I'm OK with either. The switching back & forth is what makes it frustrating.Apparently the intention in the BAO and MS planners was to show the mileage and heading to the waypoint on the line with the waypoint. Thus pilots planning to use a published departure could include the departure's waypoints in the plan. Thus the heading TO the first waypoint would appear on the line with the first waypoint.
For the multiplayer flights I posted plans for, I modeled the layout on an example in an old BAO Flight Shop manual (FS 5 vintage). The planner in that product (a Windows 3.1 application) produced a hardcopy printout in fixxed pitch font to look like something a typewriter could produce. It looked like it was intended to be a typed mockup of a government form.
