You're welcome.

Another couple of tips for longer flights:-

You get Surface to 4000 ft above your chosen FL for climb and descent legs on the NRB but only 4000 ft above and below your chosen FL for en-route legs (those that don't include your departure or arrival a/ds). Judicious introduction of waypoints and chosen FL can therefore filter out low-level stuff if you want it to.

Secondly, if you are crossing an FIR in which you have no waypoints or ADs you won't get NOTAM for that portion of your route within the FIR in question unless you put the ICAO for the FIR in the "Additional Crossed FIR's" box.

For example if your route included SFD DCT EBCI (Seaford to Chareleroi) you would be crossing the Paris FIR but you wouldn't get the notam for that FIR unless you put LFFF in the additional crossed FIR box. You would get EBBU (Brussels FIR) because the software recognises that EBCI is within EBBU.
