    Is it possible to create point nodes in fsxnet? Do i have to add them to
    a point nodelist or something?

    Totally. I am writing this message from a point - It runs at my Macbook
    so I can read/write mail offline :)

    I have also other points running other systems just for fun.

    Yes, there are already several points here, and as for needing a
    nodelist, probably not.

    Back in the day, there were Pointlists, but these are not in use anymore.

    Mystic can't even read them.

    Honestly there was never really any point to it (ha). As far as most networks were concerned they're just another type of user at the boss node.

    There are a few networks who still distribute a daily pointlist. I believe these are 'dead' networks, which are being run by Gert Anderson now. I'm not sure why he is still distributing these...

    I had one on my RA system, as there were 4 or 5 points (including my own).
