This announcement here I believe, was the killing blow. The whole situation is a Catch-22. On one hand, POSCON is FAR from ready to be a paid-for service, with practically no one online ever. At this moment, there are 0 flights on POSCON. Vatsim reports 704 flights, IVAO reports 475 with a top of 852 the past 24 hours. Why would I pay to log on to POSCON and do my flight in complete silence? All the bells and whistles POSCON and the surrounding software (which I like a lot, the launcher is very good) has to offer mean nothing if there is no one around to use it. And furthermore, announcing that the free public membership members are shafted from any updates from now on surely doesn't help at all. On the other hand, POSCON won't ever become a new Vatsim unless people start to pay. I haven't made a single flight, I was scared away in the Beta, when pretty much all information I recieved was how I could be banned or punished, even for small infractions like using the wrong terminology when asking for a clearance. The reply I got when voicing those concerns in Discord can be boiled down to "be better, or use ghost lol". It was never meant for casual flyers, and they recieved what they ordered. For all intents and purposes as it looks today, the answer to the original post would be: Yes, POSCON is dead. Hi Peter, I think you misunderstood what he wrote there. There will be a free part and a paid one. The latter should finance the former so you don't have to pay in order to use POSCON. Also you won't get punished for using wrong terminology when asking for a clearance. If possible, do you by any chance know who said it or possibly wrote it? That way I would have the greater picture and can either ask why the person claimed what he did or maybe it was in a specific context.

I remember vaguely that having been asked on the Discord server. If I am not mistaken the reply was that there are currently higher priorities before that will be worked on

Hi there! I would suggest you also join the Discord server and report your issue there if you haven't done so already! I unfortunately can't help much with 1) but regarding 2) you do not start the pilot client from the Launcher but from the X-Plane Plugins Admin menu (XP only!) That answers the question regarding that message you see with the Plient Client
