    Similar to the other thing, but this is linked directly to Flow. Haven't tried it...looks interesting though. Here's the link. Intro Terrain LOD and sometimes Object LOD are the main settings affecting performance on many systems and we know how hard it is to find a balance between good performance on the ground at complex scenery or dense cities while at the same time not losing quality when airborne when the stress on the system is far less. This widget for Flow Pro adds an item on the wheel that solves this compromise. Its main purpose is to switch Terrain LOD and Object LOD at a predefined altitude automatically.…

    I have mentioned this problem before, but I am starting to get annoyed at the number of payware addon airports that suffer from misalignment of runway centreline markings. This is a real bug bear of mine, and it drives me nuts when I see it. I have been enjoying quick flights at many of the addon airports that I purchased during the Christmas sales, and several of them suffer from this. I will not mention any names until the respective developers have had a chance to respond to the support requests that I have sent, but the last airport that I landed at was quite shocking in this respect. The centreline markings were all over the place, and one of them even looked like a …

    Setting up a new pc. I uninstalled msfs on old pc, then ran the as team install on my new pc. When it reached 25%, I left it overnight. When I checked this morning, it showed 190 G downloaded although I noticed no shortcut on the desktop and when I checked in the PC only 1.9 G downloaded. I have reset on line services and checked my MS account with no change. Odd as I had no problems installing on my old PC V grateful for any help.

    I've been flying with this mod exclusively for the last year or so... Just curious if anyone moved back to the standard Bing or if they are staying with the Google Mod. If you moved back, why did you decide to do it? Thanks!

    Well, what a difference this makes, eh? It's like a new sim. I can't tell you how bored I was of seeing summer trees and fields in November. If you are still on the fence.....get off of it. Even the trees are now at a correct height. 20 quid and it's literally changed the world.

    Not sure if I have things setup wrong or not, but I have a 470Ti with 3 monitors. When I enable the surround feature it screws up the monitor locations every time. I always have to reconfigure their positions. The when I turn the feature off to go back to 3 separate monitors, only one works until I go through the entire setup all over again. Works really well in the Sim, I'd just like to know if there's a way to make it work smoother when turning the feature on and off.

    I have just noticed that v3 of the JustSim LGRP Rhodes Diagoras scenery is selling for only £3.79 on the MS Marketplace. The screenshots look quite nice, but that price (considering that it is normally only £4.19) has made me pause for thought. Does anyone here own this scenery? If so, is it a solid rendition of the airport? I am not asking about whether it is value for money. I just want to know if the 3D modelling and texture work is all "clean and tidy" (for want of a better term).

    Just bought YGLA from ORBX. What a magnificent rendition of this airport. I worked at Gladstone airport and this is as true to life as it gets. Even has moving trains beside the airport ! Superb work.

    Havent been around here in a while. Finally got a nice enough computer to run this sim in most if not all its glory. My big question here is understanding the file structure and why they seem to be in differing places and on different drives when I installed the Steam version into my D drive which is a new WD Black 4TB SSD. I have a separate directory I created on the SSD for this install . I just recently installed this drive specifically for FS so it has no other folders. These folders are labeled Flight Sim, which is what I named it for the FS install, and Steam Library which appeared after the install from steam which took FOREVER, but thats another story 😉 The Flight…
