New SU 12 Beta Update [1.31.20.0] - March 2nd, 2023
Sartanius replied to DAD's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
This is from the initial SU12 Beta Release Notes (1.31.18.0): "Fixed live traffic planes staying stuck at hold short in some airports" Hopefully this "general" fix worked for KATL. I know I would appreciate that. -
How to stop taking screenshots of all screens
Sartanius replied to 737_800's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I use Microsoft Window's built-in Snipping Tool. You can access it with Win Key+Shift+S. The tool allows you to snip whichever monitor you like, or any portion of either monitor. Works like a champ. -
Just an FYI... this patch is nearly 100% installation issue fixes. There is also a fix for simconnect and performance issues related to nameplates.
-
You can also try these two links (Link1, Link2) from Microsoft.

Thanks MS, you have saved my sanity :)

Thrilled to ready your story, Graham. No one in the world can debate you about your personal experience, and I am very encouraged to hear it. Flight simulation is many different things to many different people, but clearly for you, it is exactly what you needed. Who wouldn't celebrate that right along with you. Blue skies, my friend! -
Map Legend and ATC call sign settings not saving
Sartanius replied to captain420's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Yes, correct. This hasn't yet been implemented. There is a Self-Help / Wishlist subcategory on the MSFS Public Forums where users can make their desires known to MS/Asobo. Haven't looked closely enough yet to see if Avsim has something similar. Since the dev team read these forums, might be a good idea. Have not seen this reported and it works fine in my installation. You can try starting MSFS using "Run as administrator" just on the off-chance there's a directory or permissions issue with your installation. In any event, you can report bugs/issues with MSFS using the Zendesk portal. You will have to log in using your Microsoft account credentials. -
Map Legend and ATC call sign settings not saving
Sartanius replied to captain420's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
As a workaround, you can edit the aircraft.cfg file for each aircraft and embed the aircraft identifier as well as the call sign. This is a permanent change until such time as that aircraft.cfg file gets overwritten in an update. The .cfg files are located in the content directory at <MSFS Directory> / Official / OneStore under each specific aircraft folder. -
I have no VFR Map !!! Or other toolbar options ..
Sartanius replied to Age_27's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Ok, my mistake completely. The link is to a post from back in Alpha/Closed Beta testing and since you weren't a tester, you can't go there. DOH! My apologies. I'm afraid I don't have any other suggestions other than a complete uninstall/reinstall. If you go that route, be sure to clear out any leftover folders after the uninstall. -

Hey, my friend. The link is still active in my post above. -

Sartanius replied to Age_27's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Hey @Age_27... do you have an account on the official Microsoft Flight Simulator forums here. Here's a post over there where the issue is solved. If you don't, here are the steps. Please backup these folders (below) first and understand that you are doing this at your own risk. 1. Go to the main MSFS content location, Official/OneStore 2. Find "fs-base" folder and delete 3. Find "fs-base-ui-pages" and delete 4. Restart MSFS, allow content to update, check in-sim Toolbar. Some have also fixed this with a complete uninstall/reinstall, but that is the last resort. -

Just a possibility here - you can try opening the Gear option on the right end of the Toolbar and hitting the Reset Panels button. -
Maybe somebody could help me find the right person
Sartanius replied to bob5568p's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Hey, Dominique. Thanks for the kind words. Was there from the beginning, and along the way was asked if I'd be interested. Decided to give it a try. Has been fascinating, and very enjoyable. Stop by and say hello sometime over there. We have a great team. -

Sartanius replied to bob5568p's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Hey Bob - Does this Xbox Support page offer you any help? Also, your Microsoft account is a critical component for using MSFS. If you are having issues with it, I would focus there first. Here’s a link to get started working with your Microsoft account. -
A man of impeccable character and patience. He will be missed. Praying for his family during this time of grief.
-
Not really sure what your point is here... I'm grateful we have both of these companies. They are not competitors and are in completely different industry spaces. The products they provide are necessary and valuable.
-
Yes, absolutely. Doing an uninstall will deactivate P3D. If you have any PMDG aircraft installed, be sure to deactivate them before uninstalling P3D. They are deactivated via the FMC.
-
My simulation activity mirrors yours, and I’ve enjoyed several hundred flights in the PMDG 737. This is a great time for the flight simulation hobby! Welcome aboard... great to see you here.

With ActiveSky set as discussed above, when you open P3D you should see the historical "Weather Date and Time" window on the ActiveSky Wx Control tab update to show the current date and time you have set in P3D. You state that "time is set in the past by 1 week" but you said in your first post you are starting the sim with "The time and date is 1300 on 01/01/2019". That is 11 months ago, not last week. The date and time shown on ActiveSky's Wx Control tab with "Historical Weather Mode is Active" set should match the exact time you set in P3D. Again make sure the ActiveSky "Force Historical Time to Sim Time" setting is checked.
-
Gary - To do this you simply select the "Wx Control" tab, then select "Historical Weather is Active" and then check the small box that says "Force Historical Time to Sim Time". I do this all the time and it works as advertised.

Hey David. This update was posted last week (11/27). See the post titled "November 27th, 2019 – Development Update" pinned at the top of this forum. The next update is scheduled for tomorrow (12/5).

Back up and running normally here. Forums still show as "Coming Soon". Likely back-end prep for tomorrow's announcement.
