Frank,
Alex has raised this issue on the Pilot Club forum a couple of times. It's
been met by a stoney silence.
Watching the use of the Pilot Club server and I can see it getting closed down
any time soon. I think our Wednesday sessions are its peak period. The
Germans seem to have a session running at the weekend but that only attracts 4
- 5 players. Otherwise you might find just one or two pilots connected at any
one time. As I write, there is no-one connected at all! Indeed, yesterday I
did one of my round the world legs and was the only one on for the majority of
the flight. Further, I see the use of the comms channels has dropped too, as
many of you know the German contingency were using Communicator while playing
online elsewhere. I've a feeling the Pilot Club team have backed off and are
targetting there energies elsewhere with the Pilot Club site being maintained
only while it is cost effective to do so. Since most of us signed up for a
years membership I can see it winding down as they come to an end
Paul in pessimist mode

Just a thought, dual boot. Use Vista for FSX and the rest of your
activities, and WinXP for FS9.
You will need to install WinXP first to your main partition, and Vista next
on another partition.
Or a removeable drive bay, with one drive setup WinXP, the other Vista.
Just a thought.

Frank,
Its a solution of course, but I was hoping that the days when we can only use
FS9 on Pilot's Club were numbered.
I don't know if its any guide to serious flyers in general, but I think about
8 out of 10 of our Sunday morning group have switched to FSX, which we use with
FSHost. As we fly VFR mostly in the UK, the Horizon scenery in FSX makes it
relatively easy to follow progress simply using a road map.
Is there any sort of progress report available on the progress re FSX from
Pilot's Club?
