Bad_T

yup wanted to try this new version (without much hope of it being to the level i hoped it would be to be honest and it didn't fail 😄) and i have the same issue. (i have disabled the 2020 version). i found out that it's discussed here : https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/atr-72-while-trying-to-integrate-my-simbrief-id-into-the-efb-can-not-use-enter/624214 there is maybe some sort of little trick by clicking on the edge of the button, i did that, not sure if it worked because the button stays at 'log in' but then i had almost immediately a WASM crash when clicking on import (before even trying to fly or do system stuff) .. it's really in a bad state for some us. oh well if someone finds a reliable solution it would be nice 🥰 or we'll just wait for the next patch with high hopes like we've always do with this plane 🤣

Should you want to share it one day, feel free to do so, it would be no prob for me. There are no royalties to pay, with AL everything is always free 😁😉🍺 i wish i had AI 4 years ago when working on AL, would have probably saved 100's of hours for better code 🤭

Hello, It's taken from the manifest.json file of the addon. (you can open it from AL via the right click menu 'manage addon -> open manifest.json file) "content_type": "SCENERY" AL only shows on the map the addons tagged as 'scenery' to avoid having to scan thousands of addons having nothing to do with sceneries like planes and others (which would make no sense on a map). That's why it was thought out this way (maybe not a good idea if nowadays some sceneries do not have the 'scenery' type). but, yes, i think you can change it without any risks, juste make sure you don't break the file structure, just replace "MISC" by "SCENERY", in case of prob just revert back. 🍺

Thank you for your input @JYW, yes, turning it off is obviously not a good solution. But i will try that because if it can at least prevent it from happening until a real fix is found it would at least improve a bit the situation. I will do some more tests like 'direct to', but no i have very minimal addons, no activesky, no realturb, no fsrealistic, no other running programs.. no fancy complicated controllers (a simple joystick and xbox controller 🙃) so yeah it's really as close as a default simple setup as you could get. 🍺

Thank you @BrianT, yeah that's probably what i'm experiencing, will try with yaw damper off even if it's obviously not a good solution (and maybe will create other issues, i guess if it should be on it's for some reason 😉). But maybe/hopefully with that thread they are investigating it.

Hello, Not sure if it's a known issue with the latest version 737-800 4.00.007 (i wish it was but probably not because i could not find any info about it) but my PMDG is doing weird things recently. It has huge issues staying stable, in my last 4 flights (never had that before, but haven't flown it in a while), at some points it started veering from left to right continuously. See 2 pics below taken a few seconds apart, the predictive white line just go from left to right continously so the plane continues to turn left-right-left-right). It's quite annoying, been flying those planes for years and never had that kind of problem that looks more like what you could get with some badly programmed default planes or when using time acceleration. This happened even on a 80NM straight line, suddenly it started moving left-right continuously. Even once on ILS approach, after capturing the LOC it start going wildly from left to right to try to keep on the LOC and had to disconnect autopilot. Really strange, hopefully someone has an idea (i have already tried without turbulance, without wake effects, low wind...) because for now i can't really make good use of my 2 cup of coffees 😁🤭😁 Thank you 🍺

yeah @andy1252 .. i agree, i also thought it was not really needed and that's why i didn't do anything until now about that folder. But i get more and more requests from people asking me to implement that and saying that, in some cases, it does make a difference (like for example TFDI installing in the community2024 and if you don't link it there it will not work, haven't tested myself, i haven't bought it ... yet i should say because it looks quite tempting 😉). So well yeah having in the last 2 weeks several people asking for it i guess i have to do something (but sure i would prefer to not add complexity to the program). And that being said i just had some more thoughts about my 2 ideas above, idea2 probably won't work with presets, because presets would not know in which folder to create the link. So for now it would probably be idea1 having the edge, but well we'll see if there's some more feedback and ideas in the coming days, there is no rush to develop something fast, if i do something i need to do it correctly. Thank you for your input 🍺

