I'm using full screen all the time and got a truncated menu nonetheless - at least in this example. At the moment the only possibility seems to be using the external tool as it allows accessing all user settings being listed in "userCfg.opt". Like the configuration file it handles RAW-data that you have to translate yourself to in-game-values like "ultra" = 3 or "medium" = 0.

Could you or somebody else give me a hint how I can influence the mentioned GUI restrictions? I have a quite powerful gear but still running a "simple" HD monitor. Could this be the reason? However, most initial settings of MSFS2024 had been ULTRA or HIGH. When setting up GENERAL -> GRAPHICS, unfolding then GLOBAL RENDERING QUALITY, the last visible item is PARKED AIRCRAFT QUANTITY and some space below. I saw the screenshot of a friend who has 4 items more AIRCRAFT TRAFFIC VARIETY, ROAD TRAFFIC, SEA TRAFFIC, and FAUNA. Hints are very much appreciated. EDIT: I just found and tried a tool enabling to set up all settings outside MSFS 2024. It's called "FS2024 - UserCfg Editor". The items are accessible, nonetheless they are not available directly in the sim menu.

This would at least remove one hurdle on a long way towards a usable MSFS2024.

I totally agree. After the latest update my hope that the ground handling would be better was soon blown in the wind. It's impossible making slow and narrow turns. The front wheel flutters like being completely unguided even if pedals and yoke are both at full deflection. I've even flattened the initial brake forces dramatically, but the aircraft stops even with the slightest brake axis movement. While taking off and landing it now feels much better compared to former times, but ground handling is a real show stopper.

I can only agree to the last statement of Tom as far as wake turbulences are concerned. I'd opened a Ticket at HiFiSim and got really good support. They produced and offered some Beta versions, got feedback and for me the problem is solved now. However, the recommendation to set the wake influence back to 20% is what I'm doing as well, even after running the updated version. The other weather settings are okay for me. The problem of always generated thunderstorms is solved, but they still appear where I would expect them. ASN is now a great and usable product.

How did you install the new NGX version? Did you just install it over the previous one or did you first remove the forerunner version? For me the "repair" did not work, I had remove the existent version first. There was no error message nor any sign that anything went wrong - with just one exception, the weather radar didn't work.

That's my experience, too. That's why I'm not sure on which side of the interface the best could be done.

Devin, your last hint can be helpful for sure. I've lost sight of this function and I'm afraid I have to search for it...

Meanwhile HiFi got a ticket. Interesting, it seems to be time to find out specific differences in the setup or environment. In order to start with something: I'm flying online just by using a FsHost Client-Server configuration and none of the usual online networks like VATSIM or IVAO. I'm using UT with 100% traffic which is still active when flying with my friends (we're not too many). However I'll make some tests now with locally induced traffic only and I'll look far a busy airport, too (I think London Heathrow is okay). Let's see what happens.

Devin, I'm wondering a bit about your statement and if you would read some comments here it seems that I'm not the only one being afflicted with this behaviour. However, there are several entries in HiFi's support forum and you would find me amongst them. By the way, when flying online with a couple of friends I can hear (and sometimes watch) others sharing this experience, too. As I have to leave now, I'm going to submit a ticket later today (I'm already registered)

Unfortunately all expectations that one of both interfacing companies would solve the overwhelming wake effect for the NGX failed. I have the latest Beta of ASN installed and forget to check the turbulence settings after the update (of course, they where set to default) and made a flight today with my brand new WX radar equipped NGX. The result had been a crash with likely no survivors (a A320 landed about 4 mins in front of me). What do we have now, a weather program requiring aircraft specific settings? A ridiculous idea I suppose. It seems to be something that should be resolved between HiFi and PMDG. At the moment the bird's behaviour is not controllable as long as the related effects are set within ASN to anything > 0. EDIT: If the fault is clearly on ASN's side I surely would expect a little bit of pressure on them from PMDG, probably together with Aerosoft (their Bus seems to have similar problems).

Actually you can get any relevant European chart here for free (http://www.ead.eurocontrol.int/publicuser/public/pu/login.jsp). You just have to register, that's it.

I agree! I've had to know this stuff while studying electrical engineering and I never had to recapitulate it again. Of course I forgot almost everything - non, je ne regrette rien.

Well explained Brian. I was about to pick up the water analogy again and then luckily decided to read the thread to it's preliminary (?) end. At the beginning I was asking myself if we would end up with Maxwell's equations. :huh:

Mark, What happens if you use <ctrl>+<space> after loading the overhead panel view? This should reset any view to its defaults.
