Very pleased with G-Plan.

Here's a tip for all flight simmers: Turn on Sticky Keys in Windows:
If you press SHIFT five times in succession you can turn on Sticky Keys. This means that you can tap Shift, Ctrl, Alt then the next key without having to hold down the first key. Once you get used to it, you will never be without it, especially if you type with one hand. For FSX, for example, you can tap each key quickly in succession to get TOGA. CTRL, then SHIFT, then G. NO NEED TO HOLD THEM DOWN.

Turn off the 'cancel sticky keys when two keys are pressed at once', because you are nearly guaranteed to do this by accident at some time. Keep sticky keys on and you just tap SHIFT to get one capital letter and the type returns to lower case.

Cheers
