Is FSP Dead?

Exactly as I thought FSP is dead, as is its community, PLEASE read the posts properly before you comment.

Sorry I bothered you all. It's amazing to me that so many people defend something that pays them nothing, living it seems in a deluded
virtual world!

FSP for this person, being me, is not dead. I dont fly in the sim without it. As for the community, its not dead either. Granted I used to be a
prolific poster on the forum, but a new job several months ago, and working hours that would make skin crawl (15+ hours a day
sometimes 6 days a week) means little to no time to post. I do float by from time to time, and see many new names as well as the
veterans, so dead, it is not, however making statements like "defend something that pays them nothing", "FSP is dead", and regarding
the community as dead doesnt win many friends, or offers for help.

On the subject of bugs, the biggest bug I have, the one that tops the lot - is the disappearing FSP from the task bar and self
aborting FSP
flights. This makes FSP unusable - it does not happen all the time, but makes you wish you hadn't bothered to set up the flight.

Ive had FsP since its release, and honestly, FsP has never disappeared from my task bar. It has also never self aborted. Granted my sim
has self aborted, but normally this is user error and installing things over other addons that dont work together.

But I haven’t pushed this fact since it has been mentioned before by others and no solution has been suggested.

And unfortunately since neither has ever happened to me, I cannot recommend any fixes or ideas. Wish I could.

I don't have a buggy computer as has been claimed. Read my post - I am a software and game reviewer as well as a web
developer and
electronics engineer. I have 2 test machines and both are cutting edge and self built. One is an AMD platform FX-62 with 3 GB of RAM
and a1GB NVIDIA 7950 GX2 graphics card etc etc, while the other is Intel based (Core Duo E6700 with ATI graphics X1800XT). Each with
twin 19" LCD monitors.

I dont doubt your abilities, but why would yours mess up and not mine? Our flight sims are like people. None are built the same way,
none are identical (sans twins, triplets, etc and even they have differences), and so our computers are different as well.

Again, thanks moderators, so much for the support in this forum - is anyone going to actually answer the question I originally posed?

Read my response about calling the program dead, and the community of helpful people the same....vinegar attracts no bees.

- I will rephrase it: Has FSP for FS2k4 been left on the sidelines?

Couldnt answer that one either, but FS9 is, well, basically drying up. Most developers are in a rush to release what is FS9 compatible,
and are working now on products for FSX. If Dan is working on FSX instead of FS9, I for one dont mind. In due course FS9 will be
replaced with the next gen simulator.

So in essence, let me ask this...what have you done to try to fix the problems you have had? Does the sim crash at all without FsP
running? How long does it take for FSP to crash (rough estimated time frame) . Are you trying the same flight? Maybe try a different time of
the day over a different continent as a test, using a test company. ETC. The more info you can give us, the bette we might be able to help.
