  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
  4. 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. 🙂
  5. If you go to the MSFS 2020 Official/OneStore folder, you will find: microsoft-airport-kcgx-meigs-field that is the one 🙂 [img]
  6. 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.
  7. Unzip first, then copy the add-on into the. Community folder, without the sim running.
  8. You can make a shortcut to the folder on your desktop.. 🙂
  9. You can turn it off in the Settings. Settings / Sound / Volume levels / Music. Set to zero.
  10. This is somewhat inconsistent... the thumbnail picture may be generic in some aircraft. Not "uncommon"..
  11. Actually Official2020 and Official2024. The first one, I use to copy over 2020 aircraft that I would like to fly in 2024. The second one is used by MSFS to store downloaded items vs streamed items.
