I just updated using the FSDT updater and my Key West lost all the buildings. Any ideas on restoration? EDIT: I found the culprit. The problem was caused by SKDS_KNQX-V1_MSFS from Sim Market. I removed that and all is well.

I have the textures for the P3D Chalks version. Can they be used in this package?

Henrik Nielsen's Global AI Ship Traffic for MSFS
dexthom replied to captain420's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
This was published somtime ago and it worked for me: So, for those interested, here is the simple procedure to see Henrik's stunning boats in MSFS: - We assume that everyone knows the location of their "community" folder - We assume that everyone knows how to make a .py file (see this post). If this .py file is well done, no need to enter any command line: a double-click on it is enough. - We will call it "build.py" We will start by creating a working folder, on the desktop for example. We will call it "KL-traffic-ships" In this folder, we will create two folders, named "scenery" and "Simobjects" In the "scenery" folder we will import all the traffic .bgls from Henrik's traffic_ships, coming from FSX or P3D. These .bgls start with "traffic_ships _....". There are 1,810 in my house. Once done, we will put our "build.py" file in the "KL-traffic-ships" folder Double-click on it, which will generate the very important "layout.json" file (a dos window will quickly open, showing the compilation). Once done, we remove the "build.py" which is no longer used for anything. To this, and still in this "KL-traffic-ships" folder, we can add a "ContentInfo" folder and a "manifest.json" file, both copied from another scene for example (They don't really have importance at this point). We now tackle the "Simobjects" folder: - in this folder, we will create a new folder named "boats" in which we will deposit the AI boats of Henrik's traffic_ships. These folders, containing the .mdl and textures, start with AI _....) It's over for the "KL-traffic-ships" folder that we can now place in our "community" folder. This is now the most delicate part since we will be dealing with a file specific to MSFS. Go to the location: 😄 \ Users \ your_account \ AppData \ Roaming \ Microsoft Flight Simulator (this assumes that your hidden files are visible of course) In this folder there is a file named "FlightSimulator.CFG" we open it with the notepad and we look for the line [Main] which looks like this: [Main] User Objects = Airplane, Helicopter SimObjectPaths.0 = SimObjects \ Airplanes SimObjectPaths.1 = SimObjects \ Rotorcraft SimObjectPaths.2 = SimObjects \ GroundVehicles SimObjectPaths.3 = SimObjects \ Boats SimObjectPaths.4 = SimObjects \ Animals SimObjectPaths.5 = SimObjects \ Misc SimObjectPaths.6 = SimObjects \ Humans SimObjectPaths.7 = SimObjects \ Landmarks We will add to these lines the location of our boats so that the simulation can find them: SimObjectPaths.8 = your location of the "community" \ KL-traffic-ships \ SimObjects \ boats folder Which gives me, for example: [Main] User Objects = Airplane, Helicopter SimObjectPaths.0 = SimObjects \ Airplanes SimObjectPaths.1 = SimObjects \ Rotorcraft SimObjectPaths.2 = SimObjects \ GroundVehicles SimObjectPaths.3 = SimObjects \ Boats SimObjectPaths.4 = SimObjects \ Animals SimObjectPaths.5 = SimObjects \ Misc SimObjectPaths.6 = SimObjects \ Humans SimObjectPaths.7 = SimObjects \ Landmarks SimObjectPaths.8 = P: \ Microsoft Flight Simulator \ Packages \ Community \ KL-traffic-ships \ SimObjects \ boats do not forget to save the modification! -

Keep you eye on the "OutHouse" Henrik will probably post news there. -
World Update II - North America
dexthom replied to Zimmerbz's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Since the continent of North America include Canada and Mexico, maybe they will add a few spots for those countries. -
Windows 10 H20 and MSFS, safe to update?
dexthom replied to captain420's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
No problems at this time. -
MSFS available for preorders. Releasing August 18th!
dexthom replied to TuFun's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
When it becomes available for download, you should be able to install in the location of choice. -
The watermarks are part of the testing environment. Just ignore them and continue testing.

June 18th, 2020 - Development Update
dexthom replied to ChaoticBeauty's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Perhaps we will get one of those or maybe the fickel finger of fate in FSXX. -
May 21st, 2020 - Development Update
dexthom replied to ChaoticBeauty's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
They said,"Closed Beta" I understand that means the testing will be by persons selected to participate in the Beta. I would assume that an individuals active participation in the Alpha would be one of the criteria for beta selection. -
Back in the day, they ran into trade mark problems with a couple of the airlines. Perhaps it has reared its ugly head again. Just a WAG on my part.

April 23rd, 2020 Development Update

I viewed it as a hill hugging river. Looking on down the valley the river aqppears normal. That has plagued P3D in the past when the water climbed the shore line. -

January 23rd, 2020 - Development/Insider Update
dexthom replied to ChaoticBeauty's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
QUOTE: Good News We have been able to identify the issue that prevented us from launching our Alpha build yesterday and have a fix in place. The not as good news In order for us to implement the fix we needed to do some work which will require us to once again test a new build to before we can push it live. What does this all mean Without putting out a hard date we believe we can have this resolved sooner than later. Unfortunately, while we work on testing the build, maintenance is likely to continue until the new Alpha build goes live. We understand that everyone is excited (us too) to jump in and help us test/explore the new Alpha build. As such we thank you again for your patience and understanding while we continue to work through this issue. The team has been hard at work to address this and we will continue to update you as we know more. We hope that after this has been resolved that wait will be worth it and everyone can jump back in and enjoy the latest Alpha build. Thank you again, -Microsoft Flight Simulator Team- UNQUOTE -
I have the 9900K running at 4.9 on all cores. Works great for me.

For me the folder structure appears the same as it has before. Have you posted on the Lockheed Martin support forum?

If you have City scape Portland installed, it is hard on the frames.

Try the Windows control panel, devices.
-
Have you tried Orbx Central? You should talk to the Orbx folks about you problem.
-
P3D has released HF2 and Chase plane has probably updated.
-
Have you asked for support on the Orbx site?

Look at your p3d.exe. The file version should be 4.5.12.30293 D
-
I only updated the client and so far I have very good performance with no problems.

Thie is from Lockheed: "3rd Party Software (Add On's) after a Client update Completing a Client Update will mostly effect Utilities like Active Sky Next, Active Sky 2016, FSUIPC, Flight1 GTN 750\650, SODE, Chaseplane, Orbx ObjectFlow and EZdok Just to name a few. In most cases Software Developers will be releasing Updates to there Programs\Utilities to coincide with the release of a new Client update"
