I do.. and in most situations it does not bother me. The overall look is just fine, and in many cases better. I also believe, without proof, that it may help with overall performance.. My only concern is that the sparser trees may not cover some of the ugly PG artifacts as well as the bushy trees in the default.. Only time will tell.. 😉

I have copies on my shelf as well, and treasure them.. Having said that, in 2026, you may as well go with the trend and start watching Youtube videos... they do contain the information you are looking for.. 😉

Flying into smaller airports, I really like BB over the default. Just flew into Bowerman and it looks absolutely lovely. Ultimate test for me, is looking out my window in the PNW and seeing believable vegetation... Have not tried Bijan, so cannot comment.. but for the price, this is a really nice and uncomplicated addon. I may be imagining this, but performance seems really good too 🙂

Always nice to see Jorg's enthusiam and commitment to the sim! On the odd chance that he might read this... It sure would be nice if model matching for multiplayer/group flights could be improved further! At least we no longer have airliners dropped into a GA flight, but having a twin engine Caribou appear when you are expecting a low wing prop plane (BKSQ Commander) is still far from ideal. This was better in FSX, so we know it can be improved. Kindly put this one on the fix list! 🙂 And yes, please fix the disappearing nose wheel as well 😉

It needs the 2020 version of the B350.. but as explained above, that can be copied over to 2024. I fly this mod in 2024 without issues.

While you are waiting, you might want to try the G1000 mod for the 2020 Asobo King Air.. it is really nice! Free at: https://flightsim.to/addon/61143/king-air-350-g1000-cockpit-mod Copy the 2020 Official/OneStore/asobo-aircraft-kingair350 folder to your Community folder first.

We are going to visit the northern most part of the Norwegian Coast, starting in Bodoe. This follows in the footsteps of a recent 18 day cruise that I took, starting in Amsterdam and ending in Dublin, Ireland. We start at a sign found on the pier in Bodoe: As you can tell from the sign, we are already well above the Arctic CIrcle, and plan to proceed to the North Cape, via the Lofoten Islands, ending up in Honningsvag. Documentation The flightplan can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3lzbbzqqmndhwdg3u8nin/VFR-Bodo-ENBO-to-Valan-ENHV.zip?rlkey=hopw94nezviri1ti47mrqx04g&st=i76n745c&dl=0 Aircraft This is a flight of about 400 nm with 7 landings, so we need an airplane that can cruise at 250 kts. I will fly in the Beech King Air. Please fly what you like. Additional Scenery All the airports are in the default simulator. That said, several addons, found on the to-site, can enhance the scenery, especially the bridges that connect the various islands. You may already have these from previous flights. Time and Weather For takeoff on Wednesday, set the simulator to 11 a.m. We typically prefer real weather but I recommend the default “High Clouds” preset. Multiplayer Particulars Date and time: Wednesday, August 19, 2026. 1800 UTC (2000CEST, 1400EDT, 1100PDT) Where: RTWR Multiplayer Discord Channel Microsoft Flight Simulator Multiplayer: South-East Asia server. If you want to help others enjoy the multiplayer experience, don't forget to enter your aircraft details on the multiplayer spreadsheet (linked here). Your courtesy will save others a lot of time and effort. Thanks!

This was the default airfield for Microsoft Flight Simulator for many years, and like many, I grew attached to it.. Having it back and working nicely puts a smile on my face. 🙂

See below..

If you go to the MSFS 2020 Official/OneStore folder, you will find: microsoft-airport-kcgx-meigs-field that is the one 🙂 [img]

The one that comes with the sim.

I had the Microsoft Meigs scenery working nicely with DD Chicago Landmarks until the latest City Update.. now I had buildings encroaching on the north end of the runway and ugly piles of rocks at the edges. Microsoft Meigs has higher priority than DD Landmarks, but that did not do the trick. Until DD finds the time to update their scenery, here is a workaround (credit to Mike Mac): Copy over the MSFS 2020 version of the Microsoft KCGX airfield, add zz in front of the name and drop it into the Community folder. Disable the 2024 version of the Microsoft KCGX airfield in the Library settings. This should give you a clean version of the original Meigs airfield along with the nice DD city scenery.

Unzip first, then copy the add-on into the. Community folder, without the sim running.

You can make a shortcut to the folder on your desktop.. 🙂
