Post subject:  Oceanic Segments
I've been having problems with Oceanic not "releasing" me back to Center at the end of Oceanic segments. For instance, today on a flight from TJSJ to KTPA, I set the Oceanic sector as follows:

SAPPO being the end of the ACONY3 SID and beginning of Oceanic airspace and RUTOC being the last waypoint prior to reaching the end of Oceanic airspace (as best approximated by Navigraph).

In reality, as the logs should bear out, I wasn't released from Oceanic until passing below 11000 around COSAR/DSIDE, well into the BLFRG2 STAR and less than 10 minutes from landing.

This seems to happen to me quite frequently, so I usually just skip using this feature. It always initiates at the right time, just more often than not I'm left to "aviate and navigate" to force the "communicate" that I want.

Okay, sorry for the delay.

The log file doesn't match the screen shot. In the log file the OP exit point is waypoint 30!! Shown as 31 on your screenshot... the one after DSIDE

This is from the log

Also, please update to the latest version (3.19.0) and then resubmit another log should you have the same problem... but as far as this log is concerned everything worked as it should

Please ignore my previous post... I owe you an apology... just been doing some more testing and I can see we have a problem with PF3 incorrectly setting all waypoints, following the one you defined to be the OP exit point, as OP points!!!

I'm looking at fixing this now and will hopefully upload a new interim version for you to try

Sounds good, thanks! (Sorry, I don't pop in as often as I probably should...)
