  4. Same issue at HECA & KORD. I uninstalled MSFS 2020 and reinstalled it and I am still having the same issue. I submitted a bug report: Pink Airport Textures Since SU16 - Bug Reporting Hub / Install, Performance & Graphics - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums
  5. The charter market when it comes to aviation makes up about 5% of all air travel in North America. Business charters are the largest section of the charter market with just over 46% of all charter flights being for business with 97% of those flights coming from small and medium-sized businesses. For this tour, most of the flights will be with private and business jets as well as smaller turboprops. Charter flights are all about experience, so we have rolled out the best of the best when it comes to aircraft for this one except for the float legs. Charter Tour consists of 36 legs, ranging from just a few minutes of flight time to around 90 minutes. Pilots will fly between large business centers as well as short flights to vacation and weekend hotspots. Other flights will be from larger international airports to smaller off the grid locations.

  6. It would make sense to have independtent settings for each texture type, except for the DECAL which "normally" requires ForceNoAlpha to be set to False, but there always exceptions to the rule. 🙂
  7. I have been working on a couple different liveries and by modifying the XMLs, I am getting the desired results. I REALLY appreciate your help on this as well as all your hard work on this this tool. They certainly have not made it easy in MSFS 2024.
  8. This is great news! I tested this on a smaller aircraft livery that does not have many textures and it works perfectly! I have another question. Most of my Albedo textures do not require the alpha channel. Can I just put these in the COMP folder that has a ForceNoAlpha: True flag or do I need to run the script and the add the ForceNoAlpha: TRUE in the XML File?
  9. The Great Lakes are the largest group in a chain of deep freshwater lakes that lies along the southern boundary of the Canadian Shield. From west to east the Great Lakes comprise of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The Great Lakes have a total area of approximately 244,100 square kilometers and hold about 22,671 cubic kilometers of water and drop from 183 meters above sea level at Lake Superior to 74 meters at Lake Ontario. The Canadian Xpress Great Lakes Float Tour consists of 24 legs that must be flown in order. Starting in Lake Michigan, you will fly over 1,300 nm stopping at various cities along the Great Lakes.

  10. Absolutely! https://canadianxpress.ca/GetFile.aspx?File=KTX2Textures I am not a KTX2 expert, but if I use a MSFS 2020 DDS file as an examoke, I think this is what is happening with the MSFS 2024 SDK. The DDS texture in MSFS 2020 is saved as DTX1, No Alpha w/MipMaps. The KTX2 texture in MSFS 2024 is saved as DTX5, w/Alpha w/MipMaps which explains the increase in texture size. Regards,
  11. You will need the MSFS Layout Generator to create the required json files. GitHub - HughesMDflyer4/MSFSLayoutGenerator: A drag-and-drop application for updating layout.json files in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) packages.
  12. Looking for some assistance in regards to KTX2 texture sizes. I have converted my PNG files to KTX2 format using ImageToMSFSKTX2-main, but some of the textures sizes are double the size compared to the orginal house livery. For example... PMDG House Livery: 77F1_A.PNG.KTX2 43,692 KB 77F2_A.PNG.KTX2 43,692 KB 77F3_A.PNG.KTX2 43,692 KB 77GE_A.PNG.KTX2 43,692 KB 77TAIL_A.PNG.KTX2 43,692 KB My Livery: 77F1_A.PNG.KTX2 87,382 KB 77F2_A.PNG.KTX2 87,382 KB 77F3_A.PNG.KTX2 87,382 KB 77GE_A.PNG.KTX2 87,382 KB 77TAIL_A.PNG.KTX2 87,382 KB I have tried using NVIDIA Texture Tools Exporter 2024.1.1 to convert the textures, but I have no idea what settings I should use for each textures. With DDS textures, I could simply open the original texture file in Adobe Photoshop to be able to determine what the image should be saved as (DXT1, DXT5, Alpha, No Alpha, MipMaps, etc.) How can I determine what settings I should use when saving each KTX2 files so that they match what the original PMDG textures are? Thanks in advance,
  13. This month we make a stop at what is known as the Geographic Head of the Great Lakes. Located at the Head of Lake Superior is the city of Thunder Bay Ontario, Canada. It is the most populous municipality in Northwestern Ontario. European settlement in the region began in the late 17th century with a French fur trading outpost on the banks of the Kaministiquia River. It grew into an important transportation hub with its port forming an important link in the shipping of grain and other products from western Canada, through the Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence Seaway, to the east coast. In the era of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Thunder Bay began a period of extraordinary growth, based on improved access to markets via the transcontinental railway and development of the western wheat boom. The CPR double-tracked its Winnipeg-Thunder Bay line. The Canadian Northern Railway established facilities at Port Arthur. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway began construction of its facilities at the Fort William Mission in 1905, and the federal government began construction of the National Transcontinental Railway. Grain elevator construction boomed as the volume of grain shipped to Europe increased. Both cities incurred debt to grant bonuses to manufacturing industries. Thunder Bay was the first city in the world to enact daylight saving time, on July 1st, 1908. Canadian Xpress would like to invite all pilots to join us on Saturday, April 19th from 21h00edt (Sunday 01h00z) to 24h00edt (Sunday 04h00z) for our April 2025 fly-in where we depart from Winnipeg International (CYWG) and fly to Thunder Bay (CYQT).

