 ===Aircraft without a navigation system===
-The route-manager is in 'auto-sequencing' mode; it will compute some basic route data (such as the total route distance remaining), and automatically switch to the next waypoint (sequencing) when passing the current waypoint. This will never drive the aircraft's autopilot (generic or aircraft-specific) - there is no connection between the route-manager and autopilot systems in this situation.
+A default GPS is provided for all aircraft; this is unrealistic but convenient for casual users and testing.
-This mode lets you use the route-manger in aircraft that would never have featured a navigation computer (eg, a WW1-era fighter), but only to the extent that the pilot reads the route-manager information and flies accordingly.
