Thanks...

I'm old school and like paper. I'm still trying to figure out some basic functions of these sims, Are there any publications out there to decrease the learning curve? Thanks

When I start P3Dv5, the progress bar shows the scenery loading, then it minimizes and drops to the system tray. That's it. I can't figure out a way to resume loading and start to to fly. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Does P3D support NVidia's frame generation?

Peter... Thanks. I found the Community folder in "Microsoft store" location. It is empty. Is that significant to my problem?

Thanks Bill... No luck so far. First, where is the Community folder? Resetting the cloud saves apparently refers to the steam edition. I have the MS edition. The frozen sim zendesk suggestion leads me to powershell. I have an older edition of powershell that doesn't appear or behave like the one described. The current edition seems to require some programming experience I don't have. If you can steer me to the community folder I'll check that out Gracias.

Hi Kids... I was starting MSFS last night and it started downloading a mandatory World Update. The download took a long time, then it started started decompressing files. The decompression ran a longer time and I thought it may have frozen. I gave up, and let it run overnight In the morning there was no change. I had to use task Manager to shut it down. Now when I try to start I get the option to proceed in safe mode or normally. Either way, t begins to load, but freezes at "New Activities." I can only exit through task manager... My guess is the update was corrupted... I have no idea how to proceed. Any suggestions... Thanks

Does P3D support frame generation? Thanks

Amazon: Currently Unavailable...

Thanks. I didn't know that.

Who is "they"? I downloaded direct from Blackbird. "They" did not link to the Microsoft warning and I wouldn't have expected them to.

With several, Microsoft defender blocks installation. Apparently doesn't recognize publisher. With others the installation path is unclear. Some installs appear to go normally, files download, but the aircraft never appears on within P3D. On a few I disconnected my connection to the internet during the install so Defender can't call home and block the installation. That appears to cure the problem, the install proceeds, but the aircraft doesn't appear in the selection menu. I don't know how old these models are, but some apparently look for P3D v4 path which must be different than v5.4. Overall, just one of life's little abrasions, but I'm glad they were free.

MILVIZ made a nice distribution of some of ther older stuff to be distributed free by Blackbird Simulations. No support though. I've found most of them just about impossible to install. What's the secret? https://blackbirdsims.com/flight/freebies.php

I'm building a new rig, primarily for P3D and MSFS. What is the most humane (and legal) to move flight sim files from one to the other. I have very large installations of these sims plus ORBIX and a few others. Can I use my existing license numbers to download a fresh installations to the new drives? Should I try to clone the drives? That would leave all the old junk on the new drives. Do I have to re-purchase the sims? Thanks.

I'm sorting out specs for a new build. Is the 4070TI worth @ $150 more than the 4070? Rig will be primarily used for flight simming Thanks

For my next and last computer this geezer is taking the easy way out. I'm tired of building my own and the associated problems. Anyone have recommendations for a reliable pre-built or system builder? Corsair One? Lenovo Legend? Budget in the $2,500 range. Thanks

Just checked the Milviz site to find out the latest. Now the site is up but branded as Blackbird Simulations... Pretty much wiped of products and references to P3D

I've looked at that same rig and haven't figured out where extra drives go either. My guess is that there is a mounting solution behind the poser supply shroud. I'm also concerned with ventilation. That's a lot of glass in the front. Is there a path for air to get to those front fans?

Thanks, but looks like add/remove doesn't identify point releases.

Thanks. That's it.

What 's the best way for me to tell whether I am running v5 or v5.1. I thought I installed v5.1 but don't see any difference. Thanks

Checked AMZN 8/27. Only ones listed are from 3d party sellers at 2X or more list price.

Is there a list of the flight controllers that MFS supports out of the box? I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2, without force feedback. It is recognized but I have to figure out how to set it up on my own. I've about given up on that and am considering purchasing a new controller (if I can find one) but only if it is supported out of the box. Is there any indication that MS will increase the number of supported controllers in the next update? Hard to believe they don't support their own hardware. It's old, but there are a lot of them still in use. Thanks

Is there any advantage to purchasing MFS through Steam rather than the Microsoft Store?
