Make sure the sim is using the GTX and not the onboard iGPU. Also important to set the audio device to the correct one.

All I’d say is you should make up your own mind rather than opinions in a thread. If it truly isn’t your cup of tea or if space is an issue, fair enough. As far as depth and difficulty, it is intended to be a fun tie-in but the challenges (particularly the low level flights) take skill to actually hit the mission completion goal of scoring an “A”. And the 30 minute cross-continent Darkstar mission feels like a Chuck Yeager experience if you get into it.

Just tried the low level flight challenges - they work and are fun but sure aren’t easy to score high on the first few go arounds.

have you tried deleting and rebuilding your rolling cache?

Did you by chance install the latest Windows Update? Microsoft messed up the the setup and it uninstalls .NET 3.5 on some systems - run the Windows Features app and make sure .NET 3.5 is checked off.

Agreed it does - only things to note that this only works in DX11 mode, and that it may not work as well in VR (as noted in the video).

Love the atmospherics and your scores are always spot on...

Follow these in sequence (especially the things you wouldn't normally consider like synchronizing time settings): All versions - Crashing/CTDs issues Checklist – Microsoft Flight Simulator Support (zendesk.com) All versions - Crashing/CTDs issues - Basic Troubleshooting – Microsoft Flight Simulator Support (zendesk.com) All versions - Crashing/CTDs issues - Advanced Troubleshooting – Microsoft Flight Simulator Support (zendesk.com)

Definitely suggest you retest without AIG and mods.

Don't forget to finish the updates in Content Manager, clear any rolling cache, and check your graphics and assistance settings (as they may have been reset).

There is an issue identified by quite a few specifically around the Atlanta Area, Dillon: Trees still need to be optimized (Atlanta area is a mess) - Sim Update 9 BETA / General Discussion - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

Really hope they include a landing challenge with it 😆

Awesome that the AN225 is now planned as a Local Legend

Was actually thinking about that the other day - would make a great tool to teach geography, geology or meteorology in schools...

Well we absolutely appreciate every second of his hard work!
