My pref would be to make "fuel remaining - minutes" a separate pop-up (onto the clipboard) that is programmable to a control button or keyboard keystroke
No, no, no. That molecule is caffeine.

The E6B should not be a fly out page from the clipboard...when you click it, it should be hosted in the main frame of the clip map like the hanger, clip board maps etc

Same with the task group routings

Paint them in the main frame  of the clip board and give a "Back" option

The only reason a 'fly out' is warranted is when there is additional functionality that can be accessed simultaneously...such as when invoking the advanced features of a control setup

Zero logical reason to throw a fly out unless their are broader choices and the fly out serves the underlying command menu

Now, I know I'm not firing on all pistons today...but am I the only one who found that staggeringly illegible?

all of it made sense... except B-17's comment...  :noid  :headscratch:

As eyecandy... I like it along with the clipboard interior frame being "painted" or "windowed." I do see the utility of the popout... perhaps one day a customizable clipboard...
