Does anyone know how the discount might work for Marketplace purchasers of V1? As far as I know, there’s nothing that lists previous purchases, other than what is available to download in user profile. Of course, it will probably take three months for V2 to show up there anyway.

I had an update this evening that appears to have changed out the jetways on the north side to ones without a SWA logo. This is good, but now the jetways that do still have the SWA logo have an issue. When the jetway moves to connect to the airplane, the logo doesn’t move with it. It winds up inside the jetway. Is it just me? Maybe it was always that way and I just didn’t notice.

I’m probably going to pick up the BMWorld version since it looks pretty good, and waaay better than default. I will use it as a stopgap until Flightbeam’s version is released...assuming it will be much better. I figure I’ll get my moneys worth out of it until then since since it could be awhile. It’s an important airport and I just can’t fly into the default one. I’ve replaced airports I’ve purchased with better ones before!

I have it as well, and agree…there’s something funky with the terminal glass. It looks like there is no glass at all in areas. I also noticed it lacking details like hand rails on stairs etc. Better than default, but definitely not upper tier. Hopefully it will get updates.

Looking at the model list, Airbus models seem very well represented with most variations of each, but Boeing models, not so much. Only three 737 models, one 777, and no 757 or 767. Since I fly in locations where many Boeing models are used, I think I’ll wait until more are added.

My MSFS session was freezing up but not crashing, though I could still hear the sound, ever since the latest beta update. Once I went into Task Manager to close it, it would unfreeze. I couldn't figure out what triggered it, but then discovered that it happened whenever I opened a new Microsoft Edge tab. I usually use Google Chrome, but Edge defaults when I open a .pdf for viewing, so I just leave the window up during my flights. As soon as I open a new tab, boom...it freezes. As soon as I enter Task Manager, it unfreezes. I updated Edge, but I can repeat it every time. Can anyone else confirm if this happens to them? This is on Windows 11...I had no problems prior to the latest update and no problems with Chrome.

I’ve definitely noticed improved cloud depiction. Last night, for the first time in a long time, I noticed higher altitude stratus clouds in lieu of the random cumulus blobs of the past few months. This matched the METAR and what a saw out the window very well!

Very cool mod, but does anyone know how to get rid of the default ships placed around certain scenery areas? I don’t think they are AI but just static scenery objects…many around San Francisco for example. They look out of place compared to the new ship traffic.

Oh sorry, by customer I mean airline. So if there were 8 different liveries for one airline/aircraft type (1 standard and 7 special), the program will select any of them equally? It seems I would need to remove the special liveries if I don’t want them to be displayed at an unrealistic frequency. Is that the best way?

Thanks for the replies. It seemed to work when I added “opf” ASA to the QXE lines in the dbase.xml file. And was mentioned, it must ignore the “X” used in AIG (ASAX) and associates the correct livery. The only other issue I have is that special one-off liveries seem to be used instead of the standard livery for many customers. Does PSXT just distribute all liveries that exist in the texture folder equally for each customer? Is there anyway to only use standard liveries without a lot of manual editing?

Hello, I have what is hopefully a simple question. I haven’t spent a lot of time with PSXT yet, but one thing I noticed is that PSXT identified a missing livery for airline “QXE” which is Horizon. AIG includes the livery but it is identified as “ASAX” since the livery is Alaska but operated by Horizon. I assume that is why PSXT can’t find it. What is the best way to link these two?

Where it should be clear, I seem to get evenly spaced little puff balls as far as the eye can see…is this the default “clear” skies with live weather now? So it can’t do overcast or completely clear skies? I really wish they’d revert back to the original weather system.

It would be best to just disable this frozen water effect until they figure out a way to limit it to appropriate areas. Or at least give us an option to toggle it off. I’d rather see small bodies of water that occasionally freeze shown unfrozen than to see large bodies of water and rivers that would never freeze be shown as solid ice. It’s a bit of an immersion breaker.

