I agree it looks green to me too. But there was also one other poster who already said it looked fine (not green) to them. That is the problem with trying to decipher someone else's computer display "problem" from a screencap posted in a forum post. Any kind of "change these settings on your computer" from just looking at the posted screencap is just a guess.

He posted a picture of what HE sees while sitting in front of HIS monitor. What anybody HERE sees is dependent on THEIR monitor settings while sitting in front of THEIR monitor while browsing the forum. That concept is lost on way too many people in "graphics posting" forums who end up saying things like, "Your image needs more\less contrast, brightness, red, green, blue, (insert whatever OTHER monitor or Nvidia graphics adjustment you could make). The concept is also unknown by anybody who posts something like, "Hey! I just found the PERFECT graphics settings for the flight sim. Use these!", because those settings will most likely produce a DIFFERENT image on someone else's computer\monitor. Just sayin' 😉

I'm late to this thread (been out of town away from computer yesterday and most of today), but I have to chuckle at the YouTube "Official Trailer" video in the first post. Having lived here in Las Vegas since 2003, I'm gonna risk the ire of some folks by pointed out a couple "Huh?" things about it. For instance: 1. There is no such thing as the "Hoover Bridge". Many people also refer to it as the "Hoover Dam Bridge", which is also incorrect. What it did was replace the need to drive over the top of Hoover Dam, which was a pain in the *ss and total bottleneck, as passing over the 2-lane dam was the only route from Las Vegas to Kingman, AZ before the new bridge spanning the canyon was finished. The official name of it is the "Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge" Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge - Wikipedia . If you call it the "Hoover Bridge" to a local here, they're just gonna laugh their *ss off at you. There's a Hoover Dam, but no Hoover Bridge. 2. "Las Vegas Lake". No, no, no! There is no such thing. The video shows "Lake Las Vegas" (also called "Lake Las Vegas Resort"), which is the name of the COMMUNITY that the "water" there is a part of. But the "water" is actually a RESERVOIR. Lake Las Vegas - Wikipedia . The overall community is considered a RESORT area, but there are individual homes, condos, etc that are privately owned. But if you have to ask how much it costs to buy one, you can't afford it to begin with. 😉 Anyhow...no such thing as a "Las Vegas Lake". Yeah, I'm nit-picking. But the above info is for anybody who may not know the things "listed" in the video are incorrect names of them. But if you want to use those names, that's OK. I'll still "They're tourists, aren't they?!" laugh at you (but in a nice way). (Yes, I'm laughing at you, Asobo, for not doing your own homework about what is in an "Official Trailer"...GASP!) 😁 Other than the above, the scenery looks OK. But I'm also deleting the Asobo Strip part of the download and keeping my Fly Tampa Las Vegas strip buildings active. They just look a whole lot better (and accurate to the real buildings) to me.

It's not just you. The same thing happened to me. I've never had to reinstall any of my previous 3 MSFS2020 products since installing them over 4 years ago. And they had always been available on my Microsoft Store page for downloads. But not now. When I went to do a reinstall now my Microsoft Store page showed only ONE of my 3 products as "owned" and regardless of which product I selected I would get "pushed" to the Xbox page from the Store page. There I showed all 3 products but I only had to download and install ONE of them to get all 3 of them installed because 2 of them were listed as "bundles" of either the first 2, or all 3 of, the products. And they all seemed to insist on also installing the "Digital Ownership" version (?) in its own separate folder too. That was totally confusing after never having to download any of the 3 products separately from the MS Store for almost 4 years. It looks like everything MSFS2020 on the MS Store will now involuntarily "push" you to the Xbox site to get any of you products now. And the "push" seems to be designed to get you to sign up for the monthly Xbox subscription to even use MSFS2020 if you are on a PC. At least that's what happened to me. Sounds like the same things may have been happening to you.

