Hi,

I'll check that later today, I have some flightplans without user waypoints, I'll see if the results are the same.

I've zipped another flight plan, one without any user waypoints. Also, I noticed the option to Use Alternate is greyed out on the Select Alternate Airport page. Is there some option I may not have turned on to be able to use Alternates at all?

This one looks good.
The "Use Alternate" only appears after entering the four-letter ICAO code of an airport and pressing Enter.

Okay, that's fine, but that's when the program closes, when I hit Enter after typing in the ICAO for the alternate. As I said relatively early, I found a workaround, so it's not affecting my ability to use PF3, but it's odd that a feature would close the program. Oh, and if I Skip Alternate, everything works fine as well. Thank you for the time you've spent on this issue, I'm not sure what else can be done at this point. I could try a reinstall, but not sure I want to go that far since I have a workaround.

The only time I have seen PF3 closing in such unexpected situations without an error message is in some of the option dialogs when themes are enabled (which they are by default), so maybe you could try disabling Options #2 -> Advanced Options -> Use PF3 skins.

Hey! It worked! Though I turned ON PF3 skins, not off, and now I can enter an alternate with no issues. What is it they say, "weirder than a football bat"? Anyway, thanks for the suggestion!
