Introducing FSX Planner Release 28.
This release is the culmination of several months of work to improve the user interface in order to set a new standard in FSX airport CAD applications.

A major part of the philosophy of FSX Planner is that the interface should be easy to understand and to use. With the adoption of this new ribbon menu concept, we hope that FSX Planner is now easier to use than ever before. The large icons make it easier to select the right tool or option. The newly expanded tool tips make it easier than ever to understand a tool's use and potential.

The five menu tabs are discussed below:
