You can install the latest version (now 0.9.5) via the Experimental Branch. This will always contain the latest version while the stable branch will only be updated after reaching important milestones. How To Update Open Aerosoft One Install the version you would like to use

I'm trying to find the information, but there is an experimental branch on Aerosoft One where you can get the latest releases. The 0.9.2 release is the stable baseline. Their plan is to upgrade the stable baseline as the feature set matures. If I can find the information on hwo to access the experimental branch I'll edit here or re-post.

These new updates to the AIG models, AIM and AIGTC updates sound fantastic, especially the new visual effects! I'm super excited to see the new models and effects. Much thanks to AIG!

Thanks Kai! I'm very happy to hear AIG is on this issue even if it is a lower priority. It's long overdue to see better GA traffic in the sim.

The link to that map is wonderful! Haven't seen this before but it's well done! Thanks Ed!

Which SWA livery was causing the performance issue? I have several SWA liveries for the PMDG738 (and the PMDG737). I'll be on the lookout for issues if I know what livery to be aware of. Thanks!

I purchased Reg Designs PHLI (Lihue, Kauai) and I am very pleased. They did a great job with the airport and surroundings. For those virtual pilots who fly around the Hawaiian Islands, I also highly recommend Northern Sky Studios. They started out creating some of the smaller airports (Kapalua and Hana airports on Maui) and a couple of airports on the island of Molokai. They recently branched out into a much bigger project, creating Maui's primary airport Kahului International Airport. They did a fantastic job there as well. What I really enjoy with their airport sceneries is that they model not only the exterior of terminals but also the interiors in extreme detail. And they are also easy on the pocketbook! I also purchased a couple of their Alaska airport sceneries too! I couldn't be happier with their work.

I've also seen this bug during night flights prior to SU6. The beacon at my departure airport stays visible several miles out but the beacon at my arrival airport doesn't become visible until I'm 1 or 2 miles away. I haven't tried since the SU6 update.

Same here. In the distance I only see the blue lights (no posts). As I get closer, the blue light disappears and I see just a yellow post. A few feet away from a taxi light I see a yellow post with an angular blue cap (no blue light). Once I'm a couple of feet away, it looks like a very realistic taxi light with yellow post, rounded blue lens cap, but no light. On the plus side, when looking out the side windows inside the cockpit or in external camera viewing the aircraft from the side, the significant stutters I used to see are gone. Just wish I could get BOTH realistic taxi lights AND stutter-free graphics (I know I'm asking a lot! 🙂)

On your keyboard, hitting control key plus numbers 0-9 while in the cockpit will provide some default camera views for the overhead, FMS that you mentioned. I also have the following Camera.cfg that I defined. Just copy the following into a text file and place it at the following path for the Microsoft Store version (I'm not certain how the path varies for a Steam version😞 C:\Users\<PCUserAccount>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft_CRJ_550\CAMERA.CFG C:\Users\<PCUserAccount>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft_CRJ_700\CAMERA.CFG You can select the views in the Camera.cfg by selecting ALT key plus numbers 0-9 (ALT-1, ALT-2, etc.) Here's the CAMERA.CFG: [VERSION] major=1 minor=0 [CAMERADEFINITION.0] Title="1" Guid="{C2D64114-E122-4729-A124-C3C3E820D1EF}" UITitle="1"

I'm a private pilot who flies VFR out of a small regional airport. Usually ATC gives me instructions like "Mooney 5FT, taxi via Charlie to runway one seven, cross runway one one, contact tower on one two six point zero". But the SU4 updated ATC says "Mooney 5FT, taxi to runway one seven via taxiway Charlie, cross runway one one Charlie, contact tower on one two six decimal zero" It's close but not quite what I'm used to hearing. I guess I still need to modify the en-US.locPak to get it closer to what I'm used to hearing. As far as the updates on the IFR side, I don't do enough IFR flying to comment on any improvements.

At 61 I'm very happy to see there are a LOT of us "well seasoned" virtual pilots, and real life pilots on these forums!

Thanks for this information! My son and I tried a multiplayer flight on Monday and my son had a stutter-fest with me flying a C-172 with a non-default livery. Tried again on Tuesday with my son flying a non-default livery and I experienced the stutter-fest. We finally figured out it was the non-default livery causing the problem. Happy to know it wasn't just us! Thanks!

I purchased the Bredok3d B737MAX and found the sound files too hushed - almost sounded like a vacuum cleaner. I saw a note in the docs for the 737MAX that you could replace the sound files with something else. So, I purchased the TSS Boeing 737 CFM56-7B26 Pilot Edition from Simmarket which is designed for P3D. After extracting the sound files, I simply copied them all into the sound folder ( MSFS\Community\aircraft-bredok3d-boeing737\SimObjects\Airplanes\Boeing737\sound ) and "wham-o" - instant sound upgrade!! I left all the existing files, Asobo_B747_8i.PC.PCK, and sound.xml in place. I would think transferring sound files from an existing P3D aircraft should work. But that's something I haven't tried yet.

Used to see the beacons way too far away. Now it might be appearing too close to the airport. However, I kind of prefer they appear too close up than miles away. Finding airports at night are challenging sometimes when lost in the glow of surrounding city lights. It takes the challenge away when you see the beacons from miles away. Now if Asobo can do something similar for the runway approach lighting. 🙂
