BN-2 Islander for XP12
SmokeDiddy replied to SmokeDiddy's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
Hmmmmm...according to the x forums, the BN-2s were on the roadmap for XP-12. Of course, if you're speaking of a "free" upgrade for XP-11 owners, that I haven't heard. -
BN-2 Islander for XP12
SmokeDiddy replied to SmokeDiddy's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
I do own the Nimbus BN-2 for XP-11 and quite like it, but I am at work currently. I will download the updated version later to see how it goes in XP-12. I was hoping Thranda would post a video, but haven't seen one yet. Maybe soon... I also own both variants of the TorqueSim BN-2s. I think they're working on the XP-12 updates, but not alot of news coming out. -
I see Thranda released their rendition of the BN-2 for X-Plane 12 today, then Nimbus has updated their version. Has anyone tried either of them? It looks like if you own the Nimbus for XP-11, you'll get the upgrade to XP-12 version for free.

I can confirm I see this as well. -
Carenado to address older bugs/issues
SmokeDiddy replied to ryanbatc's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Since Carenado is selling through the MS store, wouldn't it seem plausible that MS would insist/require bug fixes come at intervals to maintain the store contract? Time will tell, but I think if Carenado survives the MS store, then I'm sure certain requirements must be met. I don't see the Carenado products being study level, but I truly believe for the systems they employ in their products, they will have to meet their obligations in order to sell their craft. -
Try using a VPN to allow you to connect to a different server. I live in Southeast US and the default server is trash...it always hangs during downloads. I connected with a VPN and it gave me an IP address in the northeast and everything downloaded and installed without a hitch.

I'm so exhausted of this sim
SmokeDiddy replied to styckx's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I cannot say my time with MSFS has been trouble free; however, it's never failed to update and I have only the rare CTD...usually due to add-on(s). On the other hand, in the early days, I was having an issue when downloading updates. The updates would hang. I even logged tickets with Zendesk and even talked to them and they could never figure it out. Then, I read somewhere that not all the distro servers were 100% reliable. Someone mentioned using VPN as a way to set your IP address to a different location. I did this and boom, the updates came in quickly and without issues. I cannot speak to anyone having issues with where you have the sim installed, but definitely, if you're having download issues, try a VPN to see if it helps. Meanwhile, my biggest gripe still is melted buildings. I figure it is due to my limited bandwidth, but can also be other things contributing to this, so I fly mostly in remote/rural areas until I can get better service and living in a rural area is like living in a time capsule - nothing moves very fast. Good luck! -
Speedboat for MSFS on simmarket!
SmokeDiddy replied to saifs's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I will buy this if it can simulate a typical fishing outing, where I whip out my pp to take a leak after all the beers I drink and the wind blows it back onto my fishing partner. That would encompass all the aspects of a spectacular water sport environment. -

Yeah, this pretty much answers the question of whether msfs2020 is a game or a sim...case dismissed! -
Error when starting XP11
SmokeDiddy replied to SmokeDiddy's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
I finally got the error message cleared. I had to rebuild the resource folder - well I probably didn't have to, but I did anyway. Thanks for the tip! Merry Christmas! -

SmokeDiddy replied to SmokeDiddy's topic in The X-Plane General Discussions Forum
Sorry for the text file, it is a download link...I will try what you indicated above. I tried to add another link to the log file, but it doesn't seem to want to do it now. Anyways, thanks for the tip! -
I'm getting the following error, but I'm not sure what to do to resolve it. I have looked at my log file and deleted the files it says are in error, then updating XP, but it still doesn't resolve. Below is a link to my log file: Log.txt Thanks for the advice.

So the consensus is SU6 was a good patch?
SmokeDiddy replied to abrams_tank's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
I can fly from Point A to Point B, so yeah, it's a good patch; although, I try not to open my eyes to see broke things.
