Overt nastiness on a forum is often a form of attention-seeking 😉

Maybe I'll finally pick up the DC-6. Can anyone advise how it's running in MSFS 2024 these days?

It's a slow burner, where the aircraft itself may not be super exciting, but all the little quality touches add up and equal a super experience. 😎 Did you check the failures page on the tablet to see if there were any failures that could have led to your loss of electrical power?

I was just about to say that I just noticed there's a version of ENZV on Simmarket, by Ironsim. How is that version?

^^ Do this first. Then, use this amazing utility that has saved my skin so many times. Especially when the caches were causing problems or MSFS would CTD:- https://flightsim.to/addon/105190/clearskies It will reset all your GPU caches and your MSFS Cache in one click. Note that the first load of MSFS after you've run this will take a while. After that it'll be faster than ever.

There are already a couple of good options for ENBR. I have 2 addons for it. Once ancient, one better. By Salvuz and RDPresets. For ENZV, there's no payware as far as I'm aware.

This is so needed! Stavangar is a gaping hole in my Norway addon airports. I have Bergen, Haugasund, Floro and all the Norwegian addon airports, and seeing the default Stavangar would make me cry! 😊

Yeah, understood. I did reflect that it was probably a benefit to VR users. Fair enough 👍

Thanks! @Sparkrite beat me to it. It's an ambient light sensor that attempts to ensure that the MCP displays remain readable it different levels of ambient light.

Gotcha! I can understand why clickspots may be preferred for VR users, to avoid using the keyboard.

What would the benefit of a click spot to get out of the aircraft be? (Genuine question). I understand clickspots for functional things with the plane (like door handles) but why would anyone need or want a click spot to get outside, rather than hitting Shift+C? ..again, just trying to understand if I'm missing something here. A clickspot to get in I understand a little more. I notice there's one in the A2A Aerostar, on the seat after you've opened the door. Although I still just tend to hit Shift+C, as that's what I'm used to doing in all other aircraft. EDIT: Ohh, is this a VR thing? To prevent using the keyboard?

Oh. Well, you just click Shift+C to get out once you've opened the door. Getting out of the plane by clicking the door handle is a default aircraft thing. The same that when you click handles from the outside, the door opens and it warps you inside. Most 3rd party devs overwrite this behaviour as it's annoying not being able to open or close a door without being warped in or out of the aircraft.

I'd be able to tell you, but as you've hosted with Imgur and not postimages, lots of us just get this when we click on your image:- Postimages is the easiest image hosting site to use. Just drag it in, then click to copy the direct link url. https://postimages.org/ Everyone can see images on Postimages. If you use imgur, no-one in the UK, Ireland and half of Europe can see your images.

There's a lever on top of the door, that you need to click first (to unlatch the door), then just click the door handle. You can reach both from the ground.

Click the bottom of the key ring.... BUT.... you must have turned the key fully to left first! I've been taking mine out since the first flight.... I don't want my new baby getting stolen! PS... impressive mastery of all of those old avionics!
