Somewhere I read where you could copy the Nav Log from FS Flight planner to your kneepad. and review it while flying without having to pause FS> Any one know how to do this. Any help will be appreciated very much.

Hi Kelton,
I am not sure if this works for the whole flight plan but it definitely works for the arrival airport information.
Once you have the plan finished click on the airport in the map like you would during a flight, then once the information is on screen
press Ctrl+C. Next exit out of the Flightplanner and get back into your plane for the flight. Now open your kneepad and click on the Notes tab. Click in the notes field and then press Ctrl+V. This copies all the important info into the kneepad which you can then open with F10 at anytime during the flight without the pause.
Don't know if this will work for the whole flight, but you can try that procedure and see if it does. ;-)
One more tip would be to open the notes.txt for the plane you plan to fly before you start FS and delete the old information, so you don't have to do it within FS, which is a little slower.
I made a batch file for my favorite planes that I run before each session that deletes the notes.txt out of each plane and copies in a blank one. (That is for the really lazy people }>)

Happy Landings