Hello guys, i need some help. With SU4, it has appeared that AL needs a little feature to manage both the Community and Community2024 folders (not really needed for me but well you know it's for the community 😉). Unfortunately, as it is now, AL can't do that and most of the logic is based on only 1 destination folder so some changes are needed. Without even speaking about the complexity of the changes (it will probably require some work as all the features are based on the existence of only 1 destination folder), i need a good idea on how to do that in the UI. I thought a bit about it but i didn't really come up with any fantastic ideas. here are my first 2 ideas. - Idea 1 : Adding an additional column in the left panel (community2024). If the users clicks on that column (it would work like the current 'persistant' column) then the link will be created in the community2024 for the addons that have that option selected. - CON : a new column to manage for the users - ADV : still a single vision of all the linked addons in the same right panel as of today (with a different color for those in the community2024 folder). UI still close that what people have been using until now - Idea 2 : A new tab on the right panel of AL. There would be the 'Community' tab like today, and a new tab 'Community 2024'. When the Community2024 tab is selected, links will be created in the community2024 folder, when the 'community' folder is selected, the links will be created in the 'community' folder - ADV : probably easiest to understand for the user, the link gets created based on the currently selected tab - CON : probably harder to program - CON : no more clear visibility of all the linked addons, they would be split in 2 different grid (risk of duplicates, bit different to what you were used to until n - other ideas ? ADS : the professional grades mockup pictures included in this message were edited with Microsoft Paint !! 😁🤭😄 Wondering if some of you who would need this feature, or have maybe better ideas, could give me some hints of other possible ways or feedback about what is written above. Thank you. 🍺

so it should be an easy fix, just let the small white window appear and then right click on it and select 'maximize'. The tool should be back to full screen (if you minimize it will disappear again because it's just outside of the monitor boundaries), then go into the options screen 'ui options' and click on the button 'restore windows position' at the bottom and everything should be ok for the next start.

Oh 😳.. that's very strange, new graphic card or bios should not interfere. So i guess you don't have any message error, you just click on the shortcut (or the EXE, try both) and nothing happens ? Some things to check : - does something appear in your windows taskbar (i guess no because you said you cleared the preference) but let me know if something appears there, or if you see the program launching for a few seconds before disappearing - check the Windows even log, under application you will sometimes see some red icon with an error if an application crashes without saying anything - make sure there is no AL process still running in memory (check with windows task manager), if for some reason there was a problem and it's already running in memory a new instance will not launch - if really nothing happens and nothing is visible then it can also be some security software with high level settings blocking it because it's an unsigned EXE, in that case there is nothing to do inside AL because AL will not be called and it's another program blocking it. In that case can you maybe try to disable them for a few seconds just to try if it's that. - last can you maybe check this post and see if you have the same issue those are my first ideas, might take a bit of time but we'll find out 😉

@Mente big sorry, for some reason i never saw your message from August 6th otherwise i would have replied earlier. If you still run MSFS2020 and MSFS2024, you can share the same 'source' folders assuming that most addons will work for both addons, there is no need to duplicate addons. For the specific cases where an addon work only for one of the two sims or of i you have 2 addons with the same name, for example a 'fnx-aircraft-320' folder that work only for v2020 and 'fnx-aircraft-320' that works only for 2024 , you can hide the one not compatible with the version of AL you're running, so you share the same source folders and : when you run AL2024 -> you can hide addons that do not work with MSFS2024 when you run AL2020 -> you can hide addons that do not work with MSFS2020 That's what most people do and it should be ok. I add posted a picture in MAY last year to present that 'hide feature', i'll put it back here below Not sure if it's clear enough or if i replied fully to your question, if not let me know 🍺 @bennyboy75 You can create links in the 'Official2020' and 'Official2024' folders. You need to set 2 different source folders though. So if you have something in your Official2024 folder that you want to link you should be able to drop it in another folder that you specify in the AL options screen 'avanced' tab. Then when you create the link it should appear in the Official2024, same for Official2020 if you need both. So every addon that you place in the folder referenced in 'custom official 2024 folder' field will have its link created in the 'Official 2024' folder, and those placed in 'the custom official 2020 folder' will have their links created in the 'Official 2020' folder. Like i said everytime when moving official files, make sure you start slowly, try 1 addon at the time and test that they work ok inside the sim, do not start moving GB of data before noticing it doesn't work for you. By doing so it should be ok. Also sometimes users with the MS-Store have difficulty with encrypted files and the addons don't work if they are moved, it that happens to you should start seeing 'can not read manifest.json' files and the addon will not work. So if you see that let me know and i'll give you a little trick to move the addon that usually works. Once again not sure if it's very clear, if not let me know with more info about your specific case scenario. 🍺

