Hi,
REGARDING: Outsourcing contract
It beats the alternative!
REGARDING: I’ll install the Beta from Scratch
There's really no need. However, please note that the problem with the
runway selection was being caused by the system downloading the wrong
database.
So, please go into the IYPDB folder under the root folder of your
simulator, and DELETE the file called:
IYP_RO.TXT
When you next run IYP, it will download the proper file.
Hope to speak with you soon. Thanks for all your help.
Regards,
Robert
