Haven't seen this mentioned so forgive if I missed it. Recently I have had performance issues, including flickering screens in both MFS2020 and MFS2024 when they were in focus. Luckily the flickering went away in VR. After removing the windows update, flickering has gone and performance is back. The culprit is update KB5074109 . https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/yet-another-windows-update-is-wreaking-havoc-on-gaming-rigs-worldwide-nvidia-recommends-uninstalling-windows-11-kb5074109-january-update-to-prevent-framerate-drops-and-artifacting

Not obvious from this thread but City Update 13 : California is also available for MFS2020

Sorry, I haven't watched the video so not sure if this is applicable but I have had similar occasional issues with MFS2020 when using third party pushback tools that I couldn't taxi after pushback. Sometime you also need to "contact" the built-in ATC ground to release the tug.

Everytime I tried DX11 and got "locked out" , changing the PreferD3D12 back to 1 in the config file always got me back in. I'm stumped why it's not working for you.

It's been like this for a while now. No fix in sight. I also have 4090 so not sure it's related or not , others will tell. Also go into your UserCfg.opt file and do the following : Change PreferD3D12 0 to PreferD3D12 1 and you should be able to get back in.

For those interested there is a set of resized FSLTL textures available on flightsim.to. https://flightsim.to/file/91493/downgrade-textures-for-fsltl-fps-booster

@Cpt_Piett Hopefully the fix will sort it out for you. I did a bunch of driver and app uninstalls and re installs before I stumbled on the fix. I should have posted but glad you got the information out to help others.

I had this error yesterday. The workaround you linked fixed it for me

You found the Aeroflot career mode ?

Thanks! Hidden in plain sight

Interested in maybe getting a license to explore the other map options but can't find any pricing even thru the license link in the tool. Slightly related, with all the world updates to mfs2020, are there any meshes still worth getting

The twist axis on this stick can go bad and get very noisy due to a cabling issue internal to the joystick. I went through 2 sticks before I gave up and bought some pedals and disabled the stick twist axis.

For those that like a continuous set of legs to fly. I posted this a while ago in a different thread. My current favorite is https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/random-flight-generator/270848 This will generate multi-leg flights in a sequence, ie A to B , B to C, C to D..... up to 10 legs with various options. I believe pretty much every airport in the world is contained in the accompanying data base file, airports.adb. This file is built from the spreadsheet file airports.csv which can be opened and viewed. What I've found is that if you delete the database file, the program will generate a new one from the spreadsheet file. You can therefore create a new airports.csv file, after backing up the original, and copy and paste only those airports you are interested in into the new file. Pretty sweet. Ed
