I am using Linux Mint on two desktops for more than 3 years. One on an old PC that outlived its usefulness as the main PC for P3D under W10 and the other one as a dual boot system (Linux Mint on a 1TB M2 SSD and W10 on a 2TB M2 SSD). On the weak PC I use a Thrustmaster T.16000 and Thrustmaster TCA and on the more modern PC also the Thrustmaster T.16000 and the Honeycom Bravo Throttle. On the W10 partition I have in addtion to XP12 also MSFS2020 installed. Have to admit that I hardly use the W10 partition 😔 All works well under Mint but to get the Honeycom Bravo Throttle working under Linux was a bit troublesome as Honeycom does not supprt Linux. The other components were easy.

I run XP12 on two PCs. The one in my 2nd home is my old PC (i7-6700K, 16GB RAM, GTX 1080) that I used before in my 1st home with W10 and P3D5. However I scrapped it because it was becoming too slow for me. So I installed Linux Mint and XP12 and use it with great satifaction in my 2nd home. I selected Linux Mint because it is said that Mint makes it easy for people coming from the Windows world like me. In my 1st home the PC is much newer (Ryzen 5900X, 32GB RAM, GTX 4070TI) and it used to be my W10 PC for P3D5 and MSFS2020. I installed a second M2 1TB and put Linux Mint at it together with XP12. On the old W10 partition there is now only XP12 and MSFS2020 installed. P3D5 was deleted by me. This gives me the opportunity to compare XP12 under Linux Mint and under W10, depending which OS I select when booting. Under Linux XP12 is much faster and smoother with the result that I virtually only use XP12 under Linux Mint, especially when flying online at IVAO or Vatsim. Only from time to time I change to XP12 under W10 but virtually only to keep that installtion up to date. On both XP12 installations (Mint and W10) here the following addons are installed. Toliss A321, A339 and FJS Q4XP, Better Pushpack, Simple Ground Equipent & Services, AutoDGS, AviTab, OpenGate and openSAM to mention the most used ones. Scenerywise the commercial addons for EGLL, EDDH, EDDS, EDDB as well as LSZH. All are working fine under W10 as well as Linux Mint.

Unfortunately it still did not fix the issue under Linux Mint that XP immediately crashes as soon as one tries to Login into your XP-account 😟

I now tried DGSI on my desktop at my 2nd home where I am presently am. There everything was fine until I noticed that I forgot to add the "simHeaven_X-World_Vegetation_Library/ ". So I was happy to find the culprit. To confirm this I added this library, restarted XP12 and to my surprise, the DGSI scenery was still fine and all was well. Apparently I was wrong and it had nothing to do with the buildings on the runway and apron. Looking at the file "scenery_packs.ini" I noticed that the entry for this vegetation library was added by XP12 as the first line. But even when placing it below the Simheaven entries it did not change the good behavior of this scenery. All this baffles me, why should it work on a quite old PC with an Intel CPU and not an a newer one with an AMD CPU? I will compare and play with two scenery_packs.ini file when I am back at my 1st home. PS Since I am not able to get WED working on my Linux systems I can not presently use this programme.

Sorry, I tried that too and it did not work. Tested it again right now in case I made a stupid mistake - with the same result.

Yes I know that just reloading scenery is not enough. Therefore I always restarted XP12 when testing a different scenery order. The result is always the same. I even deleted scenery_pack.ini and started XP12 to create a fresh copy. The result is the same, buildings on the runway and apron.

Any suggestion what else I could try?

Thats what I also thought at the beginning, so I did at lot of "shifting" the scenery order, also in a way that was not regarded as correct. It did not help. Only at DGSI but at no other African airport that I knew in rl I noticed such an error.

Ah well, I stopped using it when I noticed that buildings were put on the runway and apron at one of my favourite airports DGSI. I complained and sent screenshots a long time ago but it was not corrected.

Well, I have a relatively powerful PC with a Linux Mint partition with XP12 and a W10 partition. On that W10 partition the following sims are installed: MSFS2020, P3Dv5 and XP12. However, the last 12 months I virtually only used XP12 on the Linux partition to keep it and my addons updated and to fly online at VATSIM or IVAO. All the other sims on the W10 partion are only used to keep them and W10 uptodate. Apart from a few sceneries (EGLL, EDDB, LSZH) for XP12 and 3 airliners, all my other addons for XP12 are free of charge and their quality is often better than those quite expensive ones for P3Dv5 or MSFS2020. I am writing this to show which sim is for me the best.

As indirectly mentioned before I find the AS scenery much better and up to date as compared to the outdated FSDT scenery which I also own. GSX works fine with both sceneries. IMHO the only negative point with AS are the jetways which are still not moving. Just for record sake (since this is the P3D forum) - AES does not work with P3D at all.

I have both airports installed but after some testing and comparing only the Aerosoft version remains activated despite the fact, that the jetways do not work.

Are the engines running?

I fully endorse this especially as I hardly fly any GA and VFR but virtually only airliners under IFR. Before I plan the flight I have a look into http://webeye.ivao.aero/# for IVAO or vroute.info for VATSIM to see which ATCs are actually online so that I have full coverage. I simply can not stand that horrible "computer voices" of FSX or P3D which have the same accent no matter in which country one is flying in. Real human beings as ATC sitting on the other side are much more fun and much more realistic.

In other words it were not pirates that installed "things" without his knowledge or permission on his computer but rather Microsoft took the liberty to do this in order to protect their finances.

Why? Do you think that pirates have tampered with his PC?
