An FS add-on dies prematurely

Very disappointing day I had. I spent nearly three weeks working on an add-on for Microsoft Flight simulator that would take care of fueling, payload and other things.

As time passed I discovered several other applications covering the same functionality and since it was not possible to actually modify the payload programmatically from outside FS unless you wrote to the AIRCRAFT.CFG things were getting a bit awkward.

Today I discovered yet another application with similar functionality so I had to come to the hard decision of not wasting time in it and abandon the project :(.

Luckily some of that stuff I can use in my next FS project which I just started a few hours ago.
