Also Steve, I noticed another tool you mentioned in FSD: "FlightAssetLocator". Could this be used to find all the airports in Flight for instance? I took a quick pass at running it but got no result.

Hey guys. You may want to continue this thread in the MS Flight Simulator Forum next door. Fly on.

Back in business again. After resetting and restarting a couple of different ways, I got Flight running again. I have 1.0.23.5 up again too with the career-track box unchecked. I'll leave it that way for now.

After installing the Career-track update today, Flight no longer will start. It gets to the initial Flight splash screen then hangs. I was using toolkit version 1.0.23.5. Unchecking the Career-track box had no effect. Any ideas?

You go J.R. I'm right behind you.

Flight multiplayer offered something that is lacking in single player Flight: "Life". Other sim pilots have mentioned how lonely it feels to land at a beautifully detailed Flight airport, that's lifeless. In FSX there is computer generated life that, at least makes it feel like you are not here alone. It sounds like bringing Multiplayer into Addon Manger is not an easy job, and therefore is far down the priority list. Perhaps bringing over FSX computer generated life (other air traffic, etc.), is easier to do ? Always looking for the low hanging fruit~Tom

It took 1.0.23 to get me there, but 350 it is at last! I was sitting on 346 for a very long time. According to my records, I had those last 4 already. Thanks again Steve for moving this project another mile down the road! Are we ready to add some fresh ones yet? BTW: I appreciate Paul's thoughts on how we use the next/last slots for new caches. If we really are stuck with only 500, we should use them wisely. I'm not sure that every one should be a Mount Rushmore, or Tower of Big Ben, but probably should have some historical value, while also being challenging to find. Lot's of ways to go with this.

This topic started out with the official MS Signoff, and of course a lot of us replied with "What a shame..." and "What could have been..." But this topic has swung to a positive, where we can go next in Flight. Goodbyes are done. Hello, let's go.

I agree with Rick. All 350 should be permanent. Thanks Steve! You da man!

Yeah! With 1.0.21 Flight now fires up! It loads up quickly to the non-GFWL login screen. After logging in it says I am connected to the "Microsoft Server". Addon Manager has a green light. However, it shows me only 169 of the 346 aerocaches I have found, I'm guessing these are the 169 "permanent" caches I have found. I'm guessing that if Rick and Heimi counted their list of checked caches, they would not see all their caches, just the ones made permanent. Line 27 on the xlive log says 350 aerocaches found. I hope this helps Steve. Thanks again for all the work you are putting in on this.!

The download said: newer version of already exists. New install not necessary. Reinstalled Toolkit 1.0.12. Same thing: Addon Mgr says (red) "Not connected to Flight. Not backed up."

I tried installing that, but it asks me where I want it installed? No default location suggested. Do you know where it should go? BTW: Flight runs the same whether I have Addon Mgr turned on or not. It tries to connect, then gives up and puts me into Flight like a 1st time user. Except my hangar has the same planes, and I have Alaska. I guess I could start all over from here?

@jpc55 Same here Jack. Except I'm sure I had Flight running at least once under 1.0.18.x. But after that, Flight would not even load. I uninstalled 1.0.18.x and then reinstalled 1.0.12.x. Flight fired up and ran OK. Only I had XP=1, Achievements=0, Aerocaches=0. I have my profile backed up so I should be OK when 1.0.18.x is fixed. -Tom

I loaded 1.0.18.5 today and have the same problem. 0 Aerocaches in Flight and it indicates that I am connected to Flight servers.

Same here Steve. Multiplayer in Alaska working again. Perhaps it's all about what server you land on when logging in.

You might be right. I just fired up Flight and it could not connect.

The 350 club continues to grow! I'm STILL at 346.

Thanks. It's there. BTW: Sure is cool to see these new scenery screenshots popping up on the forums.

Hi Steve, Just to be sure, I downloaded and started 1.0.12. Flight Tool Kit. Then I started MS Flight as you suggested. How can I tell if my Flight profile has been extracted from their server and saved locally? TIA -Tom

Hopped over to FSDeveloper for a look. This is going to be great! Thanks Dick. -Tom

You go Waterman! We need some guys like you out on the "Bleading Edge".

Speaking of new technologies Steve, will the toolkit run on Windows 10 !?!

Thanks for all the effort you have put into this project!

These are the kind of "finds" you get when you put in as much flight time as Jack does. Save some of these for our upcoming Tsunami of new aerocaches.

I like the <POIDistance> and the AcquireDistance>. This will enable us to make them very hard to find and acquire if we want to. :Big Grin:
