Hi Andrew,

Got another one for you.

I've noticed that I receive tic files from non MBSE BBS's (Mystic at the
moment), and those tic files have a name similar to the file they are
representing. EG: pinet.tic for pinet.250, fsxinfo.tic for fsxinfo.zip.

MBSE is not processing those tic files - however if I renamed the tic file to
have 8 numbers (with .tic) at the end, they were processed. EG: I renamed
pinet.tic to 00000000.tic and it was processed.

I had a quick look at FTSC specs (5006.001 and 1039.001), and it doesnt
mention anything about how a tic file should be named (character limit nor
only numerical/hex chars, etc).

I then had a quick look at the code mbfido/tic.c and it looks like it will
only process a tic file if it has a length of 12 chars (being 8 chars plus
".tic". Could this be changed? Or is it referenced somewhere else that tic
files should be 8 chars (suffixed with .tic) and other BBS software is not
following that standard?

...deon
