  1. For the MS Marketplace aircraft configuration issue, in frustration, I purchased another license at another source.  Both when on sale.  Saved hours of frustration.

      What aircraft did you buy?

      FlightFX Hjet.  It is my go-to for my follow-sports-team fantasy flight schedule. Example: flying from St Louis to Edmonton tomorrow as if traveling to the St Louis Blues vs Oilers game tomorrow night. KSTL to KYEG with a fuel stop at Minot, ND KMOT.  Forecast 70 knot headwind factor.

  2. How are you trying to start? Mouse? or Yoke/device? If mouse you may need to go to controls settings and clear any related settings for devices. I use a Honeycomb Alpha yoke. It has a rotary switch. Because of twin engine aircraft I use my mouse and start from the aircrafts panel. I also was not able to do so until I went into the default MSFS control settings for the HC Alpha and cleared out any settings for that rotary switch. Now I can use the mouse.
  3. And the next step I learned about two years ago is purchase elsewhere as that so far eliminates the issue.
  4. Why are you creating your own symbolic links instead of using Addons LInker? I have over 300 USA and Caribbean airports in MSFS 2020 and I have experienced only one so far that does not show perfectly in MSFS 2024. I am using one common addon library and accessing that one common library from the recently released pair, Addons Linker 2020 and Addons Linker 2024. Add on aircraft and liveries, and 3rd party avionics (PMS, TDS) are a totally different matter however. Appears nothing was done to embrace what already existed, and even WTs endorsed efforts have produced flaws. The proverbial definition of NIHS (not invented here syndrome). Totally ignores great developers who clean up deficiencies in the sim, as well as ignoring the needs and wishes of a large installed base of users. And Asobo believes their most recent failing was the flawed rollout issues. Sorry Asobo. Now that we have finally and successfully installed 2024, we are well past that and into "today". What is in store is more than just mop up. More like a major case of "catch up" to what already existed. History certainly has a way of repeating itself.
  5. Cockpit lighting. In some aircraft that use sim time to react to interior lighting, when it's live local time outside it appears to be GMT in the cockpit. All screwed up. Give back us our custom tail numbers as configured in aircraft.cfg files for custom liveries. In the world screen, allow it to show in the suggested departure airports: (1) a home airport we choose as an option, and (2) the last airport we landed at. ex. the last airport I landed at is normally the next airport I fly out of. The 2020 and 2024 suggested departures all list the same airports we already departed from in previous flights, like we will be duplicating the previous flight. Who thinks this stuff up?
  6. Bob, Have you been able to determine where the flight plans are located once created and saved at the web site? I am not able to determine how to get them into the MSFS G3000. The send to avionics is getting them to GNS 430/530, but not to G3000.
  7. Look toward the bottom right of your Windows and click on the ^. That will show loaded apps. See if you can ID it there.
  8. Yep. But today I flew at 42,000 while testing to stay under "low fuel temp warning" in the Hjet.
  9. During the only (3) flights I have made with FS2024 where I climbed to above FL360 I witnessed an unusual OAT change of -10°C in only 2,000 ft of climb to FL380. -49°C to -59°C. Normal OAT lapse rate is -2°C per 1,000 ft. so that rate of change is highly unusual. After FL380 I then see OAT stay the same or even gain back a degree on up to FL420. It should continue to go lower. In the Hjet I am also seeing a spike in fuel burn in that narrow altitude range. The aircraft model has not changed. Burn in that altitude band/range appears to be +8% over MS2020. Anyone seeing similar experience with OAT and burn rate with any aircraft in that altitude band?
  10. OK, so now its clear your previous comment may have been that you are instead a Bijan's fan. That's fine. No argument. We each have our preferences. Would prefer you (and others) state those preferences, when appropriate and so influenced, to keep opinionated posts in context. What caught my eye in your original post was the comment "...the only reason...". All-inclusive or such totally conclusive statements often catch my eye.
  11. Would also help if at each airport there would be a stock hangar or two (or three) that are open and inviting, and perhaps even populated with a bit of equipment (tool chests, desks, hand tugs, etc). Adds so much life to otherwise dead airports. Those wandering ramp workers have nowhere to go when nature calls...... The airports are all locked down. The pandemic is over!
