Ok thanks. And let's say I want to fly a direct to a waypoint some pages ahead, how can I do this?

You can't. Even though the Captain Sim INS has the unrealistic ability to load, and change pages when there are more than 10 waypoints, in reality, the real CIV-A INS could never have more than the 10 waypoints entered, and as waypoints were past you manually entered the new waypoints needed to continue the route.
i.e. When flying leg 7-8 of the route, you then manually entered the new waypoints in waypoint numbers 1 through 6, so that when the INS started the  9-1 leg, waypoint 1 would ahead, not behind, in the route.
If you have ever used the SimuFly CIV-A INS, you would probably already know, and understand, this functionality better. Wink

Paging was created by us to improve usability and convenience. In fact, CIVA has only one page, which has 9 points, so regular means to fly from a waypoint on one page to the waypoint on another page is impossible.
If you do not plan to use intermediate points, you can simply delete them. This is done in the following steps:
- press the REPAIR button
- select waypoint number on the Waypoint Selector
- press CLEAR
- the REPAIR button will turn off

Within one page you can use standard procedure, described in the manual.
Also, all these steps shown at this short video:

Thank you, Mark!
One little note: you can use Captain Sim CIV-A the exact same way as SimuFly - just forget about paging and use only 9 waypoints as in the real CIV-A.
