Yes.. I'd be inclined to agree but you know FS.. it's good at throwing some oddments in I rarely use FSX as it happens with 99.999% of my simming still done in FS9 with no real intention to move. Like you, I have a lot of time and effort as well as money invested and cutting the apron strings is much more difficult than with previous sims. My AI shipping in FS9 is limited to a few bits Rick was doing as part of the VFR free stuff before it folded but it's there and I like to see it ;-) In fact, the only reason I ever go to FSX is to fly on and off the AI carriers which isn't often!
