All good - many thanks for the reassurance! :)

Just a thought ... my last update occurred when AutoFPS started automatically on MSFS launch. I've always understood that it's not a great idea to enable/disable addons with MSFS running. I have the widget symlinked by Addons Linker. a) Does updating the widget whilst active in MSFS cause any issues? b) Does it [even] update to the new version if the existing/old version is in use (files being locked etc.)? I've not experienced any problems, but just wondering ;)

We're going for a World Record!! Seriously though ... I'm not sure what your problem is. Tremendous feedback from the developer of one of the best MSFS tools out there - with loads of helpful submissions from the users. What more would you want?

Fantastic stuff! I just wish your expertise could be mirrored by the Asobo devs: the whole top menu toolbar thing is a GUI disaster.

I'm wondering if this may be something that could be achieved with FSUIPC. It can do some pretty clever stuff (but don't ask me how!). I Googled "open close any window with FSUIPC" ... You can open and close specific in-simulator user interface windows or panels in flight simulators using FSUIPC by assigning a button or key press to the PANEL ID SET control with a specific window/panel ID parameter, or by utilizing a FSUIPC Mouse Macro or Lua script. [1, 2, 3] Also - I've seen some addons being integrated with the EFB - which is always available via the TAB key. That might be a more elegant solution, but might be hard to code <??>.

Excellent - many thanks! UPDATE: RC3 installed with no problems. Also: I never had the font size cutoff thing, but just to say my window remains perfect with RC3 :)

Is there any way (when in-Sim or in the app) to see the current version of the widget - or if it needs updating?

Pleased to report RC2 works well on my system! The widget indicator works as advertised. Wow - this addon has come a long way :)

https://flightsim.to/addon/115328/taxi-cam-msfs-2024-pfd-taxi-cameras Nice idea, but very buggy (read the comments above). I won't even dare test it at this stage.

I occasionally get problems with Flowpro - either starting incorrectly (logo always visible @ top right) or not working at all. Usually, this is because I'm messing about with freeware mods. The fix (for me) is to simply re-run the FlowPro installer. Only takes seconds. Check you have the latest version while you're at it.

Thanks for the info :) ... is it working OK for you? Many people are reporting frequent CTDs and/or having to go through the whole tweak process all over again.

Cleaned up ... and installed Test8 from the Github page. The widget was active (via Linker) ... result ... PERFECT!!!!

Very interesting ... but I'd like to have clear instructions on how to remove all the tweaks cleanly in case it doesn't work.

Wow - we've sure added a layer of complexity! Yes - I follow what you're saying ... makes sense. I just had a repeat of the scenario with Test7, so repeated what I did with Test6. I wonder whether the widget should be made into a separate installer (that can only be run when MSFS is not running) <?>. BTW: For Test7, I had the widget enabled in Linker (symlink in Community) and the Test7 installer wiped the existing symlink, then created the new files in Community (which I then had to move). Maybe the contents of the symlinked folder should be cleared, rather than deleting the whole folder <?>. Hope this helps.

I have a couple of things to report on my update to 0.5.40-test6 from the previous (test) version: 1) The update tried to execute when AutoFPS fired up during MSFS startup (as per usual), then failed with some kind of error message - but I do remember it mentioning I should not have had MSFS running. So I tried re-running AutoFPS with MSFS closed: it fired up, but would not update. So I went to the Github page and downloaded test6 and updated manually. That worked fine :) 2) I generally try to keep my Community folder as clean as I can, so I move the widget to my utilities folder and link to it using Addons Linker. The AutoFPS installer seems not to follow the symlink that the Linker creates - and doesn't update the widget in its external location. I just delete the old widget files (and the symlink) and reinstall via the downloaded EXE. I'll see what happens with the next experimental test/update and make a note of what happens. Many thanks!

Is this for all turboprop aircraft? I suspect it's a binding issue for the condition lever - check your keyboard/controller setup to see if there are any problems (or conflicts).

The widget works fine on my system (and looks great), but it hasn't quite the functionality of the main app - or am I missing something? I suppose it's handy to see the info on the main sim screen, but I find ALT-TAB'ing to the app itself just as quick/easy. Either way, it's still an absolute must have for my sim sessions - many thanks! EDIT: Does the widget get updated along with the regular (beta/exp) updates - or does it have to be done separately?

Thanks also for the heads-up. Good to see some competition ... great as it is, I was beginning to get tired of the excessive monetisation on "that other" site.

Thanks for the info :) I had that disabled as well. Things seem to have sorted themselves out now (after a repair/reinstall). All works fine (with IFD Instruments enabled, but A2A Refuelling disabled). Yay!

I would do a [relatively] straightforward reinstall of MSFS. Google the procedure - it's not too complicated. All your profiles etc. will be on the Cloud, so you shouldn't lose any settings. Worth a try IMHO ...

Sadly it plays havoc with AutoFPS (on my system at least). It appears to mess with LOD settings <???>. Also - I can't resize its window - some of it gets cropped off at the bottom.

Hopefully that confirms my suspicions. Yes - I'm still learning the A/P!

Thanks for pointing me at Marketplace addons. I'd already checked/disabled what I could - but I took another look and I think I've found the culprit: IFD INSTRUMENTS (Working Title/Flight FX). I'm not sure how or when it was installed (or even which aircraft it relates to). I'll keep testing - but I hope this may help other affected simmers.

Thanks ... I do ... but it's disabled (as it's for MSFS 2020).

Ever since its release, I've been struggling with the Combi variants for the 707: specifically the UNS-1Lw and also occasionally INS. As soon as I select them in the aircraft selection menu, I get a freeze then a CTD. This is with MSFS 2024/SU6, MS Store version. I've tried every trick in the book: 1) Disabling all addons. 2) Reinstalling the 707. 3) Downloading (as opposed to streaming). 4) Clearing cache(s). I'm out of ideas. Shame, as it's a tremendous aircraft to fly (when it does!).
