Hi Todd.

A comment and a question..

The guide refers to DG command which has been depreciated I think and now
there is just DD and D3

I'm picking swap out DG for DD which creates all three drops files

24/04/2019  03:08 p.m.                94 DORINFO1.DEF

in the temp dir of the node logged in.

My question is (and I have a feeling I may have asked before?) can I add this
info the fsxnet wiki also with attribution to yourself?
