  1. Should I use the XBox app on my computer to uninstall or the normal Start > Settings > Apps and install from there? John
  2. I go back to the UserCfg.opt to see this: InstalledPackagesPath "C:\Users\jnava\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages" I don't have any more hair to pull out. I would really like to start getting keyboard settings and SPAD.neXt setup in MSFS2024 but I am starting to have doubts. John
  3. So I am testing my Community folder because I am seeing the Flysimware C414 here: D:\Program Files\MSFS2024\Community I go to test my theory kowing the Fenix patch was released. I look in the Community folder above and nothing. I look and find it here: C:\Users\jnava\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community. I see the Fenix in free flight mode. Something is amiss. I am tempted to uninstall and reinstall. John
  4. The other folders were there except the community folder (I have a screenshot). I tried this several times yesterday and it didn't work. Started the morning off at 6:00am trying it again. After trying this a couple of times and rebooting after each try, on the second attempt it started working. So I moved the Flysimware C414 to the new D:\Program Files\MSFS2024\Community folder using Addon Linker and I don't see the plane when trying to fly it. John
  5. I still cannot get this to work. I changed the UserCfg.opt file to show this: InstalledPackagesPath "D:\Program Files\MSFS2024" And I verify it in game. When I look at the directory D:\Program Files\MSFS2024 there is no community foler. I would have screenshots but this format is terrible for allowing them. John P.S. If screenshots would be helpful, I can move the screenshots to my other computer and then ftp them to my website and then put the links here.
  6. Quick question. When I look at your site where it says "Stock Up Now - Buy Any Continental or Regional Bundle, Get One FREE!", I am not able to select the continent that I want. I had planned to buy North America and get Europe. Am I only able to select the ones offered? John
  7. I should have explained myself a little more. I have Global Base and Vector. Also have several of the regional ORBX sceneries (NorCal, SoCal, PNW) John
  8. Excellent. I plan to download North America and mess with it tomorrow. I'm not home until then. :-( John
  9. I am in. Thanks for your help. I have ORBX Global. Will this enhance it or is it a replacement for it. John
  10. I used this URL: http://www.toposim.net/distrib/my-account/ It asked me 2+2= Maybe I got the answer wrong. :-) John
  11. I have tried creating a new login. I'm still waiting for my verification email. John
  12. How does this mesh compare to ORBX Global? John
  13. Thanks for the help. Good video but different enough that it only shows 1 fuel valve per side and the Carenado model as 2 per side. Thanks, John You are correct. That was the problem. The startup procedures provided by Carenado are limited at best. John
  14. Yes I just get frustrated and start it with the Taxi Mode. John
  15. Not in all the fuel injected airplanes that I have flown. The BE35 that I own had mixture rich for priming and starting procedures. Even using the full rich method it doesn't start. The engine turns about 10 seconds and dies. John
  16. I am reading through the checklist step by step and I cannot seem to get the engines started from cold and dark. For starters the startup procedures mention the following: Mixture control - IDLE CUTOFF. Fuel shutoff switch - OPEN Fuel boost pump switch - ON Fuel pressure - 20 to 26 psi With mixture set to idle cutoff there is no way that you will get fuel pressure. Even with the mixture control to Full I cannot get the engines to start without using the Ready to Taxi button. I really like the plane other than a couple of small things. The transponder not having "0" is another goofy one. I wish they would allow the Mindstar Aviation GNS530 to be used as well. John
  17. Sorry I am just now seeing this. The engine is fuel injected. I just did another flight at 7000' in similar conditions without a problem. More testing to come. It sounds like REP is coming out with a BE35 pack so I am looking forward to that. John
  18. Not assuming anything. I hadn't looked at these forums to see if it was compatible. John
  19. OK here is what I did. Removed all the disabled AEC airports and started Prepar3D and had the scenery database update. I then closed Prepar3D and then ran the configuration tool again. This time both L64 and KPSP moved to the disabled side without having to do it manually. Thanks, John
  20. Ed, Thanks for being patient with me wanting status updates. I was really anxious to get the update for v3 as I was a recent purchaser of the GNS530 and wanted to get it installed in my planes. I fly a Bonanza BE35 and have the 530 in the panel so I use the sim for maintaining proficiency. Will this work with the recently released v3.1? I won't update Prepar3D until I know that it will work. Thanks again, John
  21. That worked but it's really a crappy way for us users. Am I better off just moving all the airports listed into the disable side? I would have to visit every location on the left side to verify whether or not they appear correctly. Thanks, John
  22. Nevermind. The error was on my part. I was so excited to install the GNS530 that I didn't activate the product. Sorry, John
  23. I downloaded the installer v1.08.0010 and installed the product. I am not able to run on the unit. Any thoughts? John
  24. After purchasing SoCal I have hovering buildings, etc at L64 & KPSP. Probably everywhere but I didn't check. FTXORBXLIBS_151213 file was installed as well. Is there something I need to be aware of before isntalling SoCal? I also purchased Central and Norther Rockies as well. Waiting to get this sorted out prior to installing the other software. I have gotten no help on the ORBX forums since my original post on January 3, 2016. I have run the Vector config file. This screeny is sitting on the ramp with default Prepar3D KPSP. Thanks, John
