I have a problem with this application providing me a flight route

else have this problem? AOPA said to be sure that under Edit - Pilot
that I have my DUATS provider user name and password loaded. I do.
And, it still does not work. Any users that this function works.

If I use Cirrus or the Duats.com page, every thing works fine.



Ross,

I learned this little trick on the AOPA message board. Point at your
route line on the map. Then right click and select properties. In the
dialog box near the bottom, you'll see the winds are blank. Just simply
enter the winds and then your navlog will show the wind corrections.

I figured that also, but AOPA tech support says that it should work and
it is not. Trouble is the tech support is not 24/7. So they ask a
question and I supply an answer. This goes on each evening. I can get
the weather off the weather tab but the flight planner does not pick it
up. I am still working with AOPA.
