B747. It is not called the 'Queen of the Sky' for nothing.

Unable to Backup MSFS for Reinstallation
Baron58 replied to RandallR's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I have the steam version, originally installed in Win10 which was later updated to Win11. When I installed MSFS I stipulated that it must be installed on Drive D in folder 'MSFS steam'. The 'Official'-folder was then placed in this folder. I placed my Community-folder in the Steam folder as well. When running Synctoy it is very easy to select each of these two folders (separately) to make a backup to wherever you want. The backups are verified after each run. If, for example, the Official-folder gets damaged, you delete this folder and then copy the backup over in it's place. I don't know where the 'Official'- and Community folders of the store-version are installed. Simmers with the store-version might give you some info eg how to install this version on a different drive and whether the encryption is then 'broken'. If that is so, Synctoy should then do the job. -
Unable to Backup MSFS for Reinstallation

Been using Synctoy since the dawn of time. Although it is not supported anymore, you can download it from https://m.majorgeeks.com/mg/getmirror/microsoft_synctoy_for_windows_xp,1.html. It works in Win10 and Win11. I use it before every MSFS update to backup the official folder and the community folder. One of the best utilities ever. -
Same here - excellent results so far!

Razer Tartarus Pro Thoughts
Baron58 replied to Rocky_53's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Have been using Razer Orbweaver for more than 10 years. Fantastic in combination with Chaseplane in previous flight sims. Better than Tartarus in my view but unfortunately not available anymore. 20 Programable keys for views in cockpit as well as internal/external views in FS2020. Never had any problems with updates or sticky keys. As a matter of fact as good as new. One of the best hardware periferals I have at the moment. -

Update went fine. Everything is working except that now the flaps are not working (all Aircraft). Nothing was changed in the control settings. Checked everything - no double bindings etc. How is this possible as before the update I had a perfectly running sim?

Mine was shipped from Aerosoft on 17 December 2020 and has been sitting at IPZ Frankfurt since 22 December. The carrier is DHL. Apparently due to Covid lockdown.

So, did anybody have a smooth installation?
Baron58 replied to dobee51's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Took 3 hours to download and install from 06:25 - 09:20 (GMT+2). Very smooth and constant download at 125 Mbs. Now to setup before I can start flying. Very happy so far. -

Same problem here.

I have exactly the same problem as Pat. Very frustrating! V5 however is running 100% with no other problems except the 'wall of death' at some airports (all default). Leon
