Parallel 42 Stripr

 

Does this work seamlessly with AddonLinker?

I have the Store version of MSFS 2020.

Could you confirm that this removes the id**tic "bandwidth too low, click OK" pop-up? That would be a really big thing for me.

This option is now disabled by default. This is only really useful for devs or creators with low bandwidth that need access to the sim at a very specific time and cannot wait for the large download to finish. Things can go wrong at some point but the fix is always a simple relaunch away.

Cool. Could you please confirm @qqwertzde’s question? Thanks

No, it installs directly in the sim's core files.

It replaces it with a passive notification, yes.

I currently have my simulator setup with individual countries, to speed up loading times and only fly in the specific country i have loaded through AddonLinker.

So, if I have set up AddonLinker to load only Australia, will this program override this and load the whole world, of which I have over a thousand addon Liveries, airports, utilities etc?

Kind Regards

No, it installs directly in the sim's core files and doesn't touch your Community folder.

Thanks Keven,

I'm the older generation of simmers, so I just need to be completely clear as I'm not really understanding.

You state it only installs the core files and doesn't touch the Community folder, how then do I load just the specific area I want to fly in with the Liveries and aircraft I have set for that area.

Sorry to be pain, and not fully understand, but just want to be sure this is suitable for me and my setup, before I purchase.

Kind Regards

Hi Brian,

This program doesn't interfere with Addons Linker or what you load in the sim with it. It just replaces the sim loading screen. I also use Addons Linker like you do, you'll be fine.

Thanks, Alvega,

Appreciate your advice.

I wouldn't call it a cash grab, but, as I said earlier, the program just seems unfinished and rushed. It's certainly nice to be able to replace the 300 new airports!!! 50000 points of interests! Landing challenges!!!!! screens with serene satelite images, b
other than that, I don't know. It displays your simbrief departure and arrival airport, but it would be nice, for example, to have the complete route displayed with additional info, like time of arrival, cruising altitude, etc. or an overlay of the plane moving along the route. 

I'd say it's a solid first effort, but I expected a little more from Parallel42.

" 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! "

Replacing and customizing the loading screens is a good and useful idea, but the price for what is essentially a higher-level little mod is much too high.

Well don't complain when CTD occur in the future 😉

Looks nice. I could buy it for 5 bucks. But since I really don't need this, I refuse to pay 15 bucks. During my "loading screen anxiety" I can always do something else than stare my screen.