Hello…Is there a way to turn off the frozen water effect in MSFS? It looks ridiculous to have rivers and large bodies of water turn to ice anywhere there is snow. For example, the Seattle area is currently experiencing a cold snap, and while it was cool to see the snow coverage in the sim, the Puget Sound and Lake Washington were completely frozen over! This is common in Alaska too, where most of the coastal cities are now surrounded by ice in the sim. Though the effect looks great in the appropriate areas, I’d rather just deal with unfrozen alpine lakes if it can be turned off. I thought it was mentioned in one of the development series that ice extents were going to be shown based on real-world data, like for arctic ice etc. I don’t remember it just being everywhere there is snow, unless something changed or I misunderstood.

I like the idea of using METAR data for temp, wind, and pressure at airports, and the predictive data to generate the clouds and weather systems.

How one of the best features of the sim could be stripped out and replaced with something of FSX quality is really mind boggling. I hope that the bugs get fixed soon at least, but better yet would be to just revert back to the old system.

I was hoping my first few flights were an anomaly, but unfortunately, it’s just been worse with each subsequent one. Like others, I don’t get why the sim has to match a METAR report exactly. From what I’ve seen, the sim isn’t representing the reports accurately anyway. Has anyone experienced a true overcast layer yet? I feel like I’m back to FSX default weather. REX already existed for those wanting METAR-based weather, but it seems most people that have that program, weren’t using it because MSFS weather depiction was superior. Why did that need to be ruined? if there is a great plan to use a METAR system that will eventually incorporate other technologies for something even better than what we had, I’m all for that. Maybe it could have been implemented as an experimental option for now though, instead of basically eliminating what I thought was one of the best features of the sim.

Yep, I know it’s a work in progress and have faith, but still hard to go backwards for however long it’ll take to get it “smoothed out”. I thought I heard Jorg mention some exciting new possibilities technologically as far as weather goes. So fingers crossed.

I absolutely loved the previous weather depiction, and lately, it seemed to be fairly accurate to real world conditions…close enough for me at least. I’ve only taken a couple of test flights since SU7, but the weather just didn’t look right to me (though I didn’t notice abrupt transitions). I didn’t get the overcast layer as the METAR indicated, just a lot of big towering clouds with gaps between them. The old system would show overcast layers/storm fronts very well. I personally think having the system generate realistic weather formations based on forecast models is better than weather generated on the fly from METARs…hopefully they will continue to work on how the information is translated to the sim.

Well I was looking forward to checking out the new weather…I wish MS would figure out their server issues, they seem to be down more than they should be.

I came to post the same thing. Seattle area METAR shows overcast and rain, but weather in sim is clear.

Okay thanks for the info, yes that helps. I would have been disappointed to get the EMT and still have the same issues. I'll just have to work around it I suppose...I wish they'd update UT2 or make a UT3 :smile:

Hello, I was able to get UT2 to install to P3D 2.5, but by using the registry edit method and not the EMT tool. It does work (after a couple of error messages pop up), and I do have traffic. I can also access most functions of the interface except for the aircraft repaint management. I get an error accessing that function, and while it's nice to at least have the traffic, I would like to be able to update the repaints as I did in FSX. Could someone please let me know if the UT2 interface is fully functional when using the EMT tool? I may try going that route if it works. Thanks, Keith

Hi, I discovered a couple of quirks with my limited use of the DX10 preview in Acceleration. I don't know if it's just my setup or if others have the same problem.First, I've noticed missing buildings/bridges at nightime when in DX10 mode. Maybe others can see if they have the same issue. The Lake Washington bridges east of Seattle are there during the day, but gone at night. Also, I noticed the large hangar west of rwy 13R at KBFI is missing at night. What gives? With DX9, the buildings/bridges are there both day and night. I haven't ventured much beyond this area, so I don't know how widespread it is. I know it's nighttime, so they can't be seen very easily anyway, but still.Also, graphically, all my perimeter fences are a solid gray with DX10, I haven't heard of anyone else mentioning this.I am using the nvidea 8800 GTX, if that makes a difference.Thanks,Kevin

Previews had mentioned that there would be ship traffic moving from port to port across the oceans. Has anyone seen this in the released version? In the beta it seemed that ships were just static scenery objects.Not that important, but it was something I thought would be kinda cool.Keith
