Good ;-)  I was also originally of the mind that displaying a "similar" 
default a/c would be best, but the more I've thought about it, the less I 
like it.  Although my opinion counts for little since I'm not able to 
influence the decision by coding :-)

Yes - if I remember right, OS' MP server has for some time now ensured that 
your client only gets data about other a/c if they're within a certain (20 or 
30 mile?) radius.  So you are encouraged to join a MP server every time you 
take FG for a spin - the more the merrier :-)

Ah sorry, I forgot about the language difficulty... your emails are well 
written but I understand that working in another language can be slow and a 
lot of effort.  Actually, I'm constantly put to shame by the number of 
non-native English speakers on the IRC channel and their fluency - it's easy 
to forget that English is not their first language.  I'm afraid in this 
country learning foreign languages is usually (or certainly was when I was at 
school, not all _that_ long ago) a very low priority.

Yes, it's nice to have "company" in the simulated skies - OS, Vivian and a few 
other developers have put (and are putting) a lot of work into it.  Not being 
a C++ programmer, the best I can do is to help with testing :-|

Cheers,

AJ
