    Hello all,

    I am trying to set up D'Bridge with Fsxnet and am wondering if anyone can provide some sort of cheat sheet for Fsxnet configuration as there are many many options.

    Options in question at this time:

    Message type, Fido/Msg or QuickBBS/Hudson format?
    Auto-creating message/file areas? (Echo/TIC processing)
    Compressed or uncompressed message format?

    Thank you in advance,
    Dean.

    D'Bridge should be easy enough that a cheat-sheet is not necessary. If you follow the step-by-step installation process, it asks the information of your uplink such as BinkD address, passwords and where a copy of the nodelist can be found. The software is completely menu driven and all-in-one so there are no scripts or batch files to worry about.

    You may press F1 for Help on any question. Most will be up to you.

    I have been through the documentation and help files, it is working for the most part.

    One thing that seems to be absent is the AutoPoll feature in scheduler
    settings in v4.x. 3.99 has this feature and the settings will dump to DBRIDGE.CFG, whereas 4.x does not seem to have it. Has this feature been moved?

    Yes. Please add a DOS event to the D'Bridge scheduler or use the native task-scheduler of your OS to run DBUTIL NORMAL POLL [address] or DBUTIL CRASH POLL [address]
