The discounts on MSFS 2020 and 2024 are at the Microsoft Store which is probably why Steam have them too. Here is why. It is indeed a good time to buy.

Apologies for trying to help out, you didn't mention that you already knew the answer. If you had, I would not have posted at all. Welcome to my ignore list.

Further to the above, a one minute search of the Orbx forums reveals the answer: https://forum.orbxdirect.com/topic/225389-ymml-redblack-terrain-arround-airport-p3d-v54/ Unfortunately, it seems that Orbx never did release a fix, but the solution is very simple.

Have you considered sending in a support ticket to Orbx? If not, you can do that here Your P3D version and a screenshot would be helpful to anyone seeking to answer your question, either here, or at Orbx. To attach a screenshot, upload your picture to an image hosting site and then copy the image url (address) and paste it into your reply, like this: https://i.postimg.cc/SRzJbn2X/Untitled.jpg The forum will then automatically display it as the image, like this:

How about this one? Or this: Maybe five windows missing compared to these, yet the model is in a whole different league from what went before. It costs very little, nothing at all if, like me, you bought the first effort. I am delighted and disinclined to look a gift horse in the mouth.

'Yeah' A little bit of time spent with any kind of customer service would tell you that however any announcement is made, there will be those for whom it is not enough, those for whom it is too much, those who don't understand and need guidance, those who read one thing and understand something different and scattered among them are those who receive a message, read it fully and understand the intended message.

No, that's "Shredded Wheat" in the picture. This is Weetabix 🙂 Almost the same, until you see them together.

The product statistics that I quoted are, as I wrote, a typical example and nothing to do with PMDG. It looks like there was the best part of a year to prepare: https://support.precisionmanuals.com/kb/a130/pmdg-operations-center-2_0-end-of-life.aspx I guess that the only remedy would have been for them to have sent emails to every customer, in the hope that they would all receive and then read them, not to mention that they may then interpret the words to mean something else. I expect that an announcement on their website seemed like the obvious solution that it is. I am sure that you will be missed at the PMDG shop.

Whether we agree, or not, sales of FSX and P3D products fell off a cliff in 2020 and accelerated towards the ground in 2024. There is not really any point in developing, or even selling, anything for P3D when a typical comparison shows that when a product for MSFS 2024 sells 305 copies so far this year, the MSFS 2020 version sells 116 and the FSX/P3D version, 6 copies. The lack of support could have been easily mitigated, given the long notice period, by setting everything up before the end date.

Over here, there are no public bathrooms without baths or restrooms without beds. However, we do have lots of these, some freeware and some payware. 🙂 Another minor irritation is the imported reluctance to use the word "died" to describe the end of a life. For example, passed, passed away, passed on, at rest, at peace, gone, went to a better place. They all replace the simple term, died. Died is short, to the point and impossible to misunderstand.

These are regional variations, which exist in the UK in the same way that they do in every other country on the planet. The "correct", or standard version of the language is now called "King's English", formerly "Queen's English" It has an equivalent, I suspect, in many countries. In Germany, where I lived for a while the "correct" language version was called "Hochdeutsch". My own pet hate is the American way of extending perfectly good words to no useful purpose. "Transportation" has travelled across the Atlantic Ocean and there is no context at all, where the word "Transport" will not do the job. "I could care less", when it means "I couldn't care less" is one I share a dislike of. Another is the execrable junk food that seems to be helping to make the UK population much larger than they need to be.

I think it must be this: We will be performing scheduled server maintenance on Friday, July 24, from 3:00 PM ET to 4:00 PM ET. During this maintenance window, all REX services will be unavailable.

It must be said that the really quite large mesh anomalies that were there when MSFS 2024 was first released have disappeared and the airport model looks pretty good to me. MSFS 2024 is, of course, a moving target and may well change again, but for now the MSFS 2020 LDSP looks to be quite acceptable when used in MSFS 2024. It looks exactly the same, with photogrammetry on, or off. It will not survive the beta tester's eye, however, so if you decide to buy it, you will need to be a little more tolerant. If that's not possible, I would recommend not buying it.

You must be a developer's dream customer.

I am not sure why you think that developers owe 30% discounts. As we have seen with, for example, KATL, the work can take years.

Regardless of the sale, If you own LIRF v1, there is a 30% discount on v2 at at least two of MK Studios resellers.

On the other hand, it stands as a tiny monument to human stupidity.

Hello, still the same, imgur is switched off in the UK. Using a VPN, this is what I can see: Without a VPN, this:

Not that it matters much, but those of us who are in the UK see only this, courtesy of imgur.

Just to emphasise the truth of YMMV, I use a 3080ti, with 12 GB of onboard RAM, 64 GB of DDR4 system RAM and a 43" 4k monitor and it doesn't run out of "VRAM", though quite often it will use almost all of it. I don't go chasing framerates, it's locked at 30. The graphics card never overheats and the frame rates never go much below 28. My own opinion, worth as much or as little as anyone else's, is that MSFS 2024 uses a given percentage of the available VRAM and indeed system RAM, which is why some report using over 12 GB of VRAM and 30+ GB of system RAM, which, if it was the actual demand, would defeat lesser systems, like mine, yet it doesn't. Another of my opinions, is that MSFS 2024 is very good at managing the available resources, while at the same time, maximising the performance that can be gained from them.

Try a reinstall instead of just the update.

For me, it would be a 220 mile journey each way. It's not a problem, as I will not be going. I shouldn't be surprised, I suppose, to read that the much requested show is now the subject of critique, before it has even happened. Here are some more things to complain about: https://fsimuk.bfsg.club/ In my world, the Bristol Flight Simulation Group are to be congratulated for seizing the initiative and I hope that it is a great success.

For those of us in the UK, where imgur has been disabled, here is the picture, hosted elsewhere: The now King Charles is an extremely well travelled, well educated and erudite man who is highly unlikely to have required an interpreter to be able to follow Mr Scott's American English. I expect that it was just a guess by the journalist, or perhaps even a little gentle satire?

Indeed, there was one before I installed the update. There's a number in it as well, showing how many updates there are. In this case, 1.

Those who have bought and installed it see this:
