Thank you @Holger0815. That kind of simple messages are the fuel of amateur dev's like me. Passing a time of discovering the technics (ok, it's an endless process and there's room for improvement everywhere), it requires a lot of motivation to keep the project alive during my spare time. Thanks to all that post support messages. Special shoot out to Jeremy U. for the static S-2T and Bronco + BullfrogSim for the tower object. And some of supporters providing local updates with pictures and videos. For Ramona, the Cal Fire new ramp is the trigger ;) It's very fresh and not yet fully finished https://www.hpwren.ucsd.edu/cameras/#mode=realTime&realTimeShowType=&cams=raab_raab-axis&iifi=raab_raab-axis If you have info, please share!

... And it's the first time I see this.

oh. That's really weird. No clue of what is doing this.

I didn't understand if you're with MSFS2020 or MSFS2024. I don't know what happened with this pink texture (multicolored?). "All black" is weird. The correct should look like this: If you're with MSFS2024, you need the "two" Ramona KRNM. The two associated folders. One is the core scenery for MSFS2020 and MSFS2024 (vbcorp-airport-krnm-ramona), the second one is specific to MSFS2024 (zzz-vbcorp-airport-krnm-ramona) and - for example - bring a new runway texture + remove useless and erroneous windsock.

MSFS2020? MSFS2024? In MSFS2020, search for "World Update" found 21 results: In 2024, World Update II is in my "My Library":

Thank you all for your messages! The F-16 object is part of the free Microsoft MSFS World Update II. I don't understand why you have the object but not the texture as the pink texture means you seems not having this World Update installed in your sim.

Although the number of plane visible couldn't be directly related to the number of subscribers. As far as I remember the Skynet multiplayer (as participant) is free.

I fly exclusively VFR, slow and low, in crowded US airspace, and I have to admit that my best experiences so far have been with Say Intentions. It is far from perfect, highly expensive, and packed with features I don't use, but the ambiance is excellent thanks to authentic ATC interactions, realistic chatter, and high-quality voices, plus AI-generated traffic operating nearby, even at small, non-towered airfields. PS: I'm also Beyond ATC customer and have various tested BGL like injected freeware solutions.

Pictures of the upcoming 1.4 updates are here: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/697436-preview-of-ramona-cal-fire-air-attack-air-force-base-v14/

Thanks @Tuskin38 , will check that soon. I may made the mistakes for years ;) I'm mostly use the Flow Pro app to change time when starting. I may need to change some of my flow ;)

Oh, really? So, freeware will open a total new world to you. It's a gift on PC compared to consoles platform. There're marvelous things as well as word not allowed productions that you just have to put on your Community folder. The most difficult now is to select. Be selective and avoid filling your Community folder with thousands of stuff conflicting each other, that will slow down you MSFS launch time, that you'll never use or rarely... etc... Your next best friend in MSFS Addons Linker. PS: I'm an amateur (passionate) developer. Search on Internet, several content creator have created their Top 10 Freeware.

Like all the freeware, unzip the 2 folders from the . Zip and put them in your Community folder. Will update the description when able.

The EFB (from the sim) displays METAR when available Unfortunately, it seems to display only the live METAR whatever sim time you set. On the previous pic: real time is 07h50z, EFB METAR displayed is 0651Z and sim time is 14:05z.

No problem with DLSS Swapper with this 1.7.34 Beta. v310.6 applied.

Thank you! The next update will be available as usual at https://flightsim.to/addon/25710/ramona-krnm

The next version of my freeware scenery will be a major milestone. Here're some WIP screenshots. Caution: it's only for General Aviation lovers. No gateways, no pizza box and restaurant inside the terminal ;) Some details on the landside but also improvements on the airside a.k.a the "pilot perspective". Because it's a flight sim after all, like removing an extra MSFS2024 windsock, reposition of the VASI on both taxiway ends, fix taxiway logic (to ease Ai traffic), fix small elevation issues, add an helipad and remove two others... There're two main categories of enhancement. First, the new Cal Fire ramp that has just been totally revamped : colored taxiway lines, tanks and tub for the fire retardant (Phos-Chek)... to accommodate the residency of the new Cal Fire C130 (and Sikorsky S76i) in addition of Bronco and S-2T Tanker. It exists for only very few weeks and it was hard - from France - to collect picture. Thanks again to the local John M. for the photos. The second type of update are "details". Since this scenery first released (4th January 2022) it's and endless game. This time, I was fed up of the standard taxiway sign object (no offense, they look great!) and now you have all taxiway sign customized: the proper shape, real two-sides and details (that only make me laugh). You will also get with the 1.4 : gate sign entrance, new taxiway patches, some new updates of the real field (like the new Cal Fire entry gate), new startup position spread all around the field... NB: the new version will still benefit from the fantastic Cal Fire aircraft (Bronco, S-2T) made by Jeremy U. creator of Hemet (KHMT). Thanks again to him! Welcome to the new taxiway sign object. Zoom on details... just for the fun. I'm not ready to make a huge airport! The CAL FIRE new ramp: New startup positions: The new gate entrance for the CAL FIRE Air Attack Base: The onsite museum has new signs (in the sim only): Views of the new fire retardant tanks (Phos Chek): Soon to be released!

Just out of curiosity, is it fun to press the Halo button? :)

Great news. Say Intentions is so expensive. Ok, it could vary depending on what you're looking for your sim. By default it's 24 hours, so any free extended period trial is welcome. I'm a customer (and early Beta tester) and didn't find better solution (I mean without the budget criteria) that enhance at this level my VFR (only) experience in US.

I'm still OFF with the sole objective to save VRAM and escape from the annoying popup warning windows. I'm using MSFS-AutoFPS. Didn't notice any fps or performance impact ON or OFF. As "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Time permit will try because I'm with the 610.47 If you don't want to watch 8 min video:

A new Beta for MSFS2024 has been released 15 hours ago : https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/update-now-available-on-all-platforms-sim-update-5-1-beta-1-7-32-0-release-notes-june-8-2026/767987/2 So you're in MSFS2024 1.7.27 and got updates ? Something weird on you setup. And If you have anything higher than 1.7.27 (last is 1.7.32), sorry to announce you that you're in Beta ;) If you're still on 1.7.27 and receive this morning a 2.2GB update, that's weird.

Six years ago, I started upgrading MSFS airports just because the default taxiway names were totally wrong. Today, I'm building my own custom taxiway sign objects! Here’s a preview from Ramona (KRNM) showing off the new rounded shape and accurate real-world font. Major improvements: Accurate custom shape for this specific airport Realistic black back panel (instead of yellow) True double-sided single object (no more overlapping models) The next Ramona update will also feature a revised Cal Fire ramp, thanks to new real-world photos from John M. Actually, some of my assumptions were wrong. Expect different things. Even better, Jeremy U. (developer of the outstanding Hemet KHMT) is donating his custom C-130 and S-70i static models to the project! Stay tuned.

Thanks for the initiative. Regarding Say Intentions (SI) that you mentionned, their injected Ai Traffic don't care at all of what scenery is installed in our MSFS. They rely exclusively on their own Taxi Tuner solution: https://www.sayintentions.ai/blog/sayintentionsai-dynamic-tooltips-added-taxituner-v4-released
