I have saved a Content.xml file to a separate location with all not needed airports/aircraft/cities/obsolete items from the sim disabled. I copy this file over the actual Content.xml before firing up the sim. Since I am using MSFS Addon Linker I only activate what I need before each flight but Content.xml on the other hand keeps all entries that were ever active and gets unnecessarily bloated. EDIT: Upon firing the sim Content.xml will get updated with whatever it finds in Community folder.

Same, always at the gate, cold and dark. Heliports won't allow for C&D so I park helis a couple of meters away, which can lead to some awkward situations... 🙂

I was landing at VHHH the other day and saw many ships below. According to LittleNavMap there were 467(!) AIs around me. Then I switched off BATC to eliminate the AI aircraft and I still had around 320 AIs reported. Most likely all of them were ships, because i didn’t have anything else running which would insert AI aircraft.

I used to fly for them way back in FS2004 days with Ralph Tofflemire's great "Ready for Pushback" B747-200. It was great fun flying the real cargo routes and I remember having many entertaining chats with fellow pilots and Ralph. An anecdote from those days: I had to fly to Europe from Havana with a fully loaded B742. I promised Ralph to bring him a box of cigars from Cuba. When I was over Florida, engine No.3 went kaputt and I decided to return to Havana. I had to vent fuel for I was way overloaded to land safely. Well, on approach late in the evening a heavy storm developed and I had the devil's time navigating through those thick clouds. On landing I managed to collapse the right main gear on the B742... so, my flight ended without the cigars for Ralph with a broken B742 back where I started from. I never heard the end of it but it was all in good fun. 🙂 I do not know how is Globe Cargo today, but the fact that they are still around says a lot. I'll go and have a look at the website.

Didn't know that.... thank you, this will come in handy! 👍

Sometimes I wonder how can everything work at all... 🙂 0. Addons Linker (before flight) 1. Edge (Simbrief) 2. Active Sky 3. Little NavMap 4. Aerotune 5. SPAD.neXt 6. Volanta 7. TrackIR 8. VAS ACARS (StarAlliance, OneWorld virtual) 9. FSHud or BATC 10. ChasePlane 11. Navigraph apps in background 12. Steam client 13. I also use Elgato Streamdeck but through SPAD.neXt

Corrected. I am usually not fond of abbreviations. Mea culpa... 🙃

I bypassed the Stream Deck software altogether and am using my SD with Spad.next + vJoy. Select a view in ChasePlane, then assign a vJoy value to one of the SD buttons in Spad.next, press the SD button, select "Press and release" and it's done.

When I switched to "Legacy" mode, mouse started working again.

Does it work with TrackIR? I know it works in MSFS 2020 but what about 2024? I could not find a definite answer. Thanks!

Its still free in the app, but I own the MSFS2020 version, that's probably why.

... and for payware aircraft, helicopters, scenery. For addons purchased on MarketPlace I agree with Noel, I also don't see any need to download and install those. Anyway, I have come to the point where I always delete at least Content.xml and content of SceneryIndexes folder before starting MSFS2024 if I make any changes in Addons Linker.

Solved... I am using FSLinker to "switch on" addons, depending on what and where I fly. It looks like that creates some confusion for MSFS2024. I deleted all files in SceneryIndexes and Cache Folders and, most important, Content.xml. Now all is back to normal, traffic injection works as does ASFS. Thanks to all who responded!

Suddenly, no AI aircraft are injected in MSFS2024. I tried with AIG Traffic Controller, FSLTL Injector, FSHud and BATC. None of these options will insert AI aircraft. I have "Aircraft Traffic Quantity" and "Parked Aircraft Quantity" set to OFF. If I change these two to "Ultra", then I get all sorts of Asobo AI - even with "Aircraft Traffic Type" set to OFF. Also, AIG Traffic Controller loads and then I cannot bring up it's window anymore. Never happened before... Has something changed, maybe with SU3? I have been away from MSFS for a while... Also, ASFS will not inject weather, I get the yellow triangle with weather control script error. Also, no ASFS icon in the toolbar. Could these two issues have something in common? Nothing in my installation changed, I checked and re-checked everything. Paths are correct. Please help... 🙂

I had a similar experience on two occasions, with the sim freezing as soon as the main menu appeared. This is what I did: Deleted all Nvidia caches, also DirectX cache Community folder is empty in C:\Users-user-\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 I deleted Content.xml, exe.xml, UserCfg.opt, FlightSimulator2024.CFG in C:\Users-user-\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 I deleted Cache, SceneryIndexes, SimObjects\Airplanes, WASM\MSFS2024 folders deleted ROLLINGCACHE.CCC And this was the solution (advice from the official forum): "Try to delete your cloud save files in Steam. First turn off the cloud save funcionality in Steam, the navigate to your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\50622762\2537590 folder: Here try delete first the remotecache.vdf file and try to load the game. If it still not working, go in the remote subfolder and delete the datausage, localprofile and profile_00 files. For me it solved it, but if you delete all 4 files, you’ll lose some settings. At least your inputprofiles will stay, just have to reselect them." Good luck! EIDT: it could be Nvidia drivers, tho! I had nothing but trouble with the latest, so I am still on 566.36

it works, but you have to set the time to current, as I have read somewhere. I have online traffic set to off and ships to ultra. GAIST ships begin popping up almost immediately. Best way to check is in LittleNavMap. Once the ships spawn, you can change the time and/or date.

