First and foremost a big thank you :) Tim for that great planer !

I've a small issue with the PRINT command for maps (the same command for the flightplan works OK). When I press the button on the right, the maps goes to the printer and get printed but, at the same time, the tabs disappear and I cannot get back to the main window. If I use a bypass through the RECENTcommand i get back to the main window but the tabs (and ribbon) are still nowhere to be seen. The only solution is to alt-tab, quit and open again.

Something I may miss.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say the tabs disappear? Can you provide a picture?

Hi Tim,

Here we go :

Flightplan PRINT



Map PRINT



So I'm stuck there except if I use the RECENT or OPEN command but then they dont come back  :D. 


The PRINT command works in both cases without any problem. 

thanks !

I can confirm with last beta build too.
Workaround: minimize (with Windows+d keys) and maximize (with the mouse click on the taskbar).

Hmm. Doesn't happen here. From the screenshots it looks like some strange graphics display/driver glitch. Are you running FSX on the same machine and overlapping the windows? That'll cause all sorts of weird problems with the display..

Same machine but not connected to FSX which was not running anyway, I guess, when I took the shots. I've used Plan G so far as a standalone to plan flights not to monitor them.

Thanks to SkyOne for the workaround, will try tomorrow.

No Flight Sim open; the tabs seem to be disappeared, not just hided. If I click and drag on the top of the window (referring to domkle's second screenshot, I can click and drag where he wrote "TABS have vanished") I can move the map!  :o
s/o is Windows Seven x64; I tried to use UK settings (date, time and decimal) but the problem still remains.
