Dave,

you could always use FlightPlanner.com. It is web based and you should be
able to use it from mozilla or any of the linux browsers

Someday I will learn more about linux and get my home network up and
running.

Thanks to the AOPA's new flight planner, I now flight plan a lot more
than I used to. Give it a try, it's easy and very well done.



I've given it several tries. It still crashes. It still tells me about
waypoints named "Uuuuuuu". I've documented the problems to AOPA, no
response.

Too bad, it seems like a reasonably well designed user interface and a
lot of function.

Dave up the road at RDU.

Bummer, Hmm I've never experienced that. I wonder if there is some
specific waypoint or area of the map that causes that? I haven't heard
a lot of other complaints about it either. Have you tried it on a
different computer?


Well, I've mentioned my problems here a couple of times and nobody has

said "me
too", so I guess it's something unique to me. Can't imagine what.

I only have the one Windoze computer, my other ones all run either Linux

or
Solaris. The windows machine has fairly recently been re-installed with

Win 98
and all the updates from microsoft.com. Maybe I'll try uninstalling and
installing the flight planner again... good ole Windoze. Maybe I have to

give
micro$oft some $$ and upgrade to XP. Naw, it's not worth that.

I'll struggle along with DUAT flight planning (which, incidentally, lets

me
specify the route without any goofy rubber-banding GUI interface).

Thanks for your interest.

Dave
