Thanks for the replies. I now have hope.

Just wondering if the likes of PMDG, Fenix or Flightsim Labs realize just how much money there is to be made by producing a long haul airliner for MSFS2020. Something like a B777, B 787, A330, A350 or A380. We simmers are crying out for it!!! I know Captain Sim have done a B777 but lets not go there. Steve Shallcross.

Which program can be used to open a *.opt file?

Thanks for the replies guys. That makes 3 folders I have. Just wondering which one I should point to when entering the folder location for Data in the settings.

Hello All, As a relative newcomer to MSFS2020, I hope this is not a stupid question. I installed MSFS2020 on a different drive to Windows 10 and as a result I think I have inadvertently created two package folders with add on installations in both. I have one at C:\Users\Stephen\AppData\Local\Packages and one at F:\MSFS2020Packages\Community. Is this a problem? Regards, Stephen Shallcross.

Yes

Hello All, For some reason, several of my airports now have no runway markings and in some cases the runway is shiny and reflective even though conditions are dry. Furthermore taxiways look more like dirt tracks. Any thoughts? Regards, Stephen Shallcross.

Thank you. I didn't see it!

Hello All, I hope this is not a stupid question but is there any way to have the external view without the instruments being displayed? Regards, Stephen Shallcross.

Thanks guys!

Hello All, Apologies if this is a stupid question. After many years enjoying P3D and FSX before that, I have finally started exploring MSFS2020. Is there a way to pan around the cockpit, and around the aircraft when in external view, using the hat switch on the CH products yoke? Regards, Stephen Shallcross.

Thank you. Restarting works.

Hello Everyone, When downloading and installing the massive update, I get several files then it just keeps downloading the same file over and over again without progressing to the next file. has anyone else experienced this? Regards, Stephen Shallcross.

Thanks for the replies. Yes I do have HIGHMEMFIX = 1.

Hello, I am currently still using a GTX 680 with 2GB of video ram. At times I have objects only partially drawing such as when looking at my plane at the gate I only see wings and wheels. Would upgrading to a card such as a GTX 970 with 4GB of DDR5 RAM improve this problem and/or improve frame rates? I have my i7 3770 overclocked to 4.0 GHz so don't think I can make much gain with a new mobo and CPU. I should have mentioned this is in FSX.
