I hope this is the right place to post this. I am long time simmer (FS4). Been on 2020 for about 2.5 years. My problem is I am trying to move over to 2024. The control bindings are very different from 2020. Also the settings menu is giving me fits. Every time I go into the sim, I have to reselect what profile I use. I also have to deactivate devices that I am not using. Example, for B777 I use spad so I have to deactivate the Bravo device. If I leave the sim & come back to the same plane, I have to deactivate the Bravo again. Very frustrated. Any suggestions.

Still no go on FS2020.

I run MS2020 very well for over a year. No problems of stuttering. Saturday I updated Windows 10 to Windows 11. Since then I am getting stutters. This seems to be happening with various planes. FPS is fine at around 50FPS as it was before. I have updated my drivers, cleared my various cache locations. Not sure where to go from here. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. Pat

Greetings all, I have the B737 600 & 800. When I am landing, I am getting all the altitude & minimums callout twice. I have them turned off in the simulation options but turned on in the aircraft options. I tried to reset the option to default with no success. Any thoughts? Thanks. Pat

I figured out the problem. The Navigraph database was not updating. When I manually updated it worked fine. Sorry about that. Pat

Sorry if this has been asked before. I am importing a simbrief flight plan & when I do it says the following navaids & procedures are not found. BLAQQ, RADYR2 & ANJLL4. They are in MSFS 2020. I have reloaded the sims scenery data base & Navigraph is up to date. Any suggestions? Thanks. Pat Callaghan Jr.

If it's not Rocky Road I am not interested.

Here is a picture of me flying by Mt. Hood on my way to PDX. I am wondering why the snow looks green? I looked at some of my older screenshots & they do not look like this. https://imgur.com/G2t6mvl

Thanks.

Problem solved. Thanks allot. One question, how did you know what cities or airports are in which BGL file? I have the excel sheet with the files that are on the install disks.

I found the file but it is dated 2011 instead of 2003. I will swap the one from the disk & try.

I have recently discovered some of my Texas airports are gone. San Antonio & all the ones around are gone. Austin is still there. I am trying to figure out where on the FS2004 disc is the right files. I know the scenery files are on disc 4. I really do not want to do a full install. Any help would be appreciated.

I will give that a try. Thanks. Pat

I have a few questions with the same goal. I want to delete duplicate default AI planes flying in FS2004. I do not want to remove all AI, just the duplicate ones that look like they are flying in formation. Seems like Cessna & Learjets mostly. I have the 2 sets of bgls decompiled but do not know what to do now. I use WorldofAI for my airline traffic with no problems. 1. What is the difference between traffic.bgl & traffic30528.bgl? Any assistance would be appreciated. Pat Callaghan

I have the mixture controls to full rich since the scenery is MSL. The fuel valves are open as per CTRL-SHIFT-F4. I have tried the Flight1 default situation. Nothing seems to work but uninstalling Acceleration & reinstalling SP2. Pat

I have had this problem multiple times before. I have FSX with Acceleration installed I can't start any piston engines. CTRL-E does not work. Default or 3rd party planes. Jets will start, pistons will not. If I uninstall Acceleration & install SP2 everything is fine. I have tried different startup situations, deleted my FSX config. I have had this happen on 3 different computers with different operating systems with no change. For the record FS2004 works perfect. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Pat

Problem solved. I found a couple of threads about using an older driver. One mentioned 301.42. I tried it & no more problems. Overall faster too. Thanks for all the help. Pat

OK. Here is what I have so far. When I have "Transform & Lighting" off, my aircraft textures are dark & uneven as the screenies show. When I turn it on, my textures are fine but my FPS drops by about 10-12 FPS. I seem to have the flickering stopped. I really appreciate your help BTW. Pat

I have used ATI cards for the last 10 years. My HD4850 recently failed. I aquired a Nvidia GT530 as a stopgap untill I can afford a new card. I am looking for a recommendation for my settings. I use FS9 on a Phenom X2 545 chip with 4gigs of ram. I am just looking for a educated starting point. Thanks. Pat

Very nice shots. Wish I was flying FSX.

According to the FCOM I have, the -200 is fitted with auto spoilers. Pat

Bill, Did you also install it in the C:\Windows\sysWOW64 folder? It need sto go there also on 64bit systems. Pat

So I was right in dragging the localizer to the runway centerline, but by not changing the front course is where I screwed up. Pat

Jon, Thanks. I will check. I have World of AI but thought all bgl's would either be in the scenery or addon/scenery folder. Pat

I moved (drag) the ILS to align it with the runway center line. I recompiled to get the new bgl in the addon scenery folder. Pat
