Thanks so much Alex.. Done and FIXED! Appreciate it sir and best regards Norm

Not sure if I missed it but having problems with importing userpoints via csv file. Getting error. Detail: Can no longer import csv file which contain userpoints. (Using MSFS2020 and/or MSFS2024) I am using LNM the portable version (non-install version : LittleNavmap-win64-3.0.16.zip which I use when flying in msfs2024) but also have the 3.0.12 LNM (non install version) on my system for when I am flying 2020). (Can't import userpoints from csv on this version either for some reason). On 3.0.16 I am getting the following error message when trying to import any csv file: [img]https://i.imgur.com/mW8Td6J.jpeg[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/mW8Td6J.jpeg[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/mW8Td6J.jpeg[/img] Do I need to use the install version of LNM (to invoke registry paths/settings? or is there something else I need to do to fix the csv import error? Thanks in advance for your help on this. If you need any other info just let me know. Norm Richards ([email protected])

Thanks Sir Ron!!

Got it finally figured out.. thanks Gunter..

Hopefully HUD Can be turned off in both internal and external view?

I'm IN... all I want is to load a simple FP... can't load a .pln file?

I have yet to load up the 2024 simulator but will keep on trying

I'm just planning do another setup of AL-- for 2024. (And leave the AL for 2020 as is... Then as we migrate add-ons (or if) over to 2024 fully, set up any add-ons in AL 2024.. Easy and clean.. No messing about. (AL is 99 mg) so having two occurrences is not huge disk space so just have two AL.. one for 20 and the other for 24.

Welcome to Mexico For Wednesday Nov. 13, 2024 Coast of Acapulco ‘Have never been to Acapulco or Mexico City but in this “fast put together excursion” we’ll do some sightseeing. From the port city of Acapulco de Juárez, (Acapulco) on the south coast of Mexico we will wind northward along highways, bi-ways and rivers to the Mexican interior to the capital city of Mexico, Mexico City. Along the way we’ll atop two volcanos: Popocatépetl an active stratovolcano, located in the states of Puebla, Morelos and Mexico, (central Mexico), in the eastern half of the Trans-Mexican volcanic belt and Iztaccíhuatl which a 5,230 m dormant volcanic mountain located on the border between the State of Mexico and Puebla within Izta-Popo Zoquiapan National Park. Popocatépetl Iztaccíhuatl Our Excursion: This trip is 326 nm with nine landings: A low as possible negotiating the terrain but rising to almost 18,000 ft to scale the and Iztaccíhuatl volcanoes. Airports in our route: MM41 MMAA MMCH MMMQ MM62 MMUF MMTH MM09 MMCB MMMX Flight Plan/Itinerary LINK: HERE Aircraft: Well not sure about this one: Mostly low and slow but we’ll definitely need some speed as well as climb power. Turbo Bonanza (Rob Young or Bksq) comes to mind for me but any aircraft that can travel between 150 and 180 with some climbing power will do. As always, please feel free to use your aircraft of choice.

