Thanks, I will give it a try. Bruce

Night graphics are in general an improvement over MSFS2020 except for being too bright in any moonlight other than full moon and one other gripe is that you get street lights on major highways well away from built up areas - but this has always been the case in earlier sims as well. Bruce

AFAIK you need to replace the 2024 default 787-10 with the 2020 default version for the Horizon 787 to work in 2024. Bruce

OK figured it out. Now the only problem is that with a 10 sec google search I can find out that the weather today at Milford Sound is cloudy but Active Sky displays it as CAVOK. There are other discrepancies but of a minor nature. I guess this would all relate to how/where from AS is getting its data from. It may be from stations not all that far away but due to local topography could well have very different weather. It can be pouring rain at Milford Sound but dry and mild on the eastern side of the Southern Alps. Would Typical Weather by Parallel 42 be a better option? Perhaps not as typical weather for NZMF would be IMC and IRL you just have to wait for a break in the weather to fly in and out. Having live weather that actually worked for NZMF would be the best option. Bruce EDIT Milford Sound looks fantastic in MSFS2024 with CAVOK weather

I have Active Sky but how do you use it so there is no snow? Thanks.

Forgive me for a minor gripe but with live weather there is still permanent snow and ice at Milford Sound (New Zealand) after 5 and a 1/2 years and two simulators! Bruce

Having Pause at TOD enabled is very helpful even if you don't run your computer for 9 hours (although I do frequently). You can be on a two hour flight and be away for your PC and get back only to find that your aircraft has passed TOD and is now well above the Vnav profile - you may be able to retrieve things but it will be a pain to do so. So if there is some trick to unpausing at TOD for the A340-600 I would also like to be informed as well. Bruce

May have to consider this as I don't think I would get a BS King Air if it has a 350 airframe but analogue gauges (as in 2020 which I passed on). I would rather have the older B200 with analogue gauges. Takes me back to FS2004/FSX and the Aeroworx B200. I know it is not the way Carenado do business but perhaps there will be some worthwhile updates for the B200. Bruce

Well yes that is the sort of thing I was also hoping for. Bruce

Hmm- a few worthwhile improvements but overall a largely cosmetic update. Bruce

Hmm tried this and it doesn't seem to work all my content.xml edits get overwritten at next FS boot. Bruce

Well I had to get this bird as there hasn't been a 340-600 since early FSX days (may have been earlier) and because I made the mistake of getting the inbuilds A340 with the false impression it included both variants - my bad. Now I can see why many are banging on about textures being below par but hopefully it will do the job as it is unlikely we will see another developer do an A340-600 any time soon. Bruce

Yes while this is a bit off topic I would be more interested on the BS Caravan if it had a G1000 option - so that not being the case the 2024 Kodiak is very appealing. Bruce

Grateful to the OP for raising this issue as it was puzzling me as well. I always thought MSFS2024 was an entirely new sim built from the ground up but I see now that this isn't quite the case with large chunks of MSFS2020 stuff also included. Bruce

OK Fixed - a conflicting controller binding was the cause of the problem Bruce
