This has arrived at avsim and flightsim.

Flight Log Client IS FREEWARE. Start logging your flights from now and keep an history of you Virtual Pilot life. Requires Peter Dowson's FSUIPC. Updated version (v1.6)."

Am I being paranoid about the possibility of allowing someone else's servers free access to my computer?

Any time a piece of software suggests that it opens up the community to allow your "friends" to be connected. . .you have to wonder. Personally, if this had come out about 12 years ago when I was flying 4 hours a day. . .sometimes more. . .I might seriously give it a shot. Nowadays I rarely fly more than 5 or 6 hours a week and could care less about tracking any of it.

Am sure it is a cool app. But I rarely download/install an app unless I am sure I'll use it. Thankfully a lot of them do not install, but operate from a directory. NC
