading, distance, time, etc between waypoints... I'm not sure what's wrong there.

rottydaddy,

Sorry you lost Peg, I know how it feels. I had to give up my
Malamute\German Shepherd mix His name was Quincey. I lost
my job and couldn't take care of him. I have a three legged
dog in my neighborhood. Pets like him should get a medal for
determination.
