Timing discrepancy with flight plans involving both "refuel" and "holdpoint" actions.

[FreqiMANN]

When planning a flight that has a refuel steerpoint and a holdpoint afterward, the flightplan mirrors the hold time for both points and the time-on-station completely ignores the hold.

placing a 10 minute hold on the refuel point changes the hold point to 10 minutes. when changing the hold point, the same thing happens to the refuel point. the values are mirrored. flight plan time-on-station times reflect the hold time at the refuel point but NOT the hold point. in addition: If AI fly the flight plan, they hold at the refuel point and completely ignore the hold point.

Interesting point this yours, dear mate, thanks for sharing your experience.

Mine is as follows: on my little own, I am used to be very strict with placing a holding point in my flight plans, as just as they really needed.
That also to avoid wasting of time among them and the refueling points, which might be more than one only, you see.

This premitted, what you saw doesn’t seem happening by chance to me, but could be due to some relation existing between those two kind of tasks - but I am leaving the speech to the devs. on it.

Sorry if I couldn’t help you more about here.

With best regards.

are you implying this is intentional as a piece of a future, yet-to-be-implemented, feature?

Well… I actually didn’t.

What I tried to express was a thought, or a suspect, more exactly.

A little clarification here by the devs. wouldn’t hurt, I think, if they would.
But it’s not worth of solicitating that. We are left free to keep on testing and experimenting all what we need or feel useful… isn’t it fun?

With best regards.
