I have seen this issue, too, after installing SU10. I tried turning off NanoVG (in the Experimental menu) and the arcs returned. This setting is not retained after reloading the sim, however, defaulting to ON every time (apparently settings in the Experimental menu are not saved after exiting the sim).

The Saitek autopilot (older version - firmware 320 according to Lorby...) seems to work for me, so far on two flights anyway. I use Lorby Axis and Ohs to drive it in case that makes any difference. Rick

Marketplace issues (Failed downloads)
RickY replied to wthomas33065's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I have seen recent failed downloads like this from the Marketplace, too. At one point, my download speed dropped to about one tenth of normal and the download succeeded, albeit slowly. I reduced the QoS maximum speed settings in my D-Link router, essentially throttling the overall download speed from 50 to 40 Mbps, and a download completed with no failures. There seemed to be something in the Simulator and its Marketplace that couldn't keep up to the download speed, or perhaps my computer was not able to provide a handshake fast enough, in my case anyway. It might still be worthwhile to check on things locally because I haven't seen other reports of this so far. Rick -
how to keep fsx in full windowed mode?
RickY replied to briansommers's topic in MS FSX | FSX-SE Forum
Try dragging the edges of the small window to resize it to the equivalent of its maximized size rather than maximizing it. That may result in FSX saving the size in the FSX.cfg file. Rick -
After a cumulative update from Microsoft (I forced a check for updates), my Saitek devices and my dual monitor setup seem better behaved. I wonder if the throttle quadrant issue (I did not have this problem) will also be alleviated? Rick

Everyone else really successful with FSX in Win 10?
RickY replied to fppilot's topic in WIN10 OS Forum
Thanks. I will try it. Rick -

Here: http://fsgs.com/ I'm having some panels response issues after 10-15 minutes, though, but the joystick does NOT disconnect. Still some USB issues to sort out, I guess. Edit: Loss of response may be a SPAD.neXt issue -- same flight was fine with SPAD driver. -
You can try this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2900614 My Multipanel display returned when I completed some Registry edits. My radios were always working. All panels occasionally fail to respond after 10-15 minutes, however, using SPAD.neXt, although the joystick seems fine. Everything is connected through a powered hub. I may try moving connections around among available USB ports. Rick

This has been stated in a lot of places but I'm not sure it is true. There is a setting that supposedly turns off automatic device driver updates, in my Win 10 Pro anyway -- right-click the start button and select System/Advanced System Settings/Hardware tab/Device Installation Settings. I guess only time will tell how effective this setting is. Rick

RickY replied to fppilot's topic in WIN10 OS Forum
Most but not all of the entries I saw had the EnhancedPowerManagement entries and those were the only ones I edited. I did not touch any that did not already have this entry. The Twitter post from Saitek does not specify which products they are looking at. I use SPAD or SPAD.neXt drivers for panels. Rick -

RickY replied to fppilot's topic in WIN10 OS Forum
I experienced no display on the Saitek Multipanel after upgrading and I found a "fix" from Microsoft that applied to Windows 8.1 -- I recall having the problem in Win 8.1 too. Anyway, after editing the Registry for all HID input devices and rebooting, my Multipanel display returned as it did in Win 8.1. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/424250-saitek-multipanel-display-not-working-with-windows-81/ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2900614 -
Thanks for posting the link to your test files, Bad_T. I tried them and the area is indeed nicely flattened so perhaps this might help the OP, too. I do see what appears to be some odd mesh or ground textures showing in some spots but I'm guessing this is as good as it can be without the originator's terrain installed. Mine is default FSX. Thanks, again. Rick

Bryan, I would be interested in hearing how you make out with ADE and elevation adjustment. I installed and experimented with this after I saw your first post but I had limited success after a first attempt to change the altitude of the entire airport. I could still see a lot of sunken areas and buildings and I thought perhaps it was the original scenery design that was intended for Ultimate Terrain that was causing the issue with default mesh. If you are successful, I would like to try your changed .BGL files. Thanks. Regards, Rick
