Default Turnpoint File Management

Erik,

You're not using the CAI for navigation, right? The only reason you'd
need turnpoints in there is for electronic declarations for badges and
record attempts. So for those, just put in the ones you need for that
purpose.

What do you use for navigation?

2NO


What can I say... I'm old-fashioned (read: Cheap). Yeah, the primary
NAV in P3 is the Model 20 communicating to an old Compaq Aero running
GNII. I want the primary declaration to be in the Model 20 along
with all of the landing points within the triangular task area. The
EW will be the "dumb" backup with an exact duplicate of the
declaration.

What I was hoping someone would say is "Oh sure, there's an option in
SeeYou mysteriously hidden under some non-intutitive submenu to
'select waypoints within task area'". I can dream...

I do know a brute force way around this, but i'd prefer not to have to
semi-manually go in and pick the landpoints.
