Cheers Bert! Much appreciated. 🙂

Very cool! Hey Bert, what LIDAR data are/were you using for the Vancouver region is MSFS 2020? I *LOVE* flying in that area of Canada as it's absolutely gorgeous.

The streaming of almost everything really irks me. There's a reason why many of us own very fast M.2 drives and aren't really bothered by having to download update packages every now and then as well as world updates. I'm fairly certain this was done for Xbox users to save space, however I wish there was an option to do a permanent install like 2020 is, hopefully Asobo/Microsoft offers that option as I would imagine hundreds of thousands of users downloading the exact same files every time they fly will end up costing Asobo/Microsoft quite a bit of money in server bandwidth. I'm just grateful I decided to give this new sim a "grace period" until after Christmas; let Asobo & Microsoft iron out the major bugs for several months.

Take me back to the days of the big wide body jets like the L1011 and the roaring sounds of the Boeing 707 & DC-9. Aircraft that burned so much fuel that air pollution wasn't even a consideration, where the black smoke billowing out of your engines on takeoff meant they were working right. Aircraft that I have to fly, not program for 30 minutes like we're making a trip to the Sea of Tranquility on the moon. Big heavy wide bodies that behave like an ex-wife does when you're late bringing back the kids from a fishing trip late at night; pure dread, white knuckle time... Hours of absolute boredom interrupted by seconds of sheer terror as you look over at your 24 year old co-pilot with a look on his face like he just messed his shorts.

Gents, all of your suggestions make perfect sense. If I had the time to try and find out which aircraft, airport, scenery, etc file was causing the issue I'd do it, but quite honestly there's so many of them it's enough to drive a man to drink again. I started using that scenery linker program and began moving all the scenery files in my community folder into separate categorized folders onto the different drives, so far this application works absolutely fantastic. I had no idea it has a built-in map showing you all your scenery files on a map and allows you to create categories based on regions and other aspects. For example, I just finished creating a category called "Commercial Tube Liners" where only large major international airports are linked for when I'm flying mostly at FL300 to FL400. However some files always have to be in the community folder and it's best to just leave them there. IE: Navigraph plugins, TDS GTNXI 750, scenery library files, etc. But these are nothing in size and number when compared to the massive volume and size of many large airport products. For example, FlyTampa's Las Vegas City and KLAS McCarran package is almost 6GB's on it's own... Appreciate all the help guys, hope you all have a half decent Sunday.

Good evening gentlemen wherever you may be as well as any Ladies. For context I'll give you an example of how I arrived with having so many payware and freeware addons in my community folder. I completely quit drinking about eight years ago, since then I've used the weekly savings in money I now have to purchase games, addons, etc. Here in Canada, where I live, booze is heavily taxed so on average I would spend about a hundred and fifty dollars worth every week either at home or at the local pub. You get the picture. Since building a new machine back in May of 2022 I've purchased roughly that same amount every week on MSFS scenery, aircraft, utilities, etc; developers LOVE me. This new habit has amassed a huge community library with thousands of symbolic links across four 2TB NVMe drives. Some would think the load time when simply starting MSFS with this many addons in the community folder would be excruciatingly long and painful, however it's not that bad, roughly and a half minutes. Fast forward to about a month ago and I started having crashes for the first time, however these crashes are repeatable like clockwork. With this many addons I can now only create and fly three different times when upon the fourth time of hitting escape, selecting a different plane and/or departure airport then selecting Fly the sim will crash 1/3 of the way through loading the flight. As I said before this can be recreated like clockwork. So far I have solved this by simply running only all of my OrbX Central and Aerosoft libraries at one time; all of which I own 90% of the products offered by these services. Sorry for the long babble and annoying time it took to get to the point. Have any of you ladies and/or gentlemen come across this issue or anything similar to it? Do any of you think this is being caused by a specific addon(s) or simply just running far too many of them at the same time? So far I'm simply adding back my payware only mods to see at what point the crashes start again. I am fully aware of the fantastic application MSFS Addons Linker and I've used it in the past, however I guess I'm a sucker for not wanting any limitations of where I feel like flying if I don't have X,Y and Z addons loaded. Would love to hear any comments, opinions, solutions and/or recommendations. I'm currently running an Intel 13900K, 64GB DDR5-8000, GTX 4090. Hope all of you have a fantastic weekend! Thanks for reading!

Outstanding work Bert and all the others that helped get this great bird up and running with the G3X. I saw over on the WT Discord you fellas working on this a couple days ago, thank you! 🙂

Thanks for the info Bert, I figured as much as they would have been posted over on flightsim.to already... It kind of irks me a little when developers release aircraft and can't be bothered to even give an update on whether or not they'll at least be patching the plane to work with the WT G3X. The updated version of the FS Reborn Sting S4 is absolutely amazing, such a fantastic little aircraft.

I hate to bring an older thread out of "retirement" but I'm loving the new Working Title G3X, it's completely changed the way I look at the aircraft that use it as it's default avionics package since Sim Update 15. @Bert Pieke Is the link you shared back in February the latest version you have for bringing up the SWS RV-14 to be compatible with the latest G3X Working Titile build? It's such a fantastic aircraft from SWS. @JYW I was able to get the Working Title G3X up and running in the Lightsim TL-Ultra Light alogn with copying over some of the engine specs to the panel.xml file. However, there's still a few corrections it needs for things like fuel flow, would you mind sharing what you've got for the panel.xml entries? The new Working Title G3X really deserves a dedicated thread for panel modifications for aircraft that have yet to be updated for SU-15. Thanks guys!

That would be an absolutely fantastic Christmas present! 🤗🥂

I wish I could say it was effective then it might be very worth it, but quite often it's only several days until they are uploaded. Unfortunately, at best, Google will de-list the link(s) via a DMCA notice, but that's about it. I develop and code VST/AU/RTAS/TDM/ audio plugins that are used in digital audio workstations (or DAW's for short) Over the years I've lost literally millions in potential revenue because of it. And yeah, I'll be buying the SWS version too as the flight model is exceptional from what I've seen so far. I too enjoy the Carenado PC-12, it's a very fun to fly.

Yeah, the Flightsimware version in FSX/P3D was absolutely EPIC, I really enjoyed flying that plane. I purchased the Ini builds one and wasn't very impressed... I think they also went overboard trying to make the cockpit look too old, the aging and wear & tear textures look like something I'd expect to see in a plane from the 1940's, not a plane that was Japanese state of the art in the mid 1960's.

Does anyone know whether or not the SWS version will have at least a semi-functional EFIS with ARC map mode overlay? In all the preview video's I've seen of the Simworks Pilatus PC-12 I've yet to see if a flight plans waypoints are displayed on the EFIS. Carenado's PC-12 actually does this when using it with the WT GNS-530, it's buggy as heck, however if you enter a flight plan in by hand including your procedures it seem to work pretty well. One thing that's Pi$$ed me right off about Carenado is their insistence of using the MSFS Marketplace instead of selling them from their website like in the old days, the marketplace file encryption has done NOTHING to curb *you know what* and has only penalized the communities ability to fix and/or improve their planes functionalities. Back in the old FSX/P3D days there were several great guys on here who literally fixed Carenado's bugs for them while at the same time adding improvements to their products.

Can I create, or is there at least historical flight plans, for GA aircraft? Are there any GA models included? The thing most lacking for me in MSFS in terms of GA traffic is the complete lack of it. Anyone who's flown IRL out of their local small airport knows how busy it gets in terms of small to medium sized GA flights, especially during the summer months and on the weekends.

Nevermind, need to make sure these work correctly.
