>James - Yes and no The way it has always worked from the main screen is:
1) create flightplan
2) Save flightplan
3) click OK and flightplan is *auto*loaded in the flight window
4) click fly now and the flight starts. You are placed at your selected starting point and contact ATC and go from there.
Now, on step 3 - I am returned to the flight screen BUT the flight is not loaded, I am still in the default flight. If I click Fly Now - I start the default flight.

No, I shouldn't but i am
For example, I am at Meigs. I load, or create ( makes no difference) a flightplan from KSBP to KLAX - after clicking OK I am still at Meigs and ATC knows nothing of the plan. In the past, if I loaded the plan, I was placed at my starting point with ATC telling me to contact ground for clearance.
I can *force* it to work by manually placing my aircraft at the gate, load flightplan and select ATC - it then will know where I am and fly from there.
This is NOT the way it has worked.
Don't know what's changed but I fear I'm going to have to reinstall.
Cheers,
Vic