  15. Canadian Xpress is celebrating 15 years of operations and as part of those celebrations we will be flying some of the routes of our 15-Year Anniversary Tour. Over the next several months, we will pick one leg from the Tour and turn it into the monthly Challenge event. You will still have to fly the leg once for the tour and again for the challenge if you want credit for both. This month, we fly Leg 42 of the Anniversary Tour and fly from Chambery to London City. Chambery is the largest city of the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The city is located at the foot of the French Alps between Bauges and Chartreuse mountains and is a railway and highway crossroads. It has been the historical capital of the Savoy region since the 13th century and was annexed and into France in 1860. London is the capital and largest city of both England and the United Kingdom. London stands on the River Thames in southeast England, at the head of a 50-mile (80 km) tidal estuary down to the North Sea and has been a major settlement for nearly 2,000 years. Your mission is to depart from Chambery (LFLB) and fly to London City (EGLC) with any Canadian Xpress freeware or payware aircraft that is rated for both airports.

  16. This month with spring just around the corner, we head west for one last run down the ski hill. Departing Calgary we head for the BC interior at Castlegar. Castlegar is a community in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia, Canada. In the Selkirk Mountains, at the confluence of the Kootenay and Columbia Rivers, it is a regional trade and transportation center, with a local economy based on forestry, mining and tourism. Castlegar is home to Selkirk College, a regional airport, a pulp mill, and several sawmills and 2 of the most popular powder skiing resorts in BC, Red Mountain and Whitewater. Castlegar Airport or West Kootenay Regional Airport is not a place where you jump into your favorite tube-liner and ride the ILS in for landing. Castlegar Airport is a small regional airport with limited ramp space, and a small 15,000 sq ft passenger terminal. Due to the mountainous terrain impinging on both runway approaches, there is no possibility of a straight-in approach. The airport is therefore certified for daytime operations only, and the glideslope on approach is set to a steep 5.0 degree rather than the standard 3.0 degrees. The instrument approaches to Castlegar are considered among the most challenging of any in use at a commercial airport in North America. In 2006, Castlegar airport was developing departure procedures for nighttime operation, but as of 2010 the airport was certified for daytime operation only, so for this flight you might want to look at time offsetting your flight SIM. A $1 million program installed six beacons on the hills of the Columbia Valley that allow night-time take-offs from the airport. It is expected that this will only be used by air ambulances and medical traffic. Canadian Xpress would like to invite all pilots to join us on Saturday, March 29th at 21h00edt (Sunday 01h00z) for our March 2025 fly-in where we depart from Calgary International (CYYC) and fly to West Kootenay Regional (CYCG).

  18. Halifax is the capital and most populous municipality of the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. Halifax is an economic center of Atlantic Canada, home to a concentration of government offices and private companies. Major employers include the Department of National Defense, Dalhousie University, the Halifax Shipyard, various levels of government, and the Port of Halifax. Resource industries found in rural areas of the municipality include agriculture, fishing, mining, forestry, and natural gas extraction. The first permanent European settlement in the region was on the Halifax Peninsula. The establishment of the Town of Halifax, named after the 2nd Earl of Halifax, in 1749 led to the colonial capital being transferred from Annapolis Royal. December 6, 1917, saw one of the great disasters in Canadian history, when the SS Mont-Blanc, a French cargo ship carrying munitions, collided with the Belgian Relief vessel SS Imo in "The Narrows" between upper Halifax Harbour and Bedford Basin. The resulting explosion, the Halifax Explosion, devastated the Richmond District in the North End of Halifax, killing approximately 2,000 people and injuring nearly 9,000 others. The blast was the largest artificial explosion before the development of nuclear weapons. Significant aid came from Boston, strengthening the bond between the two coastal cities.