Scotland Tigers-9: UK-Scotland-Shetland Islands: Sumburgh (EGPB) to Unst (EGPW) Shetland Coat of arms: Background: This is our final Scotland trip and upon conclusion we will have covered the entire county of Scotland that being: the country on the mainline island of the UK, to the Inner and Outer Hebrides Isles in the west, to the Orkney Islands in the North and finally in this trip we discover the northernmost part of Scotland, (and of the entire UK), Shetland. Shetland, also called the Shetland Islands, is an archipelago in Scotland lying between Orkney, the Faroe Islands, and Norway. It is the northernmost region of the United Kingdom. The islands lie about 50 miles (80 kilometres) to the northeast of Orkney, 110 mi (170 km) from mainland Scotland and 140 mi (220 km) west of Norway. They form part of the border between the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the North Sea to the east. Their total area is 566 sq mi), and the population totaled 23,020 in 2022. The islands comprise the Shetland constituency of the Scottish Parliament. The local authority, the Shetland Islands Council, is one of the 32 council areas of Scotland. The islands' administrative centre, largest settlement and only burgh and the capital of Shetland is Lerwick. The archipelago has an oceanic climate, complex geology, rugged coastline, and many low, rolling hills. The largest island, known as "the Mainland", has an area of 373 sq mi and is the fifth-largest island in the British Isles. It is one of 16 inhabited islands in Shetland. Humans have lived in Shetland since the Mesolithic period. Picts are known to have been the original inhabitants of the islands, before the Norse conquest and subsequent colonization in the Early Middle Ages. During the 10th to 15th centuries, the islands formed part of the Kingdom of Norway until they were annexed into the Kingdom of Scotland due to a royal dispute involving the payment of a dowry. The discovery of North Sea oil in the 1970s significantly boosted Shetland's economy, employment and public-sector revenues. Fishing has always been an important part of the islands' economy. The local way of life reflects the Norse heritage of the isles, including the Up Helly Aa fire festivals and a strong musical tradition, especially the traditional fiddle style. Almost all place names in the islands have Norse origin. The islands have produced a variety of prose writers and poets, who have often written in the distinctive Shetland dialect of the Scots language. Many areas on the islands have been set aside to protect the local fauna and flora, including a number of important seabird nesting sites. The Shetland pony and Shetland Sheepdog are two well-known Shetland animal breeds. In this final trip we won’t exactly fly from where we concluded last trip: We ended last trip at North Ronaldsay which is the northernmost Island in the Orkney Islands but now we skip the large water expanse of the North Sea called The Fair Isle Channel or The Fair Isle Gap which separates the Orkney Islands from the Shetland Islands. This will save our bi-planes 59 nm flying over open water so we’ll skip Fair Island and start our flight at Sumburgh airport EGPB and we’ll continue to head northward “to the top” of Scotland and the UK in the Northern Isles. Again, in this trip, we will explore some of the various points of interest and ancient locations. Our Excursion: Welcome to the Shetland Islands! We depart Sumburgh and take flight weaving around Sumburgh Head, which is the southern tip of the mainland of Shetland. After the WU17 UK update, Sumburgh is a handcrafted MSFS default airport. (1.4gb). Beside the airport is “Old Scatness” which is an archeological site in the parish of Dunrossness in the south end of Mainland, Shetland, near Sumburgh Airport and consists of medieval, Viking, Pictish, and Iron Age remains. After takeoff Sumburgh we head northwest and start our zig zap through some of the various islands and their attractions, from lighthouses to marina’s, piers, ferry wharfs, local businesses and perhaps some different broch* locations as well as other points of interest before landing at Tingwall Airport (EGET). By the way, before we continue, you might ask “what is a broch?” Well, a broch (Scottish roots) are prehistoric circular stone towers found on the Orkney and Shetland Islands and the Scottish mainland and usually consisting of double walls enclosing small apartments about a central court. Hopefully we can see a couple during the trip. Ok, moving on... we depart Tingwall and head due west to the Island of Foula. Just a small island but it has an airfield (EGZR). Departing Foula, we head 15 nm north over the Foula Sheland Ferry Terminal and Huxter Ancient Water Mills before landing on another small island: Papa Stour Island which also has an airport (EGZT). From Papa Stour we zig zag to see the poi in the area and northeast to Scatsta (EGPM) which is a private airport on the island of Unst. This airport serves the offshore oil and gas industry. It is 8.0 km southwest of Sullom Voe Oil Terminal and 39 km north-northwest of Lerwick which we will visit. From Scatsta (EGPM) we’ll head due east visiting a very small island airport: halsay (EDEH) and on the way we’ll hopefully see the very ancient Standing Stones of Yoxie which were excavated in 1954/1955 and now thought to me similar in layout to stone sites in Malta and Gozo. From Whalsay we head northeast to a small cluster of islands referred to as the Out Skerries. An airport exists here (EG78) and this location is the easternmost point of Scotland. In WU17, (Asobo created a handcrafted airport and surroundings for Out Skerries EG78 airport.) From Out Skerries we head westward to the west side of the Shetlands then zig zag again to visit many poi’s from lighthouses to the Sullom Voe Oil/Gas Terminal then finally landing on Fetlar Island at Fetlar Airport (FEA). From Fetlar Airport we head northward to the top!: to the northernmost point of Scotland and of the entire UK: that is the northern tip of Unst Island: the top of the Shetland Islands, then we turn south and flyby Saxa Vord Radar Station, (RRH Saxa Vord), Shetland Space Centre (SaxaVord Spaceport), Valhalla Brewery and crossing the Balta Sound before we land at our final airport Unst (EGPW). We have made it: The entire county of Scotland covered! This trip is 211nm with eight stopovers and our destination stop at Unst. This is another “low and slow expedition” but not quite. We have 211 nm to cover with 8 stops so we will have to keep up our pace and we won’t have too much time for doddling if we want to reach our destination on-time! This is the last Scotland trip and there is a lot to cover.

