Petraeus

Translated from Swahili: After the latest updates, I arrive at my destination airport, and the planes are not visible there until my wheels have touched the runway. Neither with Ptonly selected, nor with PT only not selected. On the other hand, planes, when taxiing, disappear for half a second and reappear, hovering in the air and releasing their wheels. This has been happening a lot lately. I'm talking about airports like EGLL, LEMD, LFPO or EDDF.

And there's the answer. Many thanks. I was setting the 'Install path' for 2024, not 2020, and Inibuilds OMAA was not in my 2024 Community folder, only the 2020 one. A user interface suggestion - could there be two 'Install path' entries, suitably labelled? The manual is correct, but the 'ticked' = 2020 and 'unticked' =2024 is the sort of thing that catches out dummies like me!

It's a very recent scenery, and shows Terminal A visually. The Terminal A gates are all numbered 600 onwards. When I choose an MSFS parking location I can choose a gate in the 600 series. If I go to the GSX repositioning option, it also offers me a 600-onwards gate. Yet the park_airport.xml gate numbers, "parkpos id", are in ranges g0 onwards and r0 onwards, but no g600 etc., and bear no relationship to any of the gate numbers at any of the terminals. Is it somehow picking up gate numbers from the default airport, wherever that is in the system, because that would probably be the old layout pre-terminal A? I've been at that airport for a time now, and some aircraft are heading to Terminal A gates, but nothing is permanently parked there. But there's still a lot of aircraft at the old terminals, where they used to be 10 years ago! BTW, PSXT shows this scenery as 'stock'. Is that relevant?

Apparently the new Terminal A at Abu Dhabi airport has been open over a year, yet PSXT is parking all the traffic at the old former terminals. Any possible reason? The Inibuilds version, not that that should have any bearing.

The config file is for GSX Pro. I've just got it (Flew in and out of there many times as an expat). I noticed that there are taxi lights marking the lead-in to the threshold of Runway 15L, which cross half the runway of course. An obvious error.

For reference, this is what it would actually have looked like in Russian. 🙂 Вы имеете в виду все настольные симуляторы, даже серии X. Но Fenix по-прежнему мой фаворит среди Airbus.

Currently showing for me (in UK): Items out of stock MCDU £999999.00

When I change to an earlier time via the menu bar at the top, either clicking '-' or dragging the time marker with the mouse, the 'hours' 'days' ''minutes' still show nothing.

I'd prefer one of the products that just uses a USB connection.

Ah, OK, but I gave up on reading their marketing material several eons ago.

It'll take you into space, but you'll need to wait for the later release of the re-entry module.

No, I'm not.

With 64Gb Ram, Fenix at same airports as in 2020, load times are good, FPS is similar, then suddenly tanks to single figures. Can be caused by clicking on second monitor. Sometimes restored by clicking on first monitor, sometimes not. Switching out of and back to TAA can sometimes restore performance. End result is not worth flying Fenix in 2024, especially in VR. On the other hand, flying the balloon or Joby in VR is great fun and performance equivalent to 2020.

Using 2024 and really enjoying the weather and visuals. However VR performance not good, so back to 2D for flights with Fenix, which has its advantages (crisper ground scenery for example). Using PSXT and Say Intentions which work fine. VR really enjoyable with the Joby. Addons Linker and SPAD.neXt helped make the switch relatively simple. I still have 2020, don't see the point of uninstalling, it's not costing me anything, and may occasionally go back to it if there are compatibility issues with other planes.

Are we all supposed to know what CDN stands for? Or is it another example of the 'elect' using obscure and unexplained jargon to demonstrate their aloofness from the 'non-elect'. (By which I mean corporate Big Simulation, not MarkG!)
