Where is the FS.EXE located?

I recommend this app, Everything, which will find a specific file anywhere on your computer: https://www.voidtools.com/ -
VoxATC in beta - Performance demonstration

xEnviro Weather Engine
jabloomf1230 replied to Flying-Hare's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I have both REX WeatherForce and xEnviro. I'd rank them out of 10 (with 10 being the best). I considered cloud types generated and faithfulness to METAR data. xEnvrio 7 REX WF 6 Default MSFS live weather 3 Let's hope that MS's contract with Meteoblue is not extended for MSFS 2024 and that MS opens up the weather API to 3rd party developers. I have a feeling that Active Sky could beat the present mix. -
Change to MSFS Logo
jabloomf1230 replied to David Mills's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
This was done because the app is commonly referred to as MSFS, not Microsoft Flight Simulator. -
Could the default ATC get worse?

Frame generation for all RTX cards

Expected 2/2 as part of a Cyberpower PC system. -

Same here. The mod has too many glitches, so I ordered an RTX 4080 super. -

If you want control over your yokes, throttles, rudders etc., FSUIPC is a better option than MSFS's native settings.

"useless" jetways for ai - would GSX help?
jabloomf1230 replied to Nemo's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Only AI aircraft that are created by the default MSFS ATC will mate with jetways. Any app that creates non-ATC AI aircraft will not. If it's any consolation, the VOXATC beta for MSFS can use AIG and have the jetways work correctly with AI aircraft. I think that one can still apply for the closed beta at the VOXATC Discord site. The best option, though is to wait for the official release of VOXATC for MSFS. -
The FS market has expanded so much since MSFS was released that I doubt that the Navigraph survey results will be representative. The Navigraph survey tends to reach serious users rather than casual simmers. The MSFS market isn't 1000x times bigger, that's just hyperbole, but I'd bet that it's 90% of the installed base.

I think that the taxiway naming scheme is highly dependent on what airport you are talking about. Many of the bigger US MSFS stock airports have taxiways named correctly. When it comes to taxiway network glitches, that's another story altogether. Most of the taxiway geometry is correct, but every so often a taxiway is isolated because it is incorrectly connected to a vehicle path. And gate numbering is haphazard also. Of course, there are no airline codes for MSFS gate parking spots for the stock airports. In any case, the data source dictates whether gates and taxiways are true to the real world airport. Asobo and Blackshark AI couldn't do anything about either missing or incorrect data. 3rd party ATC apps can only work with the airport data that's available. VOXATC isn't any different in that regard. If your local MSFS stock airport has mistakes, your best option is to search for a version in flightsim.to, etc. that is correct. What I do for airports that I fly to to on a regular basis is to create a whole new airport in MSFS developer mode that inherits everything from the stock MSFS airport. Then I fix the taxiways, gates and add airline codes. It's not so bad, once you try doing it.
