Potential improvements for sky colors

Now I´m not sure anymore if this thing works.... At least the hotkey is not working although I have changed the ini file to true. I put the files to the second choice of that MS Store path. Although there is no exe file... Go figure...

then it can't work. there are several locations for the .EXE

try 1) or 3) location instead. at 2) there is no EXE on my pc either.

btw: the is a typo:

C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Packages\ Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe

must not have a blank between: "\" and "Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe"

but that location doesn't have the EXE anyway on my pc.

It has to be in the same folder as the exe file or it simply will not work.

Edit: The Turbo beat me to it! 🙂

If there is no exe file, you have the wrong folder.

My exe file is on the folder Users/My name/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps/Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe. I try again...

but file length 0 ? that won't work either.

[Virtpilot 156]

Yes, the exe file length is 0 

Edit: yep, not working... Well, not a big deal. I´ll wait the official change from Asobo. Thank you for your hard work though...

why don't you try 1) or 3)

I have the correct size in both locations on my pc: 138 MB (145.006.592 bytes)

MS Store

• C:\XboxGames\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Content
• C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.34.16.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

I will not compromise on certain responses to certain comments from certain people.

You’re standing very close to the cliff edge. Choose your words carefully.

I described a few pages earlier how to create that. you may have to install Xbox app and check this :

I tried it on my Steam edition. Works fine! Very cool! I was really reluctant to modify the executable, so this is very handy now. Thanks a million to @Biology and @Drunq

It seems to also reduce the yellowish tint in daylight overcast scenarios also, just tried in realtime in PANC. Very very cool, love it!

The "XboxGames" folder will be there after you follow these instructions: https://parallel42.com/blogs/wiki/converting-my-sim-install-from-legacy-to-modern
