When flying the OEM version (or any other aircraft with radio navigation and without GPS), I use a simple pencil/paper route plan. Usually I use Skyvector (and Navigraph charts for departure and arrival) to establish the route. Then I simply note down all segments of the route on a piece of paper, using my own shortcuts. In flight, I just follow the instructions I wrote down. Here's an example of a route plan for the route EGLC/EGGD: route: EGLC/09 CPT6U CPT CPT1B EGGD/BRI.I09 transcript: dep RWY 09 92° clb 520+ until ILST 111.15 D+1 int BPK 117.5 329° in int BPK 117.5 272° out D+26 trk HEN 433.5 int CPT 114.35 225° in int CPT 114.35 274° out D+32.4 trk BRI 414 @ FL070 hdg 278° IBON 110.15 D+8 trn left 107° int IBON 110.15 87° intc @ 2,500' dep = depart int = intercept trk = track hdg = fly heading trn = turn This way I can break down a flight plan with SID, STAR and IAP into 10 lines with simple instructions. I find it easier to have all frequencies and courses noted down and ready at hand. Theoretically a fully fledged LIDO format plan would deliver the same information (plus a lot more), but for me it's harder to extract those bits from a bunch of paper sheets.

Ah...so it looks like I put the code to "hide" the GPU if you are moving in the preference window callback....which means... IF the GUI window is active and showing, then the code to hide the GPU will run (if moving). So you can toggle the pref window open/close to hide the GPU if its showing in the air. I'll move that code to a more sane location. TK