Scotland Tigers-8: UK-Scotland-Orkney Islands: Wick (EGPC) to North Ronaldsay (EGEN) There are only two more Scotland trips remaining before we have covered the entire county of Scotland in this series. This second to last excursion covers the Orkney Islands. Orkney also known as the Orkney Islands or, the often deprecated, Orkneys, is an archipelago off the north coast of Scotland. Part of the Northern Isles along with Shetland, Orkney is 10 miles (16 km) north of Caithness and has about 70 islands, of which 20 are inhabited. The largest island, the Mainland, has an area of 523 square kilometers (202 sq mi), making it the sixth-largest Scottish island and the tenth-largest island in the British Isles. Orkney's largest settlement, and also its administrative center, is Kirkwall. The 'Heart of Neolithic Orkney' is a group of 5,000-year-old sites on Mainland, the largest island including Skara Brae, a preserved village with a reconstructed house, and Maeshowe, a chambered burial tomb incorporating 12th-century Viking carvings. The Northern Islands possess a vibrant Viking Heritage and influence. We will explore these islands which encompass many Neolithic sites, and even Mesolithic treasures. The Orkneys contain ancient archaeological site, from tall sea stacks along the west coast of Hoy to the circle and henge at Brodgar and the vaulting stones at Stenness, plus the incomparable burial cairn of Maeshowe. Those are just the best-known sites, with myriad more to explore, where a treasure hundreds of years even older than anything on Orkney’s mainland awaits. The Knap of Howar on Papa Westray offers a unique chance to peer into life almost 6,000 years ago! ‘Orkney imagination is haunted by time’. It’s where ‘hills tell old stories’ and ‘cliffs are poets with harps.’ In this trip we fly from the town of Wick (EGPC) which is on the Scotland UK mainland and head northward to the Northern Isles of Orkney to explore some of the points of interest and ancient locations. In reality, for others on the mainland, getting to the Northern Isles is all part of the fun with NorthLink Ferries. Forging out from the mainland and seeing the dolphins that often leap around just outside on a journey to another world bound for Kirkwall in Orkney. And it is no ordinary journey as you can quaff a gorgeous pint of local ale, and dine on Northern Isles produce. Or take a scenic sailing between Caithness in the north of Scotland, and Stromness in Orkney. Time it right, and you’ll see the setting sun turning the sandstone cliffs of Hoy, and the famous landmark, the Old Man of Hoy, a flaming red! Our Excursion: We depart Wick (EGPC) and head north passing Keiss Village, Duncansby Stacks and John o’ Groats Village and Ferry terminal before leaving the mainland. We cross northward over the Pentland Firth and we are in the Orkney Islands. We’ll pass over the small island of Stroma to Longhope Ferry Terminal and Museum on the island of Brims to our first stop on Flotta Island: Flotta Isle Airport EGZQ. From Flotta we will head east across the island of South Ronaldsay to land on Burray Island at Land Holm Airfield EGKF and along the way we’ll pass two lighthouses and Barns of Ayre Wind Farm. From Land Holm airfield we will, more or less, zigzag through the Islands of Hoy, Graemsay and Mainland to view the historical attractions and other poi before landing at Kirkwall Airport EGPA, Kirkwall is the administrative center of the Northern Isles. From Kirkwall we’ll head north and cover the north side of Mainland, Rousay Islands then continue to Eday Island and land at the Eday airport (EGED). From Eday we head east to Sanday Airport (EGES) on the island of Sanday. From Sanday we head northwest to Westray and Papa Westray Islands. Both small islands have their own airports, so plan for so we’ll plan for full stop at Westray (EGEW) and perhaps just a Touch n’ Go at Papa Westray (EGEP) before continuing our way east to North Ronaldsay (EGEN). This trip is 235 nm with eight landings: Departing Wick (EGPC) to: Flotta Isle Airport (EGZQ), Lamb Holm Airfield (EGKF), Kirkwall Airport (EGPA), Stronsay (EGER), Eday (EGED), Sanday (EGES), Westray (EGEW), Papa Westray (EGEP) (touch and Go) and to our final stop at North Ronaldsay (EGEN). This is another “low and slow expedition” using our favourite bi-plane! We won’t have too much time for doddling if we want to reach our destination in the bi-planes. Time permitting; we’ll make our destination but no worries as there will definitely be a final part nine of the Scotland Tigers to cover the Shetland Islands and finally reaching our ultimate destination of the Scotland tour at Unst, Scotland.
