I've made 3 flights with 6.3.1 and another problem arose (which will be another ticket once I've sleuthed it a bit more). The wind calculation from circling works early in the flight and then "quits" later, so in thermalling mode I can see a pronounced drift instead of concentric circles. I had no problems with 6.2.6.
Back to the double-click issue, it still would be nice to have a quick way to GoTo any airport on the map. In 6.3.3 this requires 4 operations (click on airport, get the dreaded "map element..." page, clikc the airport agai, click "Details" then click "Goto"). Try doing that error-free in turbulence. How about when selecting an airport, that "Goto" appears as one of the immediate options?
