There are a couple of open simulator questions or observations.
One was a note that custom datablock settings are not retained across sim sessions and can we provide that capability - I had forgotten that we intentionally made this change to the sim a few weeks ago at the request of our Sales crew who were repeatedly demo'ing the system and part of their demo was datablock setup so each time a guy started up the sim, the datablocks were non-standard and they found this confusing. I suppose we can switch back to normal behavior like the flight boxes if there is a strong enough groundswell of desire. Anybody care to comment strongly?
Another sim issue was that the Traffic shield (Normal, Above, Below, Unlimited, etc) could not be set via the traffic thumbnail - was this normal? That was a good find and it was a bug in the sim code. That has since been corrected but we haven't yet reposted a new sim with that fix. Will try to do that next week.
