Tarbat,
Good shot. I notice that D-AIHA is travelling 14KT faster that 'FA so should win by a large margin - I am sure that someone better ar=t maths than me could work it out.....

I notice you have predicted path shown rather than trails. I had to stop using the predicted paths as with all the traffic and turning points in the London TMA my screen resembled a fight from Star-Wars with all the beams flashing backwards and forwards across the screen ! :-)

The one advantage of living in an area with low volumes of aircraft!!

Okay, here's the contents of the .mcl file I use for my colours. But beware, this also relies on adding the following outline files for the UK coastline, etc:
COAST_HR_England.out
COAST_HR_Ireland.out
COAST_HR_Scotland_E.out
COAST_HR_Scotland_W.out
DA_EG_Danger_Areas.out
DA_EG_Prohibited_Areas.out
DA_EG_Restricted_Areas.out
DA_EI_Danger_Areas.out
DA_EI_Prohibited_Areas.out
