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. Gerry Winskill On 09/06/2012 15:26, Mike Lucas wrote:
I'm in the same position as Paul. I was annoyed when the FSC developers brought out V9 and discontinued V8's ability to display live ATC positions - but I soon realised that I didn't rely on it, so I have continued with V8.6 (plus Plan-G and Routefinder). Keep your £20 for something else, John!

Having said that, I still use FSC 8.6 on a regular basis though not exclusively, I'll also use routefinder online (http:/rfinder.asalink.net/free) for heavy metal routes or plan-G for VFR. Is it worth an additional £20? A personal choice, not for me though I paid for FSC7 then again to upgrade to FSC8 so I think they've had enough of my money when I can do evrything I require without the additional features.

I currently have v8.6 and downloaded the v9.2 trial. Apart from a couple of small things and a nicer looking interface I don’t see a lot of difference. So was just wondering if it’s worth the £20 upgrade. I haven’t been able to find any up to date reviews online so any opinions would be welcome **** ** ** Cheers**** ** ** John H (2) **** No virus found in this message.
