PacSim KSLC 2024 Released
It looks like PacSim quietly released their updated KSLC for 2024 (and v2 for 2020) yesterday. If you own the previous 2020 version, the upgrade is free. https://islandsim.com/salt-lake-city-intl.html

Walkaround query.
Yeah... you should be able to walk around right from the start. Maybe another addon is stealing focus from the sim when starting a flight... try clicking anywhere on the screen to make sure MSFS is the active window.

User of both, compares SI and BATC
Hmm... I'm a retired controller. My last facility was Atlanta. I agree that ATC can't "force" a pilot to do anything; but if you want to land/depart opposite direction during an arrival/departure rush, you're going to be waiting a looooong time. Not saying it can't happen (the reason I said only partially true in my original response); but that kind of request is normally going to result in a big fat "unable" unless it's an emergency or it's been coordinated well ahead of time.

That's only partially true. Assuming the request is reasonable and/or there is an operational need to use a different runway, ATC will do its best to accommodate the request; but it is not the pilot's decision. ATC calls the runways/approaches in use and if a request for a different runway conflicts with the current operation (especially if it's opposite direction), it can and will be denied. With that said, the pilot could declare an emergency if they absolutely need to use a specific conflicting runway; but they'll have some explaining to do when they get on the ground.

FSS Updates the EMB 175 and 195 again Experimental
This is the first of nine really good tutorial videos on how to fly the aircraft... and they're pretty short and sweet.

AI Texture Optimizer Tool.....
Awesome. Thanks!

AI Texture Optimizer Tool.....
Does this method work in MSFS2024? I think I read elsewhere that it only works for MSFS2020 (hoping I read wrong).

FSS Releases Experimental Branches Of E-Jet Series Today
I had the blank MCDUs a few weeks ago with the stable version. I noticed that Contrail had installed it into the new MSFS 2024 "Community2024" folder. By moving the aircraft back into the standard "Community" folder (Contrail provides an option to do that), the MCDUs came back to life for me.

SU3 Beta 1.5.23.0 Out
I'm not currently in the beta; but if you have custom camera views, you need to back them up before doing a full re-install (they will be deleted). They are normally saved in: C:\Users\*UserName*\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\Airplanes\ Probably also a good idea to back up exe.xml If your community directory is in a custom path, it will also need to be redirected after a reinstall In this day and age, a full reinstall seems like a pretty drastic measure... I hope they don't expect everyone to do it when SU3 is officially released.

Fort Myers FL to Tropical Paradise *Part 1*
Very nice! It still blows my mind to see 4 seater aircraft like the SR22 (turbo) comfortably cruising in the flight levels... GA has come a long way in the last 30 years. Just as an fyi, the Bahamas are in the North Atlantic; the Caribbean starts south of Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, etc. Looking forward to part 2!

Custom Camera Views problems
Try exiting the sim and retry. I think there's a bug in FS2024 where if you edit the cameras in one aircraft and then enter another aircraft, the viewpoint coordinates don't reset correctly. I'm not sure about the details; but I avoid it by exiting the sim whenever I'm finished setting new custom camera views.

Anyone using Lossless Scaling.....
I've never used it; but I've read that accessing another windowed application (BATC, FS2Crew, FSLTL, etc.) disables Lossless Scaling in the sim. Is that true?
