Thanks, Bob, I wasn't aware of this option at all. Kind regards, Michael

For me, AIG planes (the complete set installed) make a huge difference for me. I am down to ~1'30" when I deactivate them using Addons Linker, but FS2024 loads 4-5 min or so having them active. Unfortunately, I need them for PSXT to run, so I have to live with that. Kind regards, Michael

Thanks, Brian, found it. That's indeed a questionable place. Kind regards, Michael

Where can I find this "Mark forums read" feature at all? I don't see it on the Unread Content page. Thanks for help and kind regards, Michael

Thanks, Kaiii3, just deleted it. It was only one 1.5 MB file, thus will not have affected loading time anyway. Kind regards, Michael

Thanks for all your feedback, guys. I understand what I see is sort of normal. All my flightsim files live on a WD 4TB m.2 NVMe SSD so this shouldn't be the bottleneck. I just wanted to make sure it's not only me and I can live with the few minutes (yes, it's perhaps 3-4) and will stay with the AIG models. I'm not inclined to reduce the number of liveries just for a gain of perhaps 30 s. Kind regards, Michael

Hi, aig-aitraffic-effects aig-aitraffic-effects_CVT_ aig-aitraffic-modelbehavior aig-aitraffic-oci Maybe you only installed a subset of the AIG models? I didn't measure, but @AnkH's number seems pretty close to mine. Kind regards, Michael

Hi, I have been using PSXT/RT for ages, mostly together with the AIG models. It works all fine, but the FS2024 loading times kept growing and are not several minutes (at the ~85% bar). Deactivating addons using the Addons Linker doesn't help. I found the culprit to be the 4 AIG folders always active as I always use them (for PSXT). These amount to fat 80 GBs (my main memory is 32 GB). After shifting them out of /Community, FS2024 starts quickly within less than a minute. This raises a few questions: (i) Am I the only one with this issue? I didn't find anything related on the AIG forum. (ii) Should I switch to other models (FSTL?). Although I keep reading the AIG models are the best ones. (iii) Any other suggestions to proceed? Thanks for any help and kind regards, Michael

It has been reported Golden gate bridge is broken (su 5) - Bug Reporting Hub / Scenery and Airports - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums Kind regards, Michael

I am sure they did a couple of months ago, actually there were several add-on packages available. Seemingly all these were discontinued now. Kind regards, Michael

The Crystal Light could be ordered with prescription lenses (which i would need, too) but this offer seems to have gone now, if I didn't overlook it. Kind regards, Michael

I am also on the fence of buying a new headset (still on the Reverb G1). The Quest seems to be a good offer, but why does nobody mention Pimax' offers? Basically, they provide (within the named price tag) the Crystal Light and the Dream Air SE, should it ever materialize. According to what I read, the Crystal Light is optically/electrically fine, but even more clumsy than my G1. The Dream Air SE will be even better, and (with < 140 grams) certainly not be clumsy - but no one knows if it ever will be available for shipment. For those in the know: How do the Quest 3 and the Crystal Light compare? Kind regards, Michael

Hi, I didn't receive mail notifications on topics I subscribed to since July 2024. I tried several measures, including changing mail address, was even in contact with @Bob Scott who told me at a point about a software/configuration change, but nothing did help. I was not banned, I could mail, and I received notifications from other fora like the MSFS official fora and ORBX, just not AVSIM. I finally lost interest in AVSIM and - for some more reasons - in flight simulation in general. Now, out of a sudden, I keep getting mail notifications again starting January 25. This message is to i) Inform those responsible that the measure they obviously took, has been successful, ii) Thank them cordially for working on this, iii) Telling those interested I might even start posting on AVSIM again, iv) Will make a donation towards AVSIM as an acknowledgement. Kind regards, Michael

Thank you. This doesn't guarantee anything (obvisouly) but is the best we could achieve at this point. Kind regards, Michael

At least one of the Community Managers could acknowledge having digested this and informed the devs. Only Speed1994 as a Forum Manager provided a positive feedback, but (I think) forum managers as volunteers don't have direct contacts to the devs. Kind regards, Michael

I can't beat the dynamics.😉 Best, Michael

51 votes now after mine. Impressive for the short run. Kind regards, Michael

That may be because I gave a link to the German page above. You can reset Language clicking the douple bars in the upper left, there is an entry "Change Language". Kind regards, Michael

I ggogled and that's what I came up with: https://de.flightsim.to/file/36003/airport-finder Kind regards, Michael

This is my feeling, too. The best they could do would referring to a detailed announcement to be made at next week's FSEXPO. Which would of course presuppose, they are willing to give one there. Kind regards, Michael

Thank you so much. That's certainly a great one. Kind regards, Michael

Here the same, I have been starting PL with windows for many years and never had an issue when launching MSFS. I can imagine the difference are specific PL settings. Kind regards, Michael

Just read on the Steam forum any Anteworld user will get a free Steam key. Quite a kind gesture. https://steamcommunity.com/app/575020/discussions/0/3485249571290219964/ Kind regards, Michael

It was the Flight Sim Association. Not a member yet? Kind regards, Michael

Could you help me? I wanted to add another thumbs icon to your contribution but this function is deactivated for me (stop sign). I can add icons on other channels, so it must be something special with the FSLTL channel. Any setting to change or to apply for some activation? Thanks and kind regards, Michael Solved. I needed a phone confirmation for just hitting that button. Is it really necessary to make life a pain for people 70+?
