Skypark has a new owner
winjimon replied to qqwertz's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Thanks, I'll check that out. I really did like The Sky Parks interface and navigation map, which was usable as portable device even for aircraft with no GPS etc. I realize there are alternatives. It was just a beautiful and polished package. -
Skypark has a new owner
winjimon replied to qqwertz's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
I'm really disappointed. I just read the Nov 2024 ceased development notice. I'm a casual player, so thoroughly enjoyed The Sky Park mission generator, even if it didn't have a real business engine. I want to a reason to fly missions and use the airplanes I've purchased. That is not possible with MSFS 2024. I have to grind to use planes I don't care about, literally flying through hoops, and with frustrating bugs. The mission generator helped me explore places I'd never consider by randomly picking airfields. I'd buy the product again just for FS 2024 to bypass the new so called career mode, even if it didn't add the new features I was hoping for. -
Xbox controller conflict with Joystick
winjimon replied to winjimon's topic in The Microsoft Flight (2012) Forum
After upgrading to Windows 10, the Joystick works even though the Xbox controller is still connected. May just be an internal device order accident. At least there's no need to unplug now. -
Exact same error here. BTW, I don't use Norton if you were suggesting it could be interfering. Edit: Just back to note. The first conversion attempt failed to complete, however after rebooting and runing again, it did complete and the game appears to work. I still saw some of the same logged errors on the second run.

Xbox controller conflict with Joystick
winjimon replied to winjimon's topic in The Microsoft Flight (2012) Forum
Thank for replying rhumbaflapp, but that is disapointing. The game allows an input device to be selected, it just doesn't seem to 'stick' once chosen. :( -
Just found my Logitech joystick unresponsive. Realized that I had plugged in a USB Xbox controller and it was taking over the aircraft control. The settings screen allows me to select the Logitech joystick as input (and press Accept), however, as long as the Xbox controller is connected it is always in control. Has anyone found a way of flying with Joystick while the Xbox controller remains plugged into the USB?

Converted FSX content and Jobs
winjimon replied to Dano's topic in The Microsoft Flight (2012) Forum
Just open the ProfileData.xml file as previous posters describe. Find the block <CareerXPs> and put 1000000 in there. You'll be at Level 20 with at least all level locked features available. Otherwise, an hour or two of proper challenge flights will get you to level 5 or 6. -
Thanks stonelance, the new version work well, and Tokyo no longer crashes. A couple of questions if I may: I see many bridges missing, will it be possible to convert those in future, or hack in some road segments or generic bridges to fill the gaps? I enjoy free flight, but might it be possible to get 'jobs' working in future, to provide some goal in flying between airfields?

What an AWESOME New Years gift

Same here, I had a little hop around the world. When I jumped to Tokyo it crashed out. -

I'd like to offer my thanks to Steve 'Stonelance' also. I purchased FSX from the Christmas Steam sale hoping to make up something from the demise of Flight. Instead it just made me miss Flight more. Last night I converted the FSX scenery and saw it in Flight for the first time. Wow! Amazing! Great work! -
Been too busy to fly lately, but I'm still lurking. Interested to see what new content could be made or hacked into this game. Flight makes me happy.

Unable to Use Flight
winjimon replied to andyjohnston.net's topic in The Microsoft Flight (2012) Forum
Please show the exact error message in case someone can help. Make sure you uncheck remember password and re-enter. Seems to fix log in problems (even though password has not changed.) -
All good fun. Love the paint job.

MS Flight continues... new rumours
winjimon replied to Heimi's topic in The Microsoft Flight (2012) Forum
Lots of talk. Put simply.... GFWL has been discontinued, not shut down. MS can host the web services required to activate the game and supply DLC until a distant future date. With their own cloud scalable resources, the could do this perpetually. They no longer need dedicated servers to support the occasional network packets for an aging product. -

Also. If you bought the game on Steam. You can still re-install the game even though it is no longer sold on Steam.
