All of you who use this program will know that it's currently unusable in it's present state. Opening the program results in "You are using an old version, please visit the website for a newer version". But of course, the webpage has gone and it's creator no where to be found.
Frustated at losing one of my favourite addons, I've been trawling Google for a fix or a newer version. This morning I came up with a result. So anyone who uses it, and can't get it to work, here is the simple fix..

Set your computer date to 2005 (the computer clock) and then run the program again. It will run just fine B) Once you've used it, don't forget to set your computer clock back to 2006! :D

Actually any date before November 30th 2006 works ;)

The programmes designer hardcoded a disable date with the intention of bringing out a update. Unfortunately personal life intervened when Rana lost one of his children, I guess the loss and grief he felt was pretty much connected to flight simulation. From what I understand there is more to it than just that which I will not discuss on a open forum.

That's terrible! I'm sorry to hear that.
Well I am not expecting any further updates. Not that I ever do from something freeware, as afterall, it's just that - free with no gaurantees. But it did frustrate me it just plain stopped working.
Thanks for the date thing, as soon as it turns 2007, I'll just have to roll back to 2006 :D
