Richard, it

Larry (? -- I think that's right),Benjamin knows what we're looking for from him and just as I know what he's waiting for from me. There were changes required to make it compatible with our needs. Beta4 is the first that has all of the changes and it is not yet stable, by his own admission to me. Additionally, he's going to have to do something about the startup time, particularly on the initial installation. He needed access to VIP3 to address part of that and I helped him to get it.So, while it may seem illogical to you, it is in fact the case that each of us needs something from the other before beta begins. Yes, it's true that he is waiting primarily on a server change that we, VATSIM, are requiring. This change is of utmost importance to us and will continue to block progress on FSInn, SB3 and any other client that may be in the works until it is completed. That time is now fairly short.cz

Yes, Richard. You have my first name correct. Thanks for the explanation Now I see the logic. I'll wait a few months and hopefully won't be too much of a pest if I ask again off the progress in February. By the way, I was born in February. Maybe I'll get a birth gift. -- L.
