Hi hafu1939!

Thank you for to share that tool with us.

But if you are a FMB user, surely you will need to considere the wind speed and its direction also (well... it's if you are including any wind in your designed missions).
In such case, the E-6B would be almost a 'must have': with that tool you will can calculate a lot of things relative to the flight.

In this link you will find general information about the E-6B: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E6B

Following this link you can download de user manual of the E6-B in .pdf format: E6-B Instructions

And in this link you'll have a realistic on-line simulation of the E6-B (it's a bit tricky to use: with left click and dragging you can move the disks; and with right click you can zoom it in and out): http://www.pilotinside.com/images/tools/e6b/e6b.htm#top

Give it a try, and let me know if you find it useful.

Have fun!
