    I would just like to say thank you to A2A for releasing it for 2020. I bought it today through ORBX and the installation was simple. It flys perfectly and the quality is on par with their Comanche. It’s nice they didn’t forget us 2020 users. Much appreciated A2A!

    Hello all, I have a question about MSFS SDK developer mode. I would like to change some airport taxi lights such as the green taxi light and the blue edge lights. If I manual put taxi_lights_02 from the object-scenery, I don't see the light. I even can not change, or delete the airport lights in the current airport. I do not know what I am doing wrong, so I am here to ask you guys for information. How do I change the green taxi light and the blue edge lights of the taxiway? Dear regards, AMSpilot06

  3. Hello Gang. Does anyone have a clue where I could find the “HLM_Packages\Official\OneStore\” folder? Thanks

  4. And error saying the FSLTL models aren't installed is shown when I Start it. Yet, FSLTL models are installed as can be seen from the FBW APP, as well as the injector itself 😕 It's the first time I try to use it with su4 beta 1.6.16.0: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/679661-fsltl-update-question/page/3/#findComment-5600246 One detail I noticed is that the paths on that message show no ":" after the F drive designator and Community is written with lowercase "c" which is not a problem but... Other than that the paths are correct.

    So can you now just run fsltl in 2024 with traffic that follows fr24 or schedule? Or is it still just going to be random planes taking off and flying in opposite directions? Is it basically useless unless you use BaTC?

    Anyone using CABBY with the LITE Subscription? If so, do you like? Much of an upgrade from non-subscription version? Thanks.

  8. More so than visual appearance of clouds and weather between 2024 and XP12.x which IMO are essentially in the same ballpark secondary to the limitations of current voxel-based rendering I'm more interested in weather and cloud and terrain related physics effects on flight behaviors. I read XP12.x is much farther along in this domain and wonder if we will see these effects implemented in 2024. What do we know about this potential currently?

    Can someone be kind enough to explain why and maybe point me to a solution for VR flying. I use the AIG Ai aircraft models for traffic in 2024. If I use the AIG software injection method I have no issues, everything appears perfect. However if I use the Sayintentions traffic injection the landing gear is missing unless I’m up close. I’ve read that this is purely a LOD setting either by the simmer and AI model creator. In SIM my LOD settings are maxed out at 400 and 200. Obviously the problem is not with the models but with how SI uses them. I’ve reached out to SI for advice but was told their system only uses my already installed AI traffic and the problem…

    I’m contemplating a MSFS24 reinstall to see if it helps with some underwhelming performance issues with my new system that I posted about here earlier. I’m assuming since most things are streamed it shouldn’t be too hard to do…what do I need to back up for a painless reinstall process? I have a back up of my controller profiles, anything else? I’m on Steam. Thanks Dave

  11. Hi, Sometimes, clicking the AP master button on the MCP on the Skycourrier works. But generaly no way. I arm HDG, ALT hold, FD, the plane is stable, but pressing the AP button doesn't work. Has this plane some extra specifications for this or is it a bug ?

    But not very much money. I had steam msfs2020 which earned nothing. But 2024 was Store, so I earn points every flight. Then I have to click on the Bell icon the next time I open the sim, which gives points. I now have 18,000 points. 16,000 points is worth $10 gift card at Walmart, Domino Pizza, Best Buy Electronics, Burger King, etc. Hours of work for each nickle or dime! https://rewards.bing.com/redeem/

    From the beginning of the launch of mfs2020, there`s been terrible LOD issues with aircrafts. Flying in multiplayer is just annoying when you see aircrafts models change lod right in front of you, i been testing almost all default aircrafts and the maximum viewing distance is about 1km then they disapear. some aircrafts have maybe 1.5km and some others have less then 1km. Another issue is the gears on all aircrafts, Aircrafts are taxing around gearless at airports when flying on vatsim or using batc. This issue is even worse in VR due to the zoomed back camera. Cant believe its been 5 years and nothing have been done by the developers to fix it. (Not…

    Hello Gang! MSFS 2024 has been out almost three weeks. I've been using it every day, testing all kinds of different scenarios and settings. One thing I cannot help notice is the obvious absence of shipping traffic. I have shipping traffic set to the max of 100% in online mode. I have tested Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Hong Kong, San Juan, areas of real life heavy shipping traffic and nothing appears. I remember all the fanfare about shipping traffic using real-time routing from the shipping equivalent of FlightRadar24 and even collaboration with the GAIST team to produce this feature.......any ideas what happened to this?

  19. I try not to be a whiner, but something just doesn't seem right. I have been flying FS for 30+ years and I have been landing all sorts of aircraft (including the Fenix prior to the BFU) with no issues. I may not grease them all, but I certainly don't crash. Now, after the BFU most everything ends in a crash. Sometime I even seem to land softly and it still ends in a crash.(My most resent flight said I landed at 228 FPS but it still crashed). I know this has been discussed ad nauseum but are they looking to make any adjustments? Thanks, Dave
