I'm still using the FS9 version. When the first FSX version emerged it was
said the other one wouldn't work with FSX. I contacted the owner, telling
him it worked perfectly, so I didn't need buy the upgrade. I received an
abusive reply, saying he was the designer and knew what I was saying was not
true!

Still using it, for IFR flights.

He's a bit short on charm.