Changing hands several times over the last 2000 years. Since the advent of mass tourism in the 1950s, the city has been transformed into a tourist destination and has attracted many workers from mainland Spain. This has contributed to a huge change in the city's traditions, its language, and its economic power. The boom in tourism has caused Palma to grow significantly. In 1960, Mallorca received 500,000 visitors, in 1997 it received more than 6,739,700. In 2001 more than 19,200,000 people passed through Son Sant Joan airport near Palma, with an additional 1.5 million coming by sea.

  20. We start the 2025 fly-in schedule with a trip to our nation’s capital. Starting in Quebec City, where explorer Samuel de Champlain founded a French settlement in 1608, and adopted the Algonquin name. Quebec City is one of the oldest European settlements in North America. The ramparts surrounding Old Quebec (Vieux-Quebec) are the only fortified city walls remaining in the Americas north of Mexico. This area was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 as the "Historic District of Old Quebec". Ottawa is the capital city of Canada. It’s located in the southeastern portion of the province of Ontario, at the confluence of the Ottawa River and the Rideau River. Founded in 1826 as Bytown, and incorporated as Ottawa in 1855, its original boundaries were expanded through numerous annexations and were ultimately replaced by a new city incorporation and amalgamation in 2001. Ottawa is the political center of Canada and the headquarters of the federal government. The city houses numerous foreign embassies, key buildings, organizations, and institutions of Canada's government; these include the Parliament of Canada, the Supreme Court, the residence of Canada's viceroy, and Office of the Prime Minister. The selection of Ottawa as the capital of Canada predates the Confederation of Canada. The choice was contentious and not straightforward, with the parliament of the United Province of Canada holding more than 200 votes over several decades to attempt to settle on a legislative solution to the location of the capital. Canadian Xpress would like to invite all pilots to join us on Saturday, January 25th at 21h00est (Sunday 02h00z) for our January 2025 fly-in where we depart from Jean Lesage International (CYQB) to Ottawa Macdonald Cartier International.

You will still have to fly the leg once for the tour and again for the challenge if you want credit for both. This month, we fly Leg 31 of the Anniversary Tour and fly from Paro to Lukla. Paro is a town, in the Paro Valley of Bhutan. It is an historic town with many sacred sites and historical buildings scattered throughout the area. It is also home to Paro International Airport, Bhutan's sole international airport. Paro International Airport is served by Drukair. Paro Airport has been described as "the most difficult commercial airport in the world". The airport has only one runway, airplanes on approach pass by the 18,000ft Himalayan Mountain peaks, and the 6,500 ft runway length presents a double challenge, due to the low air density. As a result, only a handful of airline pilots (8 as of December 2014) are certified to operate commercial airplanes there. About 30,000 people arrive at the airport each year. Lukla is a small town in the Khumbu Pasang Lhamu rural municipality of the Solukhumbu District in northeastern Nepal. Situated at 9,383 ft above sea level, it is a popular place for visitors to the Himalayas near Mount Everest to arrive. Although Lukla means "place with many goats and sheep", few are found in the area nowadays. Lukla village holds a small airport serving the region, and a variety of shops and lodges catering to tourists and trekkers, providing western-style meals and trail supplies. From Lukla, travelers need two days to reach the village of Namche Bazaar, an altitude-acclimatization stop for those continuing on. The airport has a 1,729 ft single asphalt runway, making it the shortest commercial runway in the world.

  22. Vancouver is a major city in Western Canada, located in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia. Vancouver has the highest population density in Canada, with over 5,700 inhabitants per square kilometer and the fourth highest in North America. Located on the Burrard Peninsula, Vancouver lies between Burrard Inlet to the north and the Fraser River to the south. The Strait of Georgia, to the west, is shielded from the Pacific Ocean by Vancouver Island. The city has an area of 115.18 km2, including both flat and hilly ground. Until the city's naming in 1885, "Vancouver" referred to Vancouver Island, and it remains a common misconception that the city is located on the island. The island and the city are both named after Royal Navy Captain George Vancouver (as is the city of Vancouver, Washington, in the United States). Vancouver has one of the largest urban parks in North America, Stanley Park, which covers 404.9 ha (1,001 acres). The North Shore Mountains dominate the cityscape, and on a clear day, scenic vistas include the snow-capped volcano Mount Baker in the state of Washington to the southeast, Vancouver Island across the Strait of Georgia to the west and southwest, and Bowen Island to the northwest. As of 2016, the Port of Vancouver is the fourth-largest port by tonnage in the Americas, the busiest and largest in Canada, and the most diversified port in North America. While forestry remains its largest industry, Vancouver is well known as an urban center surrounded by nature, making tourism its second-largest industry. Major film production studios in Vancouver and nearby Burnaby have turned Greater Vancouver and nearby areas into one of the largest film production centers in North America, earning it the nickname "Hollywood North".
