Flightsoft for Windows arrived yesterday. I have been an avid user of FSpro (the DOS version) for years and love the program. The windows version is an all together different story. The program was not ready for market. It lacks many features of the DOS program and many of the new features simply do not work. The program is flawed in how it calculates such important items as fuel consumption and it has entered random numbers into calculations a number of times. Add to this the fact that it doesn't work with my ATI driver and parts of the screen are missing and it is certainly not a good product at this time.
On a brighter note. Their support was gracious and prompt and a "less bug free" version will be out in a couple weeks. How much "less" is a question and when and if they ever get all of the options working is an issue still. I suggest giving them about 6 months. The time they should have waited to ship the first batch.
