Yep, noticed the same.

Thank you for the bug report.

We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged.

Is it possible you are scrolling before the animation finishes loading? Would you be able to get a quick capture of the issue occuring?

Thank you!

After testing at a few different airports, I am not experiencing this same issue on 1.7.7.0. I’ll keep investigating and post if this issue no longer exists.

What I am seeing once going back to the world map is that location Selection Bubbles are visible on the map but the original departure location i is empty:
Prior starting the flight:


After ending the flight:

I think in previous versions the original departure location kept the information once ending the flight but I am not 100% sure.

I agree, but since I don’t have a system running SU4 I can’t confirm that the cleared departure location is a regression.

This has been resolved in a later beta version.
