  1. I tried the Pilotplus version and found the runway level too low beneath the apron. I tried the Sofly version too and found that the airport buildings were not the correct colour. I bought UK2000 version back in 2020 but Gary no longer supports this. Hopefully, he will update this in the near future. For me Gary's version is still the best overal, though the airport has changed quite a bit since he created it.
  2. The update made no difference to performance in my sim. However, you can adjust settings when you start FSLSL by clicking Y instead of N if you want to adjust the number of aircraft the application will render to improve performance. Personally, I'm fairly happy with the defaults.
  3. Error code 0x800711c7 (ERROR_SYSTEM_INTEGRITY_POLICY_VIOLATION) typically happens when Windows Smart App Control (or Device Guard / an App Control policy) blocks a game, app, or system update because it flags the file or anti-cheat system as untrusted. How to Fix Error 0x800711c7 (Games) If a game fails to launch with this error, you can temporarily disable Smart App Control in your Windows settings: Open Windows Settings (press Win + I). Go to Privacy & security > Windows Security. Click on App & browser control. Under Smart App Control, click on Smart App Control settings. Switch Smart App Control to Off. (Note: If it is permanently greyed out on your system, it means it cannot be re-enabled without a Windows reset). Launch your game again. If playing via Steam or another launcher, verify your game files if needed. How to Fix Error 0x800711c7 (Windows Update Issues) If you are encountering this error during a Windows system upgrade or update: Open Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters. Run the Windows Update troubleshooter. Open an administrative Command Prompt or PowerShell and reset the Windows Update components, or run system file repairs using sfc/scannow and DISM commands.
  4. I still use EGGD Bristol, though it really is now in need of an update as the airport roads and carparks have changed a lot. The Pilotplus versions and Sofly versions aer a lot more up to date but have so many inaccuracies that I reverted back to the UK2000 version some time ago. I hope Gary decides to give EGGD a little bit of love as it really needs it now.
  5. In MSFS2024 earlier, I typed YSWS into departure airports and got nothing. I also typed Western Sydney and got nothing. Is it not even represented in the sim or is it just because it is too new? I've tried searching under its previous names and Gemini gave me the following info: "Western Sydney Airport was previously referred to as Sydney West Airport in the Airports Act 1996 (Cth) and was also commonly known by its project location, Badgerys Creek Airport. On March 4, 2019, the federal government officially named the facility Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport in honor of Australian aviation pioneer Nancy-Bird Walton" I think there maybe freeware and payware addons I could try, but it seems a bit odd that I can't locate it in the base sim.
  6. A couple of small fixes you may like to install for World Update 23: Flightsim.toAir Rhodessa's Warsaw Redacted Photogrammetry Fix — Ficti...✓ For Microsoft Flight Simulator: This add-on replaces the blurred or redacted photogrammetry areas in Warsaw, Poland with a fictional woodlands and open clearings.

It providSometimes the little fixes can make all the difference. Air Rhodessa seems very open to these fixes if you spot any more that are needed.
  7. I would always try the repair option before uninstalling - that has solved problems for me 2 or 3 times and doesn't result in a loss of any addons. In this case though a full uninstall and reinstall is probably needed, but I never discount trying a repair before going for the nuclear option as it takes only a couple of minutes and can't really do any harm.
  8. There seems to be a number of squares around Warsaw where the photogrammetry appears to have been flattened. Some of them are due to the DD landmarks but having removed it, I still notice a few are present. Could these be military sensitive areas, perhaps? I think I might delete my rolling cache and see if these reappear.
