The widget appears on my Flow Pro dial, but when I click on it, nothing happens.

Hello Tom,
sorry for the inconvenience.
Can you send me a message in Discord with a screenshot of the widgets console output?
It is accessible when you long press the widget and click the edit button in the top right corner.
This would help me reproduce the problem.

hmm it was working but stopped now - I am wondering if its due to Sim Update 12?

Yes unfortunately it seems like it.
Parallel 42 is aware of it:
" SU12 beta breaks some //42 Flow widgets. This only affects users on beta builds...NOT production. We expect to fix things by the time SU12 goes into production. Sadly we're not alone."

This is excellent, thank you. Instant replacement for simple airport overlay.
I was able to make a few tweaks for myself. Made the background more opaque, made the font black, added a space between the mileage and the word miles. Just little customizations that were easy to introduce with this helpful foundation. Mine looks very legible against most any scenery. Thank you so much!

Great to hear that :)
Yeah just starting to learn CSS. So I leave the styling to talented people ;)
Really a strength of Flow that you can easily modify it to your liking!
Feel free to share your css code if you dont mind.

After discovering that my changes did not work well in dark conditions, I adjusted a little further. Basically, I changed two lines:
background: rgba(255,255,255,0.2);
color: #000;
I ran it with font-size 1.7em on stream last night, but I think I can get away with the default 1.5em. It gets to be a long string when you're in, say, Murfreesboro, Tennessee. And I prefer to keep it from word-wrapping as much as possible.
So then in the JS, I just added a space before miles, so it reads:
let airportString= nm + " miles ";

Sorry - I just can't get this widget to show. All my others show OK (all in the Community folder). I've checked that the folder/file structure is OK and even regenerated the layout.json file ... no luck! This is with the MS Store version, SU11.
UPDATE: Re-installed - all working fine now - sorry to trouble you!

Glad it works know!
Let me know if you have feature or change requests.
