Flihg tplanner question

I have created several flights and saved them. My problem is that when I open one of them to continue the flight it seems that it has lost its destination.
What am I doing wrong? Or does it keep the destinations; but just doesn't show them?
Please, I need help.
Thanks.
Corrie

You need to load up the flightplan each time you load the saved flight

Does that mean I must re create them everytime? That is so lame. Is there no app for this kind of thing?
Thanks

it doesnt mean you need to recreate them everytime. Just go lfight planner, and select the flight plan from the list and load it.

Maybe you're confusing "saved flights" with "saved flight plans"?
They're two different things...
Saved flights include plane, airport, time, and weather, but not route info... route info, headings, ETAs, etc. are all saved with Flight Planner.
Unless you create a flight plan with Flight Planner, start said flight, then save that flight (not the plan but the flight), you won't get your navlog, etc. back by choosing a flight from "My saved Flights"... you'll have to open the save flight first, then open the flight plan.
I find it more convenient to do the extra step beforehand, especially if I am flying a long trip in several sittings... I'll just save the flight as "part 1" or whatever, and when I open it again, I'll be right where I left off, with everything as it was including the flight plan.

When opening a saved flight, make sure not to panic if your craft is heading the wrong way. FS2004 will correct this. This is especially common with gMax built models, for some reason.
There is a autosave program avalible. It save your flight at preset intervals. I'm almost certine it's here at simv. It's handy, especially with a pc that hates you.
