Someone said earlier that in SU9 when it disconnects, it connects to the text-to-speech, currently it doesn't do it so you fly muted until you land and just hear your pilots voice

This has happened to me a lot recently. ATC voices just disappear somewhere in the flight. I'm not on the beta though. Will switching to Windows text-to-speech fix this in-flight? Or you have to have it set before flight? Just tested, it won't.

I have a lot of stuttering with SU9. Opted out of the beta in Steam, my stutters are now gone.

But my Toolbar now also is crippled: the weather tab and fuel/load tab are gone.

Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem?

Had this happen early on in Beta also. How, reinstalled with verifying files.

Yes, go back to the SU9 beta and all will restore.

I had to opt back into the beta as opting out left the sim broken. No 'Ready to Fly' button when flight was loaded once back to SU8.

Last time I will join a beta with this sim.

I had some stuttering on my 1st launch of SU9 beta but I realized that I hadn't run my "cleaner", which is a powershell script that deletes content.xml and clears the scenery indexes. After I shutdown MSFS and did that, SU9 has been fine for me.

Could you elaborate please? What cleaner script?

you can easily do that yourself and delete those files, the files are here (MSFS store version):

C:\Users\<your user name>AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache

I put 2 lines in a Powershell script (simple text file with a ".ps1" file extension) on my desktop. I just right click on it and select "Run with Powershell" and it cleans up the scenery indexes and deletes content.xml. I use it anytime I change anything. Ever start a flight and get to the point in your pre-flight when you try to select a SID (in the MCDU) and the list is blank? This will fix that. Ever install an add-on and it doesn't show up in the sim? This will fix that.  

The magical, mystical two lines are:

Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\Captain\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SceneryIndexes\*.dat" | remove-item -force
Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\Captain\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Content.xml" | remove-item -Force

If your username isn't Captain, you'll need to fix that. I put this in CleanMSFS,ps1 on my desktop.

Thanks. I presume the sim rebuilds the indexes when it loads as it does with the content.xml? I'll do it manually as I get a CTD on loading a flight after I've changed the community folder quite often. Firing up in safe mode then restarting seems to cure it.

Looks good.

Does anyone know how the location differs for the Steam edition?

For content.xml      C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator

For SceneryIndexes    C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator

Yes, the indexes get rebuilt on startup. 

I use add-on linker. Every time i start the sim, there is different scenery in the community folder than what was in there the last time I flew. The old indexes based on the old config are wrong for scenery that the sim will be using so I clean them before flying.

My routine is to update FBW, then run the cleaner, then run addon linker, and launch the sim from it.

Two notes:

You can associate the .ps1 extension with Powershell so that all you need to do is double click it.

If one uses Navigraph, one must run Navigraph Navdata Center to remove and reinstall the Navigraph AIRAC Cycle any time that the Content.xml file is deleted and rebuilt. This means that if one deletes the Content.xml file, one must start MSFS, let it get to the main menu, close MSFS, run Navigraph Navdata Center to reinstall the AIRAC, then restart MSFS.

What kind of issue do you have that requires the AIRAC to be reloaded? I've never done that (except when the data is updated) and I always have the correct data in the in sim panels and in my flight plans. Content.xml is just an index of the packages installed, it doesn't contain any package data. The only way it can be missing the AIRAC data is if MSFS is not scanning the folder where it is when the content.xml file is rebuilt during startup.

That is correct about associating .ps1 extension to PS, but it is set like that intentionally on my system and I do not want to change it. It's not something I usually suggest unless I know who I am talking to. After I made that post, I remembered that I had been wanting to relocate it to my MSFS drive, so I did. I created a shortcut to it's new location on the Desktop with the target "Powershell.exe -File "E:\MSFS\CleanMSFS.ps1" to launch it.

Note: After I created the shortcut by typing it in as above, Windows adjusted it to look like this -> C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -File "E:\MSFS\CleanMSFS.ps1"

This way, I can still launch with a double click and not have to associate the extension to it (I occasionally use a customized PS shell so I don't always want my scripts to run in the "normal" PS shell.)
