Well stated Ryan.

Hop on! Its a great ride!

I'll chime in here. I use AdBlock Plus. On Flightsim TO I got tired of repeatedly answer the "no support" prompt. I reluctantly switched Adblock Plus off for the site and refreshed. That was over two weeks ago. With AB+ off I have not seen one popup add since. The ads I do see (image below) are few and are located within the matrix of addons available to download. In the world of obnoxious popups, I consider this unabusive. I do not pay TO subscription fees, so this as it is presently seems fair to allow them a source of revenue. I have literally hundreds of freeware addon airports, mostly GA airports that will not be rendered by payware developers. This to me is a small price to pay for all of those, plus other addons such as liveries, sim tools and mods, etc.

Agree but it is more like blown in attic insulation....

Agree, especially in regard to cloud textures and the lacking poputlation of cloud types. What should not go unmentioned here is the relationship of the weather to the sim's ATIS/ASOS. Personally am so tired of hearing: "wind 150/12" and then "runway 14 in use, landing and departing runway 32". Is there not anyone on the Asobo team with related knowledge, either piloting or weather service? Then, always dew points of "12" (F), especially in winter when the ambient temperature is lower than 12 (F) am located in the US. (from yours truely, a former USAF meteorologist)

My normal rate of descent is approx 600 FPM (feet per minute). Have to do the math to determine that in regard to FPS (feet per second). LOL! I just fly!

UP and running again this try. USA East Coast. 21:30Z now. Had not tried for a couple of hours previously.

Still down here on USA east coast (Maryland). Why the references to xbox? I am on a desktop.

In the meantime get your arms around the excellent "autoFPS" app that is so mentioned here on Avsim. The developer has the longest running topic in Avsim history and is present and very supportive. His app may provide some interim benefit for you. Sad to see that you are too budget restricted for a new system. The topic is in this MSFS forum and the most recent post by the developer was less than 5 hours ago.

I highly suspect an assignment within your Settings, Controls. Milviz has its own mindset relative to hardware assignments. Do you see and hear your RPM increase with application of throttle? Have you attempted to release the parking brake with your mouse? Attempt to and observe. Does it release and then immediatly lock down again? Also check external views to insure you do not haver chocks in place, etc.

That is a most excellent link! 👋

And me as well. Was not any attempt to single you or anyone else out.

It is markedly better and nowhere near as taxing on my system (my system specs are in my signature below). Looks incredible. Hey, I fly in, park, and shut down. I do not taxi around looking for flaws, and never try to use MSFS to enter the airport and look around. I have spent too many long hours in airports during my business career and the inside of an airport in a simulator is not on my plate. 🤥

The first is Addons Linker, and it is free so you still get three more.... The next is AutoFPS, which is also free. So you still get three more.... Navigraph subscription Active Sky Pick one scenery...

Does it have a feature to keep profiles in place from MSFS session to the next. With thr latest MSFS 2024 build (not using beta) my controls settings per aircraft are not staying in place. I have to go into Settings Controls and reselect the appropriate profiles, even when flying the same aircraft from session to session.

Please report back on your experience.

I did that later this afternoon, and I found a previous post and response here that helped. But your explanation above in response to me is much more clear to me. Thanks as always. Been a loyal user since day one! 😀

I flew for the first time since this update today. I noticed that FG was inactive. Have not encountered this before. Checking during my 3 hour flight I found FG occasional active, then later inactive again. I have not made any settings changes. Seems that if I simply go into MS2024 Settings, do not make any changes, then return and check again, FG is then active. I fly for a while, check Auto FPS, and again FG is inactive. Any guidence? My hardware specs are in my signature.

Ryan is mostly correct with his descriptions in his post. In addition to the virga that he points out, storms, especially heavy storms, may at times also be accompanied by lower cumulus fractus clouds, often referred to as scud, which do not have uniform bases. It is also common for layers of cumulus clouds to be accompanied by higher levels of clouds, such as altocumulus and altostratus, and even cirrus, which are yet higher. Those layers have their own base levels. And those have base levels that unto themselves are also quite uniform. I have not yet seen a weather engine with textures that represent all cloud types, and especially not render multiple cloud levels together in a proper sense. In my experience Active Sky 16 (2016) for FSX and X-plane did those best. MSFS 20 & 24 appear to present challenges to multi-level rendering, especially cirrus cloud types.

Is there not a way to have the Meigs overlay the update?

Perhaps more of us are former pilots......

I do so routinely. I have a template I use in Excel and have it sized for a 6" X 9" clear plexiglass clipboard. I scale to meet paper size and print to half-letter size paper (4.25" X 5.5"). I just cut 8.5 X 11 in half and adjust my paper tray. Once printed I laminate them with an inexpensive Xyron laminater. They hold up very well that way. Many are two-sided and with the plexiglass clipboard all I need to do for the second side is flip the clipboard over. For my most often flown aircraft, the FFX Hjet. I determined the files holding its G3000 checklists and modified them using Notepad++. They are json files and it takes extreme attention to detail to find success. One space or comma out of place can cause a great deal of frustration, but the end result has been rewarding.

This has been a recent issue for me as well. For just one control, my HC Alpha. One profile selection is settling on a default MSFS 2024 profile. Before each and every flight I have needed to change that setting to an actual HC Alpha saved profile. The MSFS 2024 typical persistence that exists, carrying that profile in place from one MSFS 2024 to the next is not carrying over as it has previously done.

MSFS 2024. Hjet selected. Start a flight. Check Settings, Controls. What specific MSFS Profile do you have selected for your keyboard? Compare the keyboard profile in use for the Hjet to the profile in use for your other aircraft. etc. I have had a couple of recent issues with 2024 and the Hjet with "perisistence", the saving or continuation of selected profiles in use from one MSFS session-to-next-session. Check all your controls profiles, including the Airplane profile. I have a strong suspicion the answer lies there in the controls settings. I am needing to change back my airplanes profile and possibly one or two more profiles from session to session for the new 2024 Hjet.

Thank you. Anything special to installing it? Uninstalling earlier?
