Probably too late to help you, but someone else might be looking. I see files in *FLIGHTSIMPATH*\LocalCache For many the flightsimpath is %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\

This is the closest thing that I am aware of. This is the closest thing that I am aware of.

Had an install issue. Found a helpful video. I'll save you the 10 minutes. Make sure to update at least the following. Windows, whos current version is 2004 & via the Microsoft Store app, the Xbox Bar. I suspect that it would be helpful to ensure graphics drivers are up to date as well.

Remember, this is in the pre-alpha stage. Still months and months away from release.

Oh no bruther. Multiplayer is the way to go. VATSIM is you're really into the ATC thing. msFlights.net & Eastern Hops are still active multiplayer communities. JOINFS provides multiplayer connectivity for multiple sims FSX and XPlane. Other options as well.

The Bombardier Challenger 300 is the best one that I've seen so far.

Les, Yes it will create flightplans for GA and military aircraft. Some of the GA models are cheesy, some aren't too bad at all. Are you familiar with ramp positions, groundroutes, and how they relate in World Traffic?

I really, really enjoyed FSC '17. I grew up outside Boston and enjoyed spending time an in area I haven't been back to in decades (Though I wouldn't want to live in such a crowded place). Those two factors made the decision for me. I knew if I went again I would include a NYC stop along the way. You see it is not about just going to the event. It is also about what to do in addition to the event as going is a big deal for most of us. Dallas is just a bigger version of Kansas City. Texas is just a bigger version of Kansas for the most part. Vegas on the other hand is quite different. After reading FSElite's write up of all this, it sounds like the event planners made two mistakes. They didn't listen to the customers and they tried to control the customers. The end outcome was all but written. See you in Vegas!

I am still waiting to ensure that this will be a quality event. If it is I will almost certainly be going. I have zero intentions of going to Dallas. Nothing wrong with Dallas it's just I went to FlightSimCon last year and there is nothing special about Dallas. At least with it being in CT there were additional things for me to do before the event (Boston, NYC, the ocean, etc....)

I know this query is nearly a year old now but I thought I'd respond. At msFlights.net one of our methods to connect is an FSD server. We are able to connect FSD to Xplane through use of a Proxy server. I think of it as kind of an translator between the two. Go to our site, www.msflights.net, and look at the instructions. We call it SimLink but it is FSD at the heart of it. It may work for you as well.

Starting with default aircraft as you are is definitely a good idea. In the box version clients should be able to connect to the host at the point of your screenshot (the briefing room). I can't say for sure that it is the exact same way in the Steam version though. Did you try clicking "fly now"? I usually find it preferable to make the connection between pilot and co-pilot once the pilot's aircraft is on the tarmac in the virtual world. Once a connection is established you will usually see an error message about gauges not being synced. Don't worry about that error message.

Looks great Roo!

Desk Pilot is a add on for PMDG products that provides that functionality. I'm sure most of you are already familiar with it but I thought I would mention in the event that you weren't. I don't wish to speak out of turn so I won't mention the developer but one of them is implementing a feature that will allow far more than 2 people to share an aircraft. It's not really shared "cockpit" as I think only the host and one client can access the aircraft controls while the other clients are along for the ride so to say. Imagine Tacpack, B-17's with all gunner positions manned, and a bunch of WWI fighters. Does anyone remember Air Warrior?

And the next cool thing about JoinFS. Three of us using the Avatar mode in P3D were able to be in the same aircraft. It wasn't perfect. Only the original owner of the aircraft could fly but it was still cool. Wonder how many we can cram into a Cessna? Our test group flight on Saturday went well with one exception. The link I provided to the voice program we use, Discord, was evidently broken. I have scheduled a second one for this Saturday the 22nd. We almost got to 20 with just our members. Perhaps if some others came by we could get to 40. For more information: http://msflights.net/forum/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=1734 (Sorry I know it's late for the European folks)

Al, You are correct. There is a reference to the folder in the FSX.CFG and not one in the Prepar3D.CFG. Cheers
