	I'll say. Did you watch the webcast?

	So, here's a question on the DNS: Are the points in the flight plan calculated relative to the aircraft's current position, or to the last point? For example... In the first flight plan, the DNS plots point B (leg A) 50 miles form the plane's current position, along a heading of 340. Point C is 50 miles from point B, along a heading of 45. In the second flight plan, the DNS plots point A in the same manner, but point B is plotted 50 miles from the plane's starting location, along a heading of 45. There are several threads on this already, but they all seem to indicate different behaviors. Which is it?

	It is related to the end of current leg you are doing. If you open the map (Shift+4) and zoom out, watch the movement of the next leg while you make the changes in distance and direction. It can give you a better idea of where you will finish at the end of the next leg. That's how I work it out. Just remember that the DNS isn't very accurate, but it IS a lot fun to fly with. Mark

	Thanks, Markoz. Maybe laying out the flight in a program like PlanG would help? IIRC, it gives you the bearing and distance between each leg in the route.

	The 707 can fly VOR to VOR, FS Flight Plans, CIVA INS and DNS plans, so there is quite a choice. I'm more into the last three though. DNS is fun, until you get a few waypoints close together, it gets really hard to get the legs done in time leg. LOL Mark
