Same problem here: flightsimullator web planner (planner.flightsimulator.com) saves flight plan without departure, arrival and approach, only enroute waypoints are stored.

Steps to reproduce issue:

  1. Go to https://planner.flightsimulator.com/ and login (Edge, Chrome)
  2. Navigate to RĂ©union island in the Indian Ocean east of the island of Madagaskar.
  3. Select “Route” on left menu
  4. In Flight plan, switch to “VFR”
  5. For origin, add FMEE and change runway for 32
  6. For departure, add Visual, Runway 32, VFR pattern: Straight Out
  7. For destination, add FMEP, runway 15 will be selected automatically
  8. For approach, add Visual 15, VFR pattern: Straight In
  9. For Enroute, insert ERDIP after STRHT
  10. Save flight plan
  11. In a new Edge or Chrom window or tab, go to https://planner.flightsimulator.com/
  12. Open previously saved flight plan
  13. Departure, arrival and approach are missed from flight plan, wrong departure runway 12 (should be 32) in loaded flight plan.

Flight plan to save (in step 10):

Flight plan after save and open (in step 13):

Identical issue with IFR flight plan, planner saves flight plan without departure, arrival and approach, only enroute waypoints are stored (departure - FMEE RW32, arrival - FMEP RW15).

Flight plan to save:

Flight plan after reopening:

Also is it possible to download a flightplan into the online flight planner from the cloud that has been saved to the cloud from the pc efb … in theory I would have thought yes … however does not appear to happen in practice :frowning:

After latest flightsimullator web planner update, the changes for VFR flight plan from FMEE to FMEP are saved and after reopening, departure, arrival and approach are not missed anymore.

Are you saying the bug is solved?

For pure VFR flight plan, yes, bug is fixed.

Under the premise of “not saved correctly,” I might want to add that I had different planes in the saved flights than I saved them with. When I originally chose the Beluga, (I think) I got the C90 once and the Agtruck another time.

I experienced the same with aircraft mismatch, but currently cannot recall exact steps to reproduce issue.

With the latest patch, if you mix VFR/IFR within one flight plan, for example, departure - FMEE RW32, VFR straight out; arrival - FMEP RW15, VFR Straight In; save, reload; change arrival to FMEP RW15, ILS RNP; save; reload – departure will be missed from flight plan.

Fixed in previous update.
