Thanks for all the replys, gu2 They all give me hope that 2024 will be worth getting (eventually). I probably won't go for the aviator version ($200 is a bit too pricey for me), however, the $130 Deluxe Premium is probably what I go for (that's about what I paid for MSFS2020. MSFS2020 was not preprogramed for my CH Eclipse yoke (at least I couldn't find it if it were. I'll have to take another look). I've hardly used MSFS2020 because of this. I have yet to complete a flight in MSFS2020 because of the difficulty I've had because all the FS2004/FSX keyboard commands were done away with (or I couldn't figure out how to use them with MSFS2020.

Ok, first question: What are the differences between the standard, deluxe, deluxe premium, and aviator versions (aside from cost)? Question 2: Is the learning curve as extremely high as MSFS2020? 2020 was such a radical departure from FS2004/FFSX that it is difficult in the extreme to learn how to use (at least it has been for me!). Question 3: Have they returned to the FS2004/FSX keyboard commands (the major problem with leaning to fly 2020 is the fact that they completely did away with the 2004/FSX keyboard commands!). Question 4: Are all my 2020 aircraft and scenery addons compatible with 2024 (or am I going to have to throw out all of my 2020 addons and spend hundreds of dollars to replace them with 2024 addons? Question 5:Does 2024 come preprogamed with the major known control yokes and joysticks or am I gong to have to program it to work with my CH Eclipse and CH pedals (I'm still trying to figure out how to program 2020 to work with them! As nice as the 2024 trailer is, if the answers to questions 2 through 5 is not YES! I may have to pass. Given the aggravation I've experienced with 2020 I don't think it'll be worth upgrading to 2024 (especially considering the cost (which is even more expensive that 2020 was)!

It worked! I installed everything but the Bush Trip - Scotland option and MSFS started up with no problem!

Thanks for the reply! I will try your fix out. I'll let you know if it works for me...

I installed this free update in the marketplace recently only to discover that it isn't comparable with MSFS (or at least not my copy of MSFS). After installing it MSFS would crash during startup everytime. It was only after I deleted this update that MSFS would startup normally again. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix for it?

I had forgotten I had posted the request on how to employ the auto-coordination feature in MSFS! Hadn't touched MSFS in about a year. MSFS is difficult to get into. Hardest learning curve of any Flisim I've ever seen. Have yet to complete a single flight. My biggest gripe about about MSFS is that it didn't come preprogramed for my CH Yoke. Got the CH Eclipse Yoke and it's proving to be equally diffcult to program for use with MSFS. My second biggest gripe is that MSFS doesn't use the same keyboard\yoke commands that previous versions of FS used (FS2002. FS100 and FSX). BTW. where exactly is the auto rubber option in the assistance option? I haven't been able to find it!

Thanks guys (sorry to take so long to reply)!

If you didn't have rudder pedals, you could, in past versions of FS use auto-coordination to operaed the yoke and rudders simultaneously. Does MSFS have this as well? I'm unable to use my rudder pedals, at least for the time being, after having my right foot amputated two months ago. I lost my left foot in 2018. I hope to be getting a prosthetic for the right foot in a month or two. In the meantime it'll be difficult to operate the rudders via the keyboard. With prosthetics I'll be able to operate the rudders (but not the toe breaks)..

Hey, edetroit, turns out you were right! The orphaned imaginesim TJSJ jetways were from AES. I had to turn imaginesims' TJSJ off in AES BEFORE deleting it from FS2004's scenery library. Leaving the scenery active in AES kept the AES jetways active. That was the good news. There's a bit of bad news (more mysterious than bad though) to go with the good. When exiting FS2004 with the LatinVFR TJSJ scenery loaded causes one of those error messages saying the software you were using , in this case FS2004, "encountered an unexpected problem and had to close, etc. etc." No be deal really as it comes after FS2004 is already in the process of shutting down anyway. Not sure what is causing it unless its because I still Imaginesim's TJSJ scenery on my hard drive. It's deleted from fS2004's scenery library though so this issue is a bit of a puzzle...

I don't think the installer allows you to change the destination folder (but it might be worth a try anywayz). Without knowing the names of the jetway bgls it'll be hard to track them down.

I don't think so. They are static jetways and they were part of the WA3 TJSJ terminal building before I got AES. Regardless, how do I remove them?

The WA3 airports ARE by Imaginesim. They include Atlanta, Charlotte, Cincinati, Nassau, and San Juan all bundled together in World Airports 3...They are installed in a Just Flight folder, not a Imaginesim folder.

I recently purchased LatinVFR's TJSJ scenery (forgetting that TJSJ is included in the World Airport 3 airport scenery I already had installed in FS2004). When I loaded it I could see some disconnected jetways that didn't seem to belong. I contacted LatinVFR thinking this was a case of sloppy programming on LatinVFR's part. It wasn't. Turns out the disconnected jetways belong to World Airport 3's TJSJ scenery. I tried deactiviting WA3's TJSJ which made all the WA3 TJSJ scenery disappear EXCEPT the jetways! I tried simply deleting the TJSJ scenery from the scenery library. Didn't work. Deleting the TJSJ folder from the FS2004/Just Flight/WA3 folder didn't work either. Finally I tried uninstalling WA3 entirely (the WA3 uninstaller doesn't give you the chance to install or uninstall specific airports, it an all or nothing thing). But STILL the WA3 TJSJ jetways are showing up in the LatinVFR TJSJ scenery! How the heck to I get get rid of these WA3 TJSJ jetways!? As much as I loved WA3's TJSJ scenery, LatinVFR's is better and these orphaned WA3 TJSJ jetways have got to go!!!

To Ronzie: Yes, I know their site is still up. That doesn't necessarily mean they are still in business though...According to their website my order has been "completed"! Chris, sorry to hear that he has been dealing with some personal issues. I can apprciate that. I've been dealing with a personal issue of my own (my wife's health) otherwise I would have posted my queston a lot sooner... Actually, PC Aviators has always been my favorite FS vendor. I've probably purchased more stuff from them than from all others combined. They have been very helpful to me in the past as well. The speed of the delivery of orders from PC Aviator can't be beat unless you download it (I prefer having the DVD in my possession). I'm glad to hear that PC Aviator hasn't gone out of business. I would have been very upset if they had (almost like losing a personal friend)! Well, hopefully, I'll get a reply to my second msg this week....