  9. Someone said on the official site that the new PG is so good, you don't actually need the DD addon any more.
  10. If you want to create symlinks to add an item from another drive to your community folder, this shell extension does the job perfectly https://download.cnet.com/link-shell-extension-64-bit/3000-2248_4-75213087.html Step-by-Step Instructions Install the Tool: Download the matching 32-bit or 64-bit installer from the Link Shell Extension Site. Run the installer and let it restart explorer.exe if prompted. Pick the Source File or Folder: Open File Explorer and navigate to the original file or folder. Right-click the item (on Windows 11, click Show more options first). Select Pick Link Source from the context menu. Drop as a Link: Navigate to the destination folder where you want the link to appear. Right-click in an empty space (click Show more options on Windows 11). Hover over Drop As. Select the type of link you need: Hard Link / Hardlink Clone: Duplicates a file/folder view on the same NTFS drive without taking up extra space. Symbolic Link: A versatile shortcut for files or folders that can point across different drives. Junction: A directory-specific link used commonly to redirect folders (like large games or software data) to another drive Hope someone finds it useful. It's something I think I might use quite a bit as I have scenery folders all over thee place and not much space left on my msfs drive and it's very simple to use.
  11. Haha - I missed that. My sim seems smooth though so I may be inclined to leave it,particularly as I am using DLAA - do the newest dlss files have any impact on that anyway?
  12. My understanding was that msfs2024 compiled shaders during the launch phase of the sim and not during a flight, so if I understand correctly, that would not have any effect on smoothnes and stuttering in game. I would like to be proved wrong in this respect though.
  13. Since SU7, I think the visual clarity has improved a little, though that could also be down to the new Nvidia driver (certainly buildings look smoother and cleaner). To me smoothness and performance feels a litle bit off though. Some have also sugested LOD has been decreased a little as well, though I'm not sure abut that.
  14. Have been burned by Windows betas and MSFS betas before and now try to leave them well alone.
  15. I have a number of Samscene3D products and they are all very good and in my opinion good value for money. However the detail does give you a bit of a performance hit, especially when the city is quite close to the airport you are using. Their US modern cities are very good though the New York Times v2 has me running out of VRAM, even with a 16 GB video card.
  16. https://glideslope.pro/product/kmia-miami-international-airport-msfs-2024/
  17. I think the Glideslopepro version is really good. So good, I'm not sure whether it's worth going for the new MK one even though I know MK stuff is really good too.
  18. You can enable both the dlss preset and framegen preset in the Nvidia App. I'm using K and B repectively having tried L & M for DLSS and C for framegen and not preferring them. Edit - Slight correction - you need the latest beta version of tne Nvidia app.
  19. I tried framegen preset C and did notice some loss of visial quality and a few artifacts, so went back to preset B. For some the tradeoff may be worthwhile though.
  20. So long as we don't see a performance degradation, I won't be too unhappy. I still think the sim ran better on SU5 than SU6 personally as I had to turn down a few settings to make SU6 run as smoothly.
  21. Today, September 13th they say - I'm assuming around 1600 UTC unless we hear anything beforehand.
  22. Just fired up msfs2024 and it gives a message saying the gamemode_name will be unavailable due to maintenance scheduled for (maintanence day) at (time maintenance) (local time). You can check your notification panel at any time to see the maintenance schedule. Never got a messsage like this before - what's it all about? Edit -Aha, I see - it's to do with career mode, so not an issue for me as I don't use it, I guess.
  23. word not allowed it, I only installed the last one about an hour ago to run optiscaler. At least this one might have something related to msfs
  24. Just installed optishade 0.21.6 and got an immediate CTD, I guess I now have to try to undo it. Edit - a PC restart seems to have resolved. Now to check how it runs Edit 2 - I dont see anything different in msfs after installing optiscaler and dlss5 files Do I need to do something else(I see something about presets but I don't have any or know how to create them)?
  25. Just wondering how much succes users are having with this. Is performance still an issue? Does it really look that much better? What are your experiences? I've watched a number of Youtube videos and am not yet fully convinced. I'm also concened that some who have tried using dlss5 have had issues reverting back and completely messd up their msfs installations. At the moment, I'm waiting for ASOBO to impliment it properly, but I fear that may be a long wait.
