Thanks Damian! Just one general question, that might have been asked before. For best operation of wxRE you suggest to clear all weather before starting wxRE. Seeing the availability of an FSUIPC CLEAR ALL WX command, I wonder why you don't let wxRE perform this at each initial startup and shutdown. You could also make this an option. Or are there nasty side effects of this command?Regards,Hakkie
