Have I sold out?

I need some counselling.....
Trying to fly EGPF - EGCC in DM's awesome 510ED on fsx....using trad nav.
The DCS VOR is no longer a VOR, so the SRD route T256 DCS L612 LAKEY route worked fine until I left NORBO.....then I tracked NGY on the UT256. Then all DCS now provides is a DME! I found this tricky.
I then tried to track the ROSUN2A STAR by aiming for LAKEY.....but the TNT VOR wasn't in range to get to LAKEY reliably. I wasn't happy with the resultant off course route I took.
I then committed an atrocious act - I planned the route on the GPS in fsx, with the intention of switching to the GPS next time I do the route.
Am I being too purist and pedantic, or should I just go with it and accept I'm in the 21st century?
Please share any similar guilt trips and thus alleviate my sin.....
