      Hello Andrew!              Friday September 21 2018 18:04, you wrote to me:                      VC>> At the moment I am currently running this version and have for        VC>> some days with no adverse results but cannot say that the        VC>> conditions have arisen where this fix shows up but I do have at        VC>> least one downlink using Mystic (v1.12A39 binkp/1.0).               > You won't notice anything unless a Mystic node sends you .TIC files.        > Mystic by default names .TIC files with the same name as the archive        > they relate to.        > ie: the .TIC file for fsxinfo.zip would be fsxinfo.tic.               > This causes problems with MBSE versions before 1.0.7.9, because MBSE        > expects that all .TIC files will be named with 8 character filenames        > followed by .TIC.