Well, something has changed, because I also had my original core install files on my (PC) C: drive and the rest of it in a D:\MSFS2020 folder, where there was always ONLY a Community and Official folder like you say it should work. But after uninstalling and getting FORCED (this time?) to use the Xbox App to reinstall everything, when I got to the point of telling it where to put the D:\ MSFS2020 stuff, the ONLY choice it gave me was to use a default "D:\XBOX GAMES" folder, or create another folder myself. So I created the D:\MSFS2020 folder, and the darned installation then created TWO SUBFOLDERS in it...one named "Microsoft Flight Simulator" with ONE subfolder named "Content"... and another named "Microsoft Flight Simulator Digital Ownership" with a bunch of cryptic other stuff in it. I didn't ask for any "Digital Ownership", have no desire to use the "Pay Per Month" Xbox wallet drainer fee, and as a PC user would really just like to be able to download the installation file(s) myself and put them where I want them without jumping through all these hoops. For this re-install the Microsoft Store FORCED me to do the install using the Xbox App, as opposed to when the initial install several years ago (and all previous updates since then) were available as separate downloads from within the Microsoft Store itself. I have no idea what the heck is going on with it now, as this CORE re-install ALSO got put on my D;\ drive buried in a new "WpSystem.......Local Cache\Packages\Community (and) Official..." folders THERE. And it appears all my current World Update re-installs are beings added to that "Original" folder location now (along with I'm assuming everything else I continue to download from Content Manager will too). This whole process is just silly. And with all the "server problems" lately, and the "push" now to get even the MSFS2020 users to "join" the "monthly convenience fee" for Xbox "gaming" now, it would not surprise me to see MSFS2024 become a "pay per month for server use subscription" thing. Seriously...how could a company sell a one-time fee for a program that MUST use server downloads every time the user uses the program, and NOT expect "server bandwidth problems" if the program sells enough to overload the server capabilities for an extended time period of like the 4 years we've all been already doing it? We PC users are "locked in" to using servers that are also supplying Xbox users now for all their OTHER games too. There's no such thing as a free lunch for us unless MS out of the goodness of their hearts says, "Yeah, we'll invest a ton of money to upgrade our server capability just to keep the "free" FS PC server users happy." Yeah, I'm not very optimistic about any of this right now. 😇

Exact same thing happened to me a couple hours ago. Everything I tried to "fix" it failed. Xbox nor MS Store would let me re-install anything, so I gave up and uninstalled everything (only thing it WOULD let me do), cleaned up all scavenger leftover folders and files, and I'm currently 100 GB into download of 134 GB. But I'm pretty sure that's gonna be just the first of many more LONG downloads because the download speed sucks right now too.

Well, I'm a bit confused now too. The screencaps show the new settings being used with the VFR mode selected. Are these new options ONLY for the VFR mode? Or are they for IFR mode too? Do they only benefit the VFR mode? Would I possibly want to use them in IFR mode? Neither the above posts nor the readme explain that.

But this is one of the "variables" issues that @Restore simply won't be able to make a "one size fits all" app for to make everybody happy. I could (and do on several occasions just for fun) hop in the F18 Hornet (or the F22 Raptor freeware from Top Mach Studio) and go "VFR Ground Hugging" at Mach 1 with my hair on fire. Through places like the Grand Canyon, the Swiss Alps (it's fun buzzing LOWI at 100 AGL and 700kts), or even the Mt Everest areas (the Lukla airport canyon area, etc). Obviously these would be VFR flights and could (would) have a constantly changing AGL value for the airplane. Which would send the AutoFPS app into spasms if I used unrealistic TLOD values for the hardware I was using. Heck, even over a flat desert terrain with no OLOD objects to display, at Mach 1 at 100 ft AGL the "terrain" being displayed can get "blurry" simply because the sim may not be able to keep up loading it in front of you fast enough anymore, regardless of the TLOD setting. So what does "really pushing the limits" mean in our cases? Would you be pushing them more than me? Or vice-versa? All I'm saying is that anybody could find a way to "break the app" if they tried hard enough. But that would not be a "negative" against what the app can really do for most people's flying experiences when used the way it was intended by @Reset. I honestly don't think @Reset intended his VFR mode to be "very low altitudes" at 365 knots (or Mach 1 either). If I'm wrong about that, I'll stand corrected. (PS - Testing positive for COVID sucks. And I can't tase my hot wings anymore for now 🥺)

Now THAT'S just BEYOND tyrannical. Somebody should spank you.

ROFL! Actually, a good beta tester WILL have a tyrannical approach to beta testing sometimes. It can be the things the developer never considered a user might try to do with the app that might be discovered then. So once in a while the beta tester may..."I'll bet ya the developer never thought anybody would try THIS! Let's see if it breaks the program!!!" 😆 Note: It's better to have a good relationship with the developer before you try that, though. 😀

ESET is most likely blocking it and downloading a "protected" copy of it. There should be a way in ESET settings or notifications to tell ESET to ignore its concerns and download it "as is". If not, just turn off ESET then use EDGE to download it (like Bob said). Then Edge will offer you to "download anyway" after EDGE warns you about the file. After you download the good copy then you can turn ESET back on again (but you'll probably STILL have to tell ESET to ignore it when you try to run it...set an Exclusion in ESET for it).

I thought it was Leo looking at you saying, "He set his TLOD to WHAT???" (No offense intended Cpt_Piett 😉 ) PS - The new full release version works like a charm. I'm sold on it and would buy you a cup of coffee if able. 👍

OK, my bad on the interpretation of it. A "Hazard of Written Communications".

You're welcome. I wouldn't be doing it unless I thought the app was worth it to begin with.

C'mon, G. Your first 2 items above are great feedback. The third one implies that anybody "reviewing and submitting" inputs about software documentation are just nit-pickers. We are "beta testers" just as much as somebody who tests and submits inputs about how the actual software "runs". I'm testing the documentation and submitting suggestions on how to improve it and make the overall product experience for the end user easier. It's no different and no less important than what anybody else has contributed about the app.
