Just got an email from Parallel 42 announcing the release of this product, did anyone try it? I'm tempted.

The bonus features might be interesting to some;

• Skip MSFS Intros: Allows you to skip annoying intro branding trailers (asobo/blackshark/etc).
• Skip Undesirable Popups: Allows you to suppress network disconnect popups & more.
• Skip Sim Updates Screen: Allows you to bypass a sim update by hitting [CONTINUE]. Nothing is worse than being prompted to download a massive update when you just wanted to enjoy a quick flight!

I thought so too. They seem very useful.

I decided to bite the bullet and bought it and this thing is amazing. Dunno what they've done but my loading time went down to almost half. It loaded in 6m55s before and now in 3m50s (my sim is on HDD, not SSD). Without FSLTL it loaded before in 3m58s and now in 1m33s!

Also love to see the loading percentage and already saw some very nice airports for future flights. Very nice. 

In the interface tab I have everything enabled except "Enable cinematic zoom". Didn't like that one because the zooming pauses several times during the loading.

Also, it's 10% off, instead of $14.00 I got it for $12.60.

Well done Parallel 42!

Instabuy

I just bought it, but there is a problem with the installer. It seems that my store version of MSFS (on drive g:) is not detected. 

I am told to use the xbox app to move my unencrypted files. But where to, they need to stay on the drive they are currently installed to.

Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks. 

EDIT: I chose the same folder for the "move" where I originally installed MSFS and now Stripr has detected my installation. So if you need to repeat this step, no worries.

Mine is the Steam version, just had to open the sim and it auto-installed.

Glad you sorted it out.

What's the atc problem you are using 

I ordered Stripr a few minutes ago. When MSFS came out in 2020, I installed it on drive U: (SSD) and since then it is running rock solid. Stripr cannot detect it even if I launch MSFS. I for sure will not move any file of my MSFS-Installation just to get this tool running. So for me it is wasted money at the moment.

Gentlemen, if you are in a relationship or married, please have your spouse present when purchasing this. You don't want unnecessary drama when the bank statement arrives. 

 

More on topic, this seems interesting and I may give it a go after looking at some reviews. I bought Flow and am happy with that purchase. //42 are putting out some interesting products. Props to the team.

Nice, it loads so fast with that SSD. Looks like I need a new PC.

So when using a SImbrief flightplan it doesn't show images of other world airports, correct? I didn't try it with a SImbrief plan yet.

It is not actually moving the installation. Just tell the xbox app to use U:\MSFS (or what you called it) and in about 10 seconds it will work. Would be a pity to have paid for it and not give it a try.
