In my case it was my virus protection that was blocking it. Roy

Thanks Bob. Works like a charm.

For about a week or so when I hit "Quit to Desktop" it closes the window, but the sim is still running in the background. When I go to XBox to open it, it says it is already running, but no sim is displayed. The only way I can close it by using the Task Manager. Anyone else having this, and how can I fix it. Roy

They did it to make the sim playable for XBox. This YouTube video explains how the new LOD works. MSFS 2024 SDK Tutorial - The "new" LOD Selection system, by Federico Pinotti. Need a button to switch settings for PC or XBox.

An easier way that I use to practice landings is to enter the airport where you want to land in the Arrival space. Don't put anything in the Departure space. Then press Start Flight. It will set you up in line with the runway and far enough out so you can make the landing. The beauty of this is that you can go to different airports and not just one you have saved in the other method. Roy

I've got the 2024 version and I really like it for my low and slow flying. The only bug I've noticed is that the magneto switch works backwards. Also, I'd like to know where I would go to download any updates to fix the things that have been reported. Thanks, Roy

Great idea for my flying. I'm a low and slow scenery GA flyer. I always start on the runway so I don't have to go through all that startup procedure. But then I miss seeing the terminal and surrounding scenery and being able to taxi out to the runway. So now I can begin my flight in the terminal area with it running and I don't want to use CTL-E.

A little off topic but I have the Cessna 182Q and the key switch seems to be working backwards. You turn it right to make it go left, and vice versus.

Just checked out the Augusta National Golf Club, site of today's Masters Tournament. The fairways and greens which are usually pristine have waist high weeds in the sim. I suspect all golf courses are this way. I know my local one is.

Just wondering if a touchscreen monitor can be used in MSFS 2024 to press the buttons and flip the switches in the cockpit of the plane. Would be more realistic than using the mouse.

Where can I get it? Couldn't find it in Marketplace.

Got it. Thanks

Yes. I got an update and that is what prompted this post. Lost everything in my Community Folder. Loaded the new Fexix update in the Community Folder and started it from the runway and it immediately crashed to the desktop. So I want out of this nonsense. Don't remember where I got it because at the time I was trying everything. Thanks for your help. Roy

Back when I had crashes everyday for a couple of weeks, I was trying everything to get it to work. So I tried the Beta thinking that that might be the problem, which it wasn't. Now, I don't know if I'm still on it or not. My version says 1.4.7.0 which means nothing to me. How can I tell if I have it and if I do, how do I get rid of it? Roy

I had the same problem with 2024 for a couple of weeks. Installed and reinstalled about five times. Still happened. Turned out it was the sl.pcl.dll file. Deleted it and it loaded fine. Happened again after the latest update. Deleted the .dll file and it worked fine again. Anyone that has it in 2024 it's in C:\XBox/MSFS2024/Content folder. Roy
