    Proxy instructions are available on Aike's site ("Fly WB Free" on the top of the page).

    To be honest and not a criticism, but those instructions are confusing.

    I have assisted some pilots with settting up proxy with no problems. I have had no problems setting and re-setting mine either. However on a few occasions, while assisting others, I have encountered a file that in fact just says "hosts." But when the string is pasted in it, I get error message about the IP, and that pilot is forced to use the normal 276 bat. So here is the question. How do I or others create that windows host file. I have tried but it does not seem to work. I have even sent my host file and nada.
