Kodiak 100 Wheels for MSFS2024 Install Error
Confirmed as long file name bug on SWS Discord - recommended fix for the moment is to install into a temporary folder and then move to Community folder. New installer in progress but will take a while

Thank you - will contact the creator

DropTop_Views-AxisAndOhsScripts.xml
A number of stream deck profiles on Flightsim.to refer to this file - but I can't identify which zip file contains it on your AAO downloads page ?

MSFS 24 SU2 released
Looks like they have conceded defeat on making OBS work on the G1000 - the button is greyed out now.

Driver 576.02
Working fine for me - except - nVidia overlay is not showing FPS or GPU usage - and the shortcut keys no longer work

Free Dragon
Good STOL characteristics - bit light on instruments and a word not allowed uncomfortable pilot seat

Mandatory 8.7 GB Update, MSFS 2024 won't even startup.
The damage is done even before you try and run 2024 - it is the update in MS Store that triggers the changes - Steam users seem to be OK I reset my community folder back to where it should be through the My Library settings option - most of the main settings seem to have been preserved except rolling cache. No more Beta for me - this kind of mistake is unforgiveable.

Nvidia App, no optimize since latest FS 24' beta update ?
If you did a clean install it will take a while for the app to detect FS2024 and download the necessary data. I just reinstalled yesterday and all the FS2024 optimize options appear, but I agree with bobcat999 - use it as a guide only.

Little Navmap 3.0.13.beta1 for MSFS 2024 released
TonyD replied to albar965's topic in Little Navmap | Little Navconnect | Little Logbook Support ForumBTW: You can switch between the beta and the stable version without messing up your settings. Thank you for stating that - Was reluctant to try it as the stable version works perfectly for me.

Where is Community Folder in 2024
For your controls I can recommend going to flighstim to and downloading FS2020 Control it will allow you to export a list of you MSFS 2020 controls to Excel or pdf as a reference guide.

Where is Community Folder in 2024
For a shortcut you need to go into the XBox app - select MSFS 2024 then find thge 3 dots at the top left of the screen - click and select Manage This will open a screen that allows you to create a desktop shortcut - from the desktop icon you can then create a taskbar icon Getting to the Community Folder screen is a bit of a fiddle First click on the Green FS Marketplace icon - then click on My library - then look for the small cog next to the Search box That will show you the location of your current Community folder and probably change the location if you want to (not tried it yet but have heard it works) Hope this helps

NVIDIA AND GEFORCE ISSUES WITH MS2024
Not yet but I can still use the nVidia Contril Panl if I need to change anything as it is included when you install the new app

NVIDIA AND GEFORCE ISSUES WITH MS2024
I had a problem with the nVidia app not allowing me to optimize MSFS2020 settings - in the end I left the page open and after an hour or so it changed. I am guessing it is just very slow to donwload the necessary data Not working for MSFS2024 yet

MSFS - Missing Heliports
Thank you - that would explain it
-
MSFS - Missing Heliports
I think Asobo must have changed something in airport DB coding as the following Heliports are not being picked up by LNM even though they still exist in the sim. (They also deleted a number of fictional POI idents) ident name 4CA1 US Bank Tower Helipad EGLT The Needles Lighthouse Helipad KWHH White House Helipad LIBH Lingotto Building Helipad NK80 Rainbow Air Incorporated Heliport OBAR Burj Al Arab VVBF Bitexco Financial Tower Helipad WMMT Menara Telekom Tower Helipad

MSFS at it again.
Time & Date Sync fixed it for me as well - still seems a bit slow though

Windows 10 Anniversary edition Hiccup
There are a number of ways to update to the Anniversary Edition Option 1 - update and keep existing files and applications - this worked fine and I had no issues Option 2 - update with a fresh install - oops! This effectively wipes the registry whilst keeping a few important values It also removes the 'RegisteredOwner' key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows NT/CurrentVersion This effectively broke some of the current simMarket installers. Manually creating a 'RegisteredOwner' key solved the problem. Many thanks to their support team for pointing me in the right direction. Hope there are not too many other surprises lurking in this new update

Flight 1 ATR FSX SE
@Skyseek The development team for the Flight1 ATR have long gone their separate ways, and the aircraft will not be updated. It was first released nearly 14 years ago for FS9, and then 'patched' to work with FSX. A number of issues have never been fixed...the FMS will often crash when selecting Page2 of VNAV, the cockpit windows become opaque in the rain unless you replace the fsx rain textures. The sound issues are actually a symptom of a much deeper problem...the gauge.dll seems to have a memory problem - which hangs FSX when you try to exit. I have spend 'years' trying to find a solution, but have now come to accept that at the end of most ATR flights I will have to restart FSX. It is still the most accurate representation of the ATR 500 series available today, so in my opinion it is worth the pain. (The X-Plane and virtualcol versions can be described as 'Lite' at best)

What options and settings do you want in DTG Flight Simulator? (Official Discussion)
Martin, not going to be much help because I am now down to only 3 tweaks WideViewAspect=True (set once and forget) DisablePreload=1 (set once and forget) [GRAPHICS] TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=1024/2048/4096 I tweak this value depending on scenery/aircraft combination - and I use Aerosoft's free texture launcher tool as it is quicker than opening the config, changing the value and then saving again. Perhaps a simpler 'aircraft systems' vs 'scenery quality' slider or switch might be useful. Flying a fully loaded pmdg heavy into Aerosoft/uk2000 Heathrow is very different from bush flying around the mountains in a Beaver. Given your new simulator is both 64bit and DX11 compatible, I believe you probably have a lot more leeway than is currently available in this respect.

What options and settings do you want in DTG Flight Simulator? (Official Discussion)
I have been tweaking MSFXxx in all its various forms since 1998. It has taught me a lot about computers..but I would rather be flying. I think you can safely divide the tweaks into 2 categories a. Correcting or amending settings that could not be changed in the GUI (e.g. WideViewAspect=True in FSX) b. Trying to optimize performance for the specific computer hardware being used. The "must read" guides are often misguides...example Bjote's tweaks are no longer relevant to current hardware. Keep it simple...provide a clear interface and try and deter people from messing up their .cfg files. It will avoid thousands of ill informed forum posts. Maybe provide an "Advanced" tab in the GUI where you can place whatever tweaks the community most requests..along with a caveat that YMMV.

Your thoughts about FS Global mesh for P3D, yay or nay?
+1 Free Mesh X Free Mesh comes in at 46GB for the entire planet ....it uses the most current data....and is still being updated. FS Global 2010 and Ultimate are no longer being updated as far as I know.

Where are the MD11 and 747 at PMDG store?
I kicked myself for not getting the MD-11 before it was withdrawn. I ended buying it as the Aerosoft boxed version on Amazon, for less than I would I have paid to pmdg. Its still the best MD-11 available.

FLIGHT1 ATR 72: COMPATIBLE WITH FSX SE?
The Flight 1 ATR is still (12 years after initial release) the best ATR simulation available for FSX or FSX:SE I will dead and buried long before Razbam ever get theirs released...and the Virtualcol version is best described as "lite". The development team have long since gone their seperate ways and it will not be updated. It has a few bugs and will occasionally crash, usually as a result of the FMC having a bad day. It is not compatible with P3D.

P3D V3.3 incompatible Sceneries
Gary Summons has already responded and is going to update his airports - but it is going to take a while. Read this post for more info....in short he is happy that LM are doing away with legacy code even if it is going to cause some headaches in the meantime http://www.uk2000scenery.org/forum/index.php?topic=8548.0
