    I reported a problem yesterday that Live Weather was not injecting any clouds or rain as depicted on my METAR but it was injecting QNH (baro pressure) and Winds.

    Done a bit more investigating and have cleaned out my Communites folder and just tried to set the weather (NOT LIVE WEATHER - JUST CUSTOM) to Storm or Rain or Overcast.  No clouds or rain being injected for any options.

    I'm at a loss - any ideas?

    This new version is a complete disaster.  Please revert back to prior version.

    One key feature seems to have gone and that's Mark Downloads as Read, so that I only see what's new since that last time I Marked them as Read.  This is MUST be reinstated!!!!

    I'm a Premium user - but I'll not be renewing until this mess is sorted out!!!!

    Check this thread and see if it applies to you: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/marketplace-purchase-requires-u-s-account/384731/6

    The MSFS marketplace requires the region you set in Windows, to be the same as where you are paying from. Yeah, I know it's weird, that you have to change a settings in Windows, just to make a purchase in the MSFS marketplace.

    You were absolutely right.  I upgraded to Windows 11 a few months back and somehow my region got set to USA.  Reset it to the UK and the purchase worked fine.  As you say - weird!!

    Thanks

    Hi

    I'm trying to buy the ATR but MSFS seems to think I live in the USA - I live in the UK. 

    Selected the Download and Buy option.

    Asks for my Windows Authentication PIN which I entered - why is that needed??

    Selected Pay by Credit Card and entered my card details

    It then asks for my address, but will only allow United States as the Country and asks for State (all US States) and ZIP code.

    So can't get any further.

    I've bought from the Marketplace before without any issues.

    Anyone seen this before and how did you fix it.

    Nice mini update.

    Work on N953HB as well... and here's interior lighting options.  All lights are dimmable. You have instrument lighting, avionics backlighting, EL (the orange-ish glow on the labels on the lower panel), and flood (the green tint).   And thanks for the headsup on the OAT lamp (forgot to turn it on in this pic)

    Ryan, these look brilliant.  Is there a location where you share these to the community - don't seem to be on Flightsim.to?

    PSXT with RealTraffic achieves all but the models requirement. Of course, it has a fee, but the non-erratic behavior and correct patterns make a world of difference. You can choose to use AIG or FSLTL models or both. So, updating those models becomes the only part that isn't set and forget.

    Totally agree, PSXT with RealTraffic is excellent.  Don't know what RealTraffic's data source is, but it appears to be better than FlightRadar24 - what you see is actually what's happening at the airport and in the cruise in real time (with a slight delay).  RealTraffic is a tad expensive, I imagine that's because they have to pay for the source of the real time data feed.  Models are great, from FSLTL and AIG.

    If you are using the latest version of the TDS GTN 750 (1.0.2.2) and don't get the problem solved here, you might want to seek help on the TDS forum at http://forum.tdssim.com/forum-2.html where the GTNXi developer is very helpful.

    Al

    Thanks

    Reported it as you suggested and got a prompt reply from the developer - excellent service!!  Needed to set up an exception in my AVG Antivirus and that fixed it.

    Folks

    My GTNXi has been working fine since I installed it a few month ago.  However, today I bit the bullet and upgraded to Windows 11😬  Everything in MSFS seems to be working fine except TDS GTNXi.  I use it in the Black Square Kingair and Milviz C310.  Both have blank screens.   Strange thing is that the Offline (ie without MSFS running) TDS GTNXi works ok.

    I've tried reinstalling both TDS and the Garmin Trainer - no joy.

    I don't have the WT GNS 530 installed which I know can give some conflicts.

    Any ideas?

    Folks

    I'm new to PSXT for MSFS and I've followed the videos to install V.33.2.1. 

    I have both FSLTL Base liveries and AIG AI Traffic liveries in my community folder.

    Ran PSXT and it gives Error 50: No Liveries Found.

    Tried typing in my correct path to IPP: and get the same error, plus it reverts to:  C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages

    I'm probably doing something stupid - but I can't figure out what.

    Please help

    Are you sure they are lost and that the game has not just reverted to some other keyboard & joystick profile?

    Check the settings and scroll through the profiles. This happened to me once. I thought I had lost it all but saw that the game had preselected "Default Profile" when in fact mine were saved in "Keyboard Profile 1"


    Sidenote
    Is there a config file we can backup anyway to guard against total loss? I agree with the OP that when this does happen its a real pain in the behind to config it all again.

    You were absolutely right.  I managed to stumble upon this when I was troubleshooting.  Thanks

    Folks

    Bizarre thing has just happened.  Started up MSFS and it commenced taking me through setup screens - for graphics, assistance etc etc.  Decided to close it down and restart the PC.  Same thing.  This time I went through it and chose to customise each of the settings to the best of my memory.  Got through all that and it eventually started, but all my keyboard settings, mouse setting and joystick settings are gone!  All my camera views are all gone too!!

    Plus the damned music is playing.  This has never happened before and been with MSFS from day one.

    Any ideas - please help