it's around 15 miles east from LSGS ... but yeah it's due to the very high mountains in the Alps, as soon as there's a bit of snow up there (8000+ feet) very high the full valley (1500 feet) gets covered in snow even if there is none at all (and that lasts for months, it it was wrong for a few days we wouldn't even complain). Always been like that unfortunately due the MS using very poor resolution from meteoblue i think (probably the cheapest one because they don't have much money 😄). So yeah it happens mostly where there are big mountains like Switzerland / Austria / part of France and Italy / Germany and other places in Canada or New Zealand (i think the popular Milford Sound is also often full of unrealistic snow even when it's 15°) .. well i'm well aware it's very hard to model the full world and the job done is already great, but i think that a simple option like snow ON/OFF (or an altitude limit) would probably be easy to do and would make a lot of people happy. So those like me who just hate that bloody snow could at least put it away. Best solution would obviously to open the weather system and let third party improve it (i'm sure they would in great way) but they don't want to do that either so we're stuck with a so-so implementation that we can't improve (they want to do everything halfway instead of just focusing on the very important stuff very well).

I could easily change the topic ... [Major beautiful winter with no snow. You wouldn't know in MSFS2024]. 😁😁😁 in some regions, last snow was mid november, not a single snow ball since then .. and well in sim, we have fully covered snow everywhere from november to april ... really frustrating, most people even have to disable live weather just to not see that bloody snow lasting 4-5 months a year when it doesn't exist at all in real life. Even a single option 'depict snow yes/no' would be so great to get rid of it but well i think they don't care about that at all. So yeah sometimes little snow might be missing for a few days in Amsterdam or Paris but then in real life it gets away quickly anyway and the problem is less pronounced than huge regions which have fully covered snow for months when that just doesn't exist in real life. I can't resist to comment when people complain about lack of snow 😄😄, because for me it's just the opposite and it's one of my biggest complain with the weather system, i just hate that persistent snow in some regions but it's a known issue that already existed 5 years ago and probably will never be fixed. But well .. to sum up, please don't add more snow Asobo/MS 😁😄 Real life (today) vs sim .. and it's like that since late november .. and will be like this till april/may probably .... i think last year mid march or april it was like 15-20° in some part of Austria and there was still snow everywhere. looking at those screen, it's really unbelievable how realistic the scenery is in MSFS, even the sun shading is perfect compared to real life 👍, really great sim but well yeah the stupid snow has been bothering me for 5 years 😁

edit : Matchstick added a pic to his original reply while i was posting this message so this one not really needed 😄 ---- To complement what Matchstick correctly said, here's a little picture of what you should see. Sometimes a little pic helps so you can compare with what you got. if you don't see the GS indicator at the top then it will not descend. Make sure you are at a good altitude to catch the glidescope by checking the chart and in LOC1 mode by pressing in the CDI button until LOC1 appears. 🍺

good selection 👍, i'll try all those i don't already know before the end of the holidays ! for me, my favourite has been SKPS RNAV 02 ... that dive towards the mountains before seeing almost immediately after the turn a tiny strip near a big deep canyon is just incredible. It's also a good airport to test the plane autopilot capacity, no problem for high end aicraft like fenix or pmdg and it makes the approach super easy because there's not much to do except enjoy the show 😁, but with older planes or planes where the autopilot is not very well implemented, then it's a real challenge (at least for me 🙃).
