Hello all, I just got my Cargo Pilot and installed it. I have one huge question though.
 
How the heck do I get to fly during the day? All the airports in range of me are so small they are dark at night, and as you can imagine this makes it kind of difficult to land.

Navigate to C: -> Program Files -> Microsoft Games -> Flight Simulator 9 -> Cargo Pilot (...or the corresponging place for FSX.)
 
Find the file "CargoPilot.cfg"
 
Open it with Notepad
 
Near the bottom look for two lines that look more or less like this...
flightHourEarliest=0
flightHourLatest=23
Edit them for the earliest and latest hours you want a flight to begin.  Make sure you don't leave any spaces.

Where in Michigan?  I'm a retired, transplanted Michigander, basking in the Florida sunshine.

I know that area.  I grew up in Ludington; had my career in St. Joseph though.  Snow melted yet?

Mostly, still a little in the woods.

Hey, I just finished a flight, landed at the right spot, shut down the plane and even opend the door (no parking or gate because it was such a small airstrip) and the debriefing said I didnt compleat the flight. Any ideas what I did wrong?

Was the tracker running?  That or wrong airport are the only things I can think of, but you said it was the right spot.  In FS9 you have to start the tracker manually.  I don't think that's the case in FSX.  Not sure which you're using.
