Hi all, it ended up being a couple of days before I could check the suspected
bug but after some fiddling I still cannot select any data files like
Turnpoints, Map file, airspace in the setup page when running off the Altair. I
can however select them when running off a USB stick. I reverted back to 6.1.4
that I was running previously and can select them fine running off the Altair.
I will run a bug ticket. I'd love to know if Scott had the same problem when
updating this weekend so I can find out if I'm just forgetting something
simple.
I have a nationals comp coming up in 2 weeks but intend to run off the USB
stick as the new version seems to run very nice apart from this glitch.
Thanks all and I'll keep you posted if I come up with anything else.
