Thanks for your advice fella ! Full of wisdom.

QW787 : Real world B787 : As for TCAS the real B787 has actually a TEST button.

OK, let's assume it is so about TCAS (I doubt it). The same happens for the WXR too ? (I strongly doubt it too).

If you mean this (screenshot), it doesn't do the test. All serious addons have got TCAS test button. What about WX radar test ? Probably missing too...

Thanks for your response. Do you start flying without testing TCAS and WX radar ? As I didn't find any such switch, I am now asking other QW users.

Hi, As I did not find anything relevant in user's manual : Is there a way to make TCAS & WXR TEST in QW787 ? Thanks, Sotiris

Thanks Ian

I have good news for myself. I ticked EA, the stars are back, unticked EA and stars are still in place ! This is an example of "welcome to computers' world".... By the way, there is no preferences.cfg file in : AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5. As I see, the job was done. Many thanks once more !

First of all, many thanks for your help Ray. Following the conversation we had, I see two options for myself : 1. Use EA (which I don't want) to see the stars during night flights, or, 2. Revert to v5.4, in which it appears that the issue had been fixed at the time of v5.4 release. Many thanks again, Sotiris. P.S. Where does preferences.cfg reside ?

I don't really think it's an OS related issue. A setting option maybe ?

Running win10 Pro 22H2 build 19045.6466, not wi11.

I installed AutostarX, replaced stars.dat, but did not do anything better. Something else should be the culprit.

I found that stars.dat file and it is where it meant to be, but no luck. I reinstalled the client, but this changed nothing. I looked for that file in .cab files, but they are coded to unknown filetype. Do you think I should reinstall content and scenery too ?

Hi Ray, Thanks for your response. Tonight I realised that there are no stars in the night sky. Two-three months ago I rolled back from P3Dv5.4 to V5.3HF2 as you suggested the latter to be more stable with less stutters. I installed v5.3 client, content and scenery. It is the first time to notice that stars have disappeared. Any ideas how to bring stars back to the night sky ?

I am now evaluating the possibility to upgrade to win11 from win10 and I 'm making a research about possible compatibility issues for some sim tools I currently use. These are : ADE 1.79, AI Flow & AI Ground, AIFP3, AI-aircraft Editor, AITA2014, STBv5 (P3D), and SceneryConfigEditor v1.1.9. Any issues reported with win11 ? Thanks, Sotiris
