I wonder if FSX_ADS should just have a description change to encourage posting ANSI art in there? Fair call on the hassles of wading through stats vs other stuff.. I think that was at the heart of why we ended up creating different echos for different stats and reports etc... vs having them all in one echo.. it's a juggle.

You're the first person I am reply to as I read the feedback, but having scanned most replies already it seems many don't see any value in the stats being posted so often. So that's a strong theme for me.

Appreciate the input :) Keep it coming! :)
