but your response here is exactly why I dread posting anything.

I am sorry you feel that way, but I don't understand why you say this. Do you think I should accept any question in any post and in any sub-forum? The forums are not only for asking questions, but also a repository of previous questions people have asked to together, hopefully, with the resolution of the issue. This can then be used by others who encounter a similar issue, and if a post is properly titled and in the correct sub-forum then this can be found more easily...

I am spending almost all of my time on support these days, and around 70% of support requests have been asked before - and usually not just once but many times. The more I can reduce support, the more time I can spend on improving the software - and documentation. Maybe even one day I will get time for some recreational flying - it seems that I only fly these days fir testing or support issues....

I am (always!) trying to reduce the time I spend on support but this seems impossible - it seems that hardly anyone consults the documentation before posting, and even fewer people search the forum for similar issues. All I am trying to do is to help people to use the provided resources how they are intended to be used, and for the good of all. I do not mean to give offense or to be rude. And I can appreciate that new users to FSUIPC and to the FSUIPC forums sometimes (mostly!) don't understand how the forums work, and so I have to continually explain this to newcomers. But I do not expect to have to do this to people who have used the forum many times before....

There is also a sticky-topic in the main forum called READ BEFORE POSTING FSUIPC PROBLEM REPORT, not that anybody reads that either....
