  • Ideas for a better WINS

    From Matthew Munson@1:218/109 to All on Wed Sep 2 21:28:28 2026
    In the era of 500.3 I am thinking of developmental ideas. They can be
    3rd party programs or even internal features.

    * Improving the full screen editor

    * FSXnet Graffiti Wall Door for WINS

    * Litebar message reader/lister
