Route beyond Range

Post by adysmith »

I flew a Merchantman (VC9 Cargo) Heathrow to Athens recently, only route option from there was on to Nicosia, no problem.

From Nicosia the only route option was to return direct to Heathrow, which I thought was a bit far (I had to limit the cargo to get to Athens) so I decided that I would book it but stop for fuel on the way back.

Unfortunately after selecting the route and the aeroplane the system informed me that this route was beyond the aircraft's range (which I suspected) but it has clearly been flown before.

I managed to create a route to Zagreb and one from there to Heathrow thus returning the aircraft to base.

Unfortunately while creating the LCNC to LDZA route I made a typo so there is also a route from LCNC to LGZA in the database!

Are you unable to fix it, like me to have a go at it?

I deleted the Zakinthos flight and added a tech stop to the direct flight.
