Am I the only one having this cone on taxiway A?

I pinged him on Discord and linked your picture to the message. Hopefully he sees it.

  • Man these approaches look really bad.  I was hoping Bill would do this, but it seems it's up to the community again. None of the current Portland tree and water fixes are very high quality so I decide

  • I still do not understand why interior are made....those are wasteful resources on vram, memory, cpu etc.  Is there a market for airport interiors? Looks cool though

  • The Flight Level
    The Flight Level

    I wonder how many of us actually spend time viewing the terminal interiors regardless of detail? Unfortunately, for my eyes, the appearance of the people instantly kills any level of inside detailing.

I forgot to ask you, how do I embed a pic? I used to used a website when I was posting pics, but it's been a long time and forgot how to do it.

Hopefully, Bill is checking our forum and fixes anything that should be fixed ASAP.

I use the Imgur service (https://imgur.com/). It's seamlessly integrated in the tool "ShareX" (https://getsharex.com/) which allows - among other thing - to screen shot or right click on image and then automatically upload it to Imgur and provide a link to paste into a avsim message.

Thank you! Now that it's confirmed I'm not alone having the issue I'll create a ticket it could ease their customer feedback 😉

Check my free MSFS sceneries : https://flightsim.to/profile/vbazillio/trending and my hardware configuration.

Yep, I'm aware of the barrel. Just ignore it for now and we'll remove it in a patch soon. Patches require their own testing cycle, so I'd rather wait and see if anything else needs to be addressed before issuing one.

It's out now. Picked up at the flightbeam store, then downloaded via Contrail for $10.

The river still shows the black lines and the bridges to the west are still not fixed so the approach doesn't look as good as it could, but the airport is worth the upgrade price.

 

I hate those lines, but sadly they happen for me even without any add-ons installed. It's a sim problem, it seems.

I wonder if the 2020 version will work in 2024 even if it’s not native?

It should work okay. A native version will work better, and I'm working on that. Originally, I planned to have the 2024 version out first, but I had so many problems with the sim pre-SU1 that I had to set it aside and finish the 2020 version. Now that 2024 seems a bit more stable, I hope to be able to finish up soon.

They do show up even with default.

There's a freeware KPDX Int. at flightsim.to that fixes the bridges to the west and even reduces the black lines. I'm trying to get the dev FreakyD to remove the airport from his freeware.

I get a imgur bbc code to show up on AVSIM as a pic.

2nd Edit.  All sorted, purchased at discount and installed.  My problem was I missed the” 50% off not free upgrade” and the miss is all mine.  Thanks Bill.  A steal at ten bucks, even if for the third or fourth time LoL 😎
 

Howdy Bill.  I purchased most if not all of your sceneries over the past decade or two. Many purchased multiple times.  You are worthy!

So my problem is I have a receipt for KPDX for MS2020 (edit) and it says, quote:

Note: No serial number is needed! Simply download your product, install and login to Contrail (MSFS products) or the Flightbeam Manager using your store credentials. Detailed installation instructions here.”

Comtrail is demanding a serial to deliver my V2.  Don’t have one.  Can you help?

TIA,

(edit:  purchased Jul 2021)

Changed MSFS2024 to 2020

Stinks that if you bought on the Marketplace there will be no discount.  I bought and paid for KPDX in P3D, XP and v1 in MSFS - so much for a reward for supporting the product.

Have you contacted Flightbeam or Bill? I'm sure that if you show proof of purchase, they can help you. I speak from experience.

No, I did not but only because Bill made a blunt / frank statement to another user on FB's discord. As it has been explained to me, the Marketplace doesn't share user info with us, so we have no way of knowing who bought what. For all the ease of use, the Marketplace has significant drawbacks, and this sort of promotion is one of them. Short answer, no, we don't seem to be able to. Sorry.

Thanks Bill, I've read elsewhere that the 2020 version is working quite nicely in 2024.  That will certainly be a good hold over until the 2024 version comes out.

I purchased from Flightbeam Store and used the discount code in the description.  Login to Contrail, make sure it is linked to your flightbeam account and your purchase should be displayed.  Also, since it is not 2024 native yet, you need to be in the Fs2020 page on contrail and if you want to use it in 2024, use the custom directory option. Hope this helps.

Ah. My home airport looking a lot better. 2024 should be even better.

Good memories flying home to KPDX after deployments. Especially at night.

Typically going from a "certain" location to KSEA, then a short hop on a Bombardier Dash 8 into KPDX.

The lights and sounds. Good memories.
