Start Order?

Newbie here, to plan g.  Does it matter which program starts first? FSX then Plan G or Plan G then  FSX?  Thanks.

No, it should be happy either way.

Thanks.  Great software.  I'm still trying to figure out the approaches though.  I was so used to looking at approach plates using Copilot Pro from abacus, but Plan G is so much more.

Approaches in Plan-G are somewhat experimental, and definitely not up to approach plate standard, but thanks. :)

Maybe not approach plate standard but definelty work.  I've flown for six straight hours today almost missing Thanksgiving dinner.  Needless to say, the approaches that I used from Plan G seem to work just fine.  I did notice however that Plan G has many more navaids and airports available than does FSX.  I guess since FSX in static in nature where Plan G is much more dynamic.  I have been using Plan G fligh planner as well with little problem.  For example, when I overstress an A/C the natural tendency is to start at the origin airport.  In my fligh plan I hop from many airports to airports and had some difficulty activating the leg I was intending to fly.  Lets say i started at "KFSM and hopped to KLIT then to KJFK" if i crashed after take off from KLIT, fsx would start me back at KFSM, of course I can start the fligh again from KLIT, but then the flight plan has to be reloaded from Plan G, by doing this the entire flight plan gets loaded with the wrong leg activated.  I would start at KLIT but the flight p lan active leg is KFSM and I was unable to activate the correct leg while flying and connected to FSX.  I also disconnected and still was unsucessful. I'm not sure if FSX or Plan G remembers the last leg flown of a flight plan so that i can be resumed at a  later time, unless it has to be manually saved under a differnet name.  Any suggestions, hope I didn't confuse you.  Thanks again.  Happy Thanksgiving!!
