January 13Jan 13 Author 5 hours ago, Treetops45 said: A note for the TFDi folk following this thread - the MSFS 2024 livery file names are too long. When I go to put the unzipped livery into the Community24 folder that runs off the C drive, (C\User\etc, about 5 or 6 layers down), then add the livery file name , I get a message saying the total string is too long, do I want to shorten the file name? If I shorten the livery file name are there particular parts of it that must be in the abbreviated version for it to be recognized? Thanks T45 Have you enabled windows long path option? It should fix this problem https://superuser.com/questions/1807770/how-to-enable-long-paths-on-windows-11-home Edited January 13Jan 13 by MPL Mikael Leinonen
January 13Jan 13 Hello, I am noticing an issue in msfs24 with the new tfdi MD11 - the fps goes from 100 fps in vc down to 50fps in outside views. Only the passenger variant exhibits such behavior. Has anyone been experiencing such issues? Thanks!

I have Win10 Home edition, which doesn't provide for gpedit.msc, so I looked at Regedit & tracked down through it to find that LongPathEnabled was already a '1'. But it also wants something else set for LPE to work. So I will dig around & see what I can do. T45

In the meantime I found a work around. When you unzip the downloaded livery, the file name goes "tfdidesign-& so on.pack. If you click on that, the same file name appears. So I copied the 2nd iteration of the file name over to the C:\user\etc community24 folder & it took, it was not bounced out. & I have just found the test livery in MSFS2024 & now I'm going to see if it flies T45

January 13Jan 13 Well I managed to get the update and also installed extended sim simulation - Very much impressed so far, the textures look much more crisp and aircraft sounds have been improved bit too. There were some issues on 2024 but I think since then developers have patched it. I was literally about to retire my MD11 fleet last week and move onto B777F but I think I am now going to put even more hours in MD11 and visit practically every destination FedEx used to fly prior to their grounding of their MD11 Fleet. Do we know where I can find routes flown by MD11 previously? Mostly interested in FedEx routes - Can't use FR24 or flight aware as these airplanes have been grounded.

January 13Jan 13 Initial flight with MSFS 2024 is going well. I noticed 1 difference with respect to MSFS 2020 - on the Autopilot in FS20, when you hover the mouse pointer over, say, the Heading dial, you get a downward pointing arrow, or moving the pointer 'up' slightly, an upward pointing arrow. Left clicking on the former has the AP setting control the heading, left clicking on the latter, [upward arrow], has the FMS control the heading. In FS2024 I am not getting the 'up/down' arrow choice when I hover the mouse pointer over the Heading dial so I am wondering if I should be, & thereby have a Setting incorrect somewhere? T45