Have you considered getting Track IR or Tobii Eye Tracker? I have all sorts of peripherals but this one I consider absolutely essential. Enjoy MSFS2024! 😊

Problem solved! I got the solution on the official forums and I am posting it here in case somebody else has this same problem: "I had a very similar issue. Try to delete your cloud save files in Steam. First turn off the cloud save funcionality in Steam, the navigate to your Steam\userdata\usernumber)*2537590* folder: Here try delete first the remotecache.vdf file and try to load the game. If it still not working, go in the remote subfolder and delete the datausage, localprofile and profile_00 files. For me it solved it, but if you delete all 4 files, you’ll lose some settings. At least your inputprofiles will stay, just have to reselect them. Also make a copy of these files, and if the issue is solved, make sure to upload them on the Zendesk Support page wth the issue description to help the devs solve this." @MrBitstFlyer, I will try what you suggest, hopefully the bugs are ironed out by now. Thanks to both! 🙂

Thanks, I was thinking about that, yes. But after my last experience with their zendesk when nothing was solved, I figured I'd try here first... 🙂 By the way, MSFS2020 is working 100%, so I guess that will have to be my sim of choice until I can figure out what is wrong.

As the title says, the sim freezes some 5 seconds after it loads. The music is still playing, mouse is active, but I have to shut it down either through Steam or Task Manager. I let it be for half an hour to no avail. Nothing has changed after my last successful flight, no Windows updates, nothing. Except Navigraph updates. I have a MAG B650 Tomahawk mobo, a MSI RTX 4090, drivers are 566.36, no Nvidia app, no GeForce Experience, 64Gb RAM. Later drivers gave me CTDs as well as did the new Nvidia app. I tried: - Deleted all Nvidia caches, also DirectX cache - Community folder is empty - in C:\Users\-user-\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 I deleted Content.xml, exe.xml, UserCfg.opt, FlightSimulator2024.CFG - in C:\Users\-user-\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 I deleted Cache, SceneryIndexes, SimObjects\Airplanes, WASM\MSFS2024 folders - deleted ROLLINGCACHE.CCC I tried disabling DLSS in Nvidia inspector, tried to swap with earlier DLSS libs (3.7.0 and 3.7.1) I also tried the latest beta (this morning) and then opted out again. Any ideas, has something like this happened to anybody? I seriously doubt reinstalling would solve anything, but I'll try that as well, since I am out of ideas. Thanks! EDIT: Forgot to mention: no error log is generated!

Well. I flew a short(ish) LJLJ - EDDM flight with CRJ 900; in Munich I had over 120 AI FSLTL aircraft around me according to Little Navmap, also active were BATC (no traffic management), Active Sky, FS-ATC-Chatter, Spad.Next, Volanta, and GSX. No stutters, no sound hickups while on previous flights I had plenty of both. More testing needed, but so far, so good! You might be onto something here... 🙂

Thanks for the tip! Communication Device Output and Main Device Output were indeed set to different sound devices! Now both are set to the same set of speakers. I'll start a flight and see how it goes.

I give up.... this is what I got from the support team after a lot of exchanges and screenshots: We checked your account and can see this item in your library. fs20-microsoft-aircraft-d18s Beechcraft Model 18 As your screenshot shows, this is shown as "Not Creator Approved" and in our previous message, we gave you the explanation what this means. Oh my... I have a MSFS2024 log to prove that the D18S was there and functional only a week ago! Now, after a re-install, I have none of my MSFS2020 Marketplace purchases anymore. I don't know.... English is not my primary language, but I believe people do understand what I am trying to say? In general? I guess I am out of options. Reinstalling does nothing.

For one thing, I do not have the "Deluxe to Aviator upgrade". Could that be the reason? But then again.... wasn't it confirmed that MSFS2020 purchases are/should be available in the MSFS2024 incarnation? So I should have the D18S regardless, right? And I did, before I did the blasted re-install. Quite frustrating, I am achieving nothing through Zendesk and I do not feel like spending 100$ for the Aviator upgrade to get something that I have already paid for.

Thanks for your replies! I do not have the D18S anywhere... this is really strange! As I said, I had a few nice flights with the D18S and Denarq's mod before I reinstalled MSFS2024. I did read the manual, oh yes! 😁 The twin was there, I did not have to enable/activate anything. After re-install, this is all I have in the library: D18S "Not creator approved" and if I enable this - instant freeze upon pressing "Configure". I might add I did clean everything, even deleted the "StreamedPackages" folder, "Content.xml", all caches and such. I am no stranger to messing with the sim 😄 But I do keep it clean, using the Addon Linker. I found the folder "microsoft-aircraft-d18s" in MSFS2020 ...Official\Steam and copied it to '24 Community. While Content.xml says it is "Activated" and I can find it in the library, it is disabled with no option to enable it. Stumped.... EDIT: I found the D18s in my MSFS2020 installation and copied it over to MSFS2024 Community. Well, the aircraft is Disabled in the sim, no option to Enable it. Further, in the Dev mode under Objects it is listed as "Forbidden"! And further, actually all my 2020 Marketplace bought aircraft are missing. Teh Caribou and ATR 42/72, for example. Obviously, my 2020 purchases do not register for some reason. And I did another re-install, all to no avail. Anyway, thanks for confirming the D18S version, I have a bigger problem.... back to Zendesk it is...
