When I first setup the husky tools I found the same thing. I must have spent six months just playing with it before it all started making sense to me.

Then husky 1.9 changed a lot of keywords and I spent another few months getting that straight. Be sure you are looking at current documentaion. The web is chalk full of 1.4 husky setup.

Back in the 1.4 days I used those keywords. They are related to auto adding areas as they arrive for nodes that you give that access to.

My area configuration is fairly static these days and if I need to add any areas I just do that myself so those keywords don't exist in my config now. It can be done but you'll need husky 1.9 documentaion since some of those keywords are the ones that changed with 1.9.

I spent a lot of time discussing my issues with others to get past issues I was having. We could do that here, there are at least a few in fsxNet that run the husky tools and could help you along the way.

Mystic has a pretty good and easy to use tosser also. It has always been my hope that it would get past the issues that exist there like the busy nodes issue that happen periodically. g00r00 still works on these things so I am sure that will happen given time.
