Vfr only works with towered airports currently in batc. Uncontrolled airports will come in a future update.

I like Gsx and use it often. The thing I find funny is how the animated workers disconnect the baggage loaders, back away and park them, and then just sit on them there doing nothing. Same after hooking up the tug. Get back to work! Theres a plane arriving at the next gate over!

I loosened up the screws on the cooler a little and that seems to have done the trick, even though I didn't think they were that tight to begin with. I was able to put the new RAM back in and it seems to be working ok. I updated the BIOS as part of my earlier trouble shooting, so for now I'm just going to leave it be and not bother trying to get the XMP profile working, since I'd rather be flying than meessing with it for what's probably only a couple of frames or so. But thanks for the help!

Anyone know if they have unlocked the default planes now that the marketplace is live again? Just wondering if we can expect to start seeing some liveries soon for some of the Asobo planes?

Well it seems that I've completely stuffed things up. I re-seated the cooler with new thermal paste and that went fine. It ran fine for about a day, then I turned it on and got a blue screen error during boot (then is restarted and was ok). Today I went to try to test the sticks individually (in the a2 slot) and could not get it to boot at all. Switched it out for the other stick and same result. So I put the old RAM back in and still can't get it to boot at all. So at this point it defintely seems like I've done something to mess things up, and it feelsl like the issue probably isn't with the RAM, if it ever was...

It's a two stick kit. I tried turning on the XMP profile, but lowered the speed from 6400 to 5400 and raised the voltage from 1.40 to 1.41. I got a BSOD error instead of the non-stop booting cycle, which was better, but still not good. I thought I'd do another stability test since I haven't done one since I built the computer, so I downloaded OCCT. I've always had some hints of instability but have been able to mostly run MSFS ok, so I didn't want to spend too much free time trying to track it down. I did the standard one hour test which went fine, there were no errors, but noticed high temps on some of the cores (a couple of p cores had a max of 92 degrees). Unfortunately ever since the test I've been having weird things happen - for example - I left the computer alone with nothing running for a little while, and when I came back, the screen was all scrambled into trippy colors. I ordered some thermal paste, so I'm going to re-seat the cooler over the CPU - it sounds like sometimes the paste can go bad over time, and I wasn't 100% happy with how I seated it the first time. I'll also take that opportunity of having it apart to test each of the sticks separately.

Thanks for the advice. The XMP profile upped it to 1.40v but maybe I'll give it a small bump and see if that helps with the stability. If not I'll try testing one stick at a time and see if anything shows up with that. Thanks.

A couple of years ago I built my own PC, mainly to use for MSFS. I'm defintely not an expert, but I followed the tutorials on how to build a computer, got it together, and it has been working great. Plus it was a fun project. My build used a Asus STRIX Z690-F motherboard, 12900k processor, with Trident Z5 32GB DDR5-5600 CL36 Memory. No overclocking or anything, the only change I made in the bios was to enable the XMP profile for the RAM. I was recently travelling to a place where computer parts are much more affordable than where I live, so I thought I'd take advantage and upgrade to 64gb of memory as I moved over to MSFS2024. I found some Trident Z5 64GB DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory at a reasonable price, so I picked some up. Switchng out the RAM was super easy and the computer booted fine. The problems started when I tried to enable the XMP profile. It booted into windows fine, but as soon as I clicked on anything I got a BSOD We've encountered a problem and will restart error. I tried again and it happened again so I started loking for a fix. I updated the bios, but now instead of botting to desktop and getting a BSOD, it just went into a cycle where it would alternate between no signal, wake up for 20 seconds with a black screen, then back to no signal. It would go straight to this sycle, with no option to get into the bios at the start, so the only way I could get it to boot was to put the old memory back in. Aftre a whole bunch of googling, it sounded like my cpu couldn't handle the faster RAM, so I started lowering the RAM speed (starting with the original XMP) until the system would boot, and then until it no longer BSOD'ed when clicking on the desktop. It only stabilised when I got the speed down to 5400, which is lower than the original memory I switched out from. When I ran memtest86 it passed with no errors at this speed, but anything higher and it would show errors. I understand that the XMP profile can be somewhat aspirational, but I found many people on the forums with systems similar to mine that were able to run the XMP profiles or even faster without any problems. I'm actually not hugely fussed, I kind of doubt I'd even be able to notice any impact in MSFS if I got the RAM to run at its advertised speed, but if it's somehting I'm doing wrong with my setup or install I'd like to know so I can fix it and have it working properly. Any help would be appreciated! Drew

Hi All- Hoping I can get some quick advice- My original setup was a 500gb, 7200RPM SATA 32MB Cache HDD which ran the operating system and everything else (C: drive), and a 300GB VelociRaptor 10,000RPM SATA 16MB Cache HDD (F: drive) which was exclusively for the flight sim. I recently updated my flight sim hard drive to a SSD, so I cloned the 300GB flight sim F: drive to it. Everything is fine, but now I have an empty 300GB hard drive. I could fit everything from my current C; drive onto it if I wanted. What I'm wondering is if that would be worthwhile to move the operating system to the better drive or whether the performance difference is so small it wouldn't make a difference or wouldn't be worth the effort. The HDDs are also getting a bit old at this point too. Then there's the question of whether to do the Windows 10 upgrade during all of this. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts. Thanks! Drew

Oh. thanks. What I meant by mono-weather is that the entire area is given whatever weather is reported by the station you're closest to instead of having clear weather off to the right and cloudy off to the left or something like you get in the standard mode. Is that difference the reason you get flickering in standard but not DWC?

Hello-Is there a way to turn off SC or disable it somehow? I don't like using DWC because I don't like the constant changes and mono-weather but I can only use standard mode when flying low and slow because the frame rate hit from the SC flickering at airliner speeds is too much. Thanks.

Hi, thanks. I have to say it's a bit frustrating that I have to purchase another piece of software to do something I thought I was getting with ASE. I wish I had known that up front, but I'm glad there is at least some sort of a solution.

I've been struggling with this issue as well. Do I have it right that it's basically a choice between having the correct weather and/or assignment at the desitination (DWC off) or having smoothed winds and visibility (DWC on) on the way there?

Just wondering if there was a link or attachment with the first post that maybe disappeared? I don't seem to see the guide. Thanks.Drew Bingham
