How do you make a simple triangle on the Flight Planner?

  • I'm just trying to make a simple gliding task on the flight planer. Your typical triangle, nothing fancy...

    It all goes well when I add the first two waypoints of the first leg:



    But when I add the 3rd point, the flight planner changes the first leg, deciding that new point is the 2nd waypoint now



    And I can't even add a last waypoint to close the triangle.
    The editor assumes that I want to fly to the furthest point, not doing a triangular task, like you would do in gliding.

    Is there any way to edit the order of the waypoints?

  • Thanks for the reply! So close but still struggling :P

    - I made EDSA the origin and destination
    - Then I added Farrengerg, Rossfeld, and Hayingen (my triangle)
    - But as soon as I add a point close to Farrenberg to finish the triangle... bam! it adds it to the first leg (Farrenberg - Rossfield), not after Hayingen, as I wanted.



    With the all amazing work recently done on the gliders (aerotow, rope physics, etc.) it's really a shame that you can't do a simple gliding task.

  • Ha! Nice one, thanks! That kind of works 😎

    I added like 20 waypoints on the last leg...


    And the deleted the middle ones, one by one

    You are still left with that random destination at the end, but it's an improvement... Although it takes forever

    But it would be a lot easier if we had something like this, to move the waypoint up and down on the list:



    Thank you!
