Plan G pausing FSX and creating a flight plan may not be working?

[Wigwag]

Two questions please.

1- I run Plan-G on a second monitor and anytime I mouse click on the map it automatically pauses FSX. Now going back many years on my old computer I thought there was a way to turn that off so that when you click on the map it won't pause FSX? If I remember correctly I lost the sound in the sim until I clicked back on the FSX monitor, but the sim continued to run without automatically pausing. 

2- This new version of Plan G 3.1.2 is a little different from my old one. Anyway when I try to create a flight Plan in Plan-G by clicking on the flight plan button in the quick ribbon up top (the manual says it's supposed to be the white icon just to the right of the Plan-G icon in the top left corner), nothing happens.  Also if I try the second method in the manual of clicking on the green file tab > new plan, the screen just goes back to the map being displayed. Anybody know why this might be happening.

Thank you.

1. Inside FSX, untick the option "Pause on task switch"

2. "New" just clears any existing plan from memory. Always has. To start a flight plan, right click your departure airport and select "Start flight plan from here". Or if you prefer typing, click the Quick Plan button (the D with an arrow through it) and you can type in the codes for your departure, destination and enroute waypoints.
