Everything OK now after using your tool, I was really getting crazy with this! Only remaining nuisance is the EFB that comes on the screen each time I press Shift+C, but what I care about is getting in the cockpit and it now works again. I could not find any duplication of command with Shift+C for the EFB, strange but I can live with that. Many thanks for your help Bill.

Thanks Bill, I will try that this evening.

As per title, in MSFS 2024, my keyboard settings are on MSFS 2024, and usually when starting a flight, I would get the starting screen with "Shift+C" at the bottom of the screen. Now I have nothing and I cannot get into the plane, I find myself looking at the back of the "captain" on the tarmac who perhaps would want to walk around but does not move at all regardless of my commands. Even starting the flight on the runway does not help, I get a bizarre view looking at the back seats instead of the panel. Any idea, suggestion would be welcome, after spending two hours on this, I am a bit restless and confused.

No the Content.xml is there indeed as indicated by Nuno, I cannot overemphasize how easy such a "clean-up" is with Addon-Linker (see Bad-T posts above) instead of dangerously messing around with your Content.xml file, even if you don't want to use AL afterwards, it will be a welcome help for this task alone.

What about the dream? When you "sim" don't you ever dream (or play, it's a game) about flying an aircraft you never piloted in real life, visiting a country you have never been to before and eventually will never visit, etc, etc... Each one of us find in this hobby an element of dream: some are happy to limit themselves to the cockpit box and they are welcome to do so, some to the cockpit and the cabin, some walk around their plane, knowing fully well that it does not serve any useful purpose, but will do it as in real life anyway, some will enjoy a detailed African safari lodge replica with animals roaming around... including on the dirt runway. The list could go on for pages, what this tells us is that this splendid simulator product caters to more than one or two categories of players, from veteran airline pilots - who will practice what they would not dream of in their real aircraft - to "desk chair" pilots who can only dream that their hobby brings them a space of total freedom that they may never experience in real life. In my previous life, I spent countless hours in airports as a pilot or passenger, yet I am always thrilled to "re-visit" virtually an airport I have been to including the concourse or waiting rooms, stupid? No, simply day dreaming thirty years back in time. We can't demand an "off" button for each of our numerous selfish desires: No turbulence, no GPS, no airport pizzeria, no night reflection on the lateral windows, no cabin, etc, etc. Is MSFS 2024 as real as it gets (yet) or not? Lastly, I remember having read on this very forum on numerous occasion that whatever is not rendered on your screen will not overload your system (i.e. reduce FPS), is that a fact or not (qualified IT specialist please?)

You can try two things: In real world night flying, it is important to keep your instrument lighting as dim as possible at all times and the cockpit dark (something not easy today with all those cockpit screens), your eyes will adapt quickly to the outside/inside ambient darkness (you will be surprised of how dim you can go), secondly, (in flight sim only...!) I believe you can reduce the reflection quality in your settings, that should help hopefully.

You know this reproduces the effect in the real aircraft cockpit, right? Perhaps if there is a fix for MSFS 2024, the same could be offered to the real world ATR aircraft builders too... Professional pilots would certainly appreciate it.🙂

I can't have an opinion on the A2A planes since none of their released products attracts me at all, so I can only agree with all those who expressed their positive views regarding the Black Square planes, many of which I flew in real life ages ago - without GPS mind you - and this is another reason for me to thank the developer for having gone to the extend of including the Bendix KNS-81 RNAV equipment, that certainly requires more work and braincells than loading a Simbrief FP into the TDS, a much welcome exercise when you need to "brainstorm" more often to keep that grey matter active and alive...! Jokes apart, never had we in the past any simulated GA aircraft with that amount of details and attention to the proper operational procedures. Kudos indeed to Nick, I am looking forward to the Commander 114, another of my real life GA love with a lot of stick time in Europe, some ... hmmm... fifty years ago! Blast, did I write that?

As easy as cut and paste on Flightsim.to... Flightsim.toFStarter24 V4 - MSFS Add-on - Flightsim.to✓ For Microsoft Flight Simulator: FStarter24 V2 is a comprehensive multi-tool designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, offering a range of features to enhance the flight experience. User

Enroute to Bali on my MD11, weather is correctly depicted since take-off from Singapore.

In 2020 yes, in 2024 I have yet to see it working correctly, but the ship routes are managed by AIG TC as well. This is an agreement between AIG and GAIST.

As indicated above more than 3000 flights, that is much more than any other AI traffic software, so in some areas at certain times it can indeed get very busy!

It is surprising to see how little support AIG gets in this thread at a time FSTL lost its FR24 partnership, it would sound like the logical real free alternative offering choices that no other free AI traffic software can match. It is true that AIG was - at first when released - lengthy and cumbersome to download and install, but the team has made great improvements in the past two years. Whilst it is still not 100% perfect, we should remember that, like FBW, it is manned by volunteers dedicating their time to make this the best AI traffic solution there is. Among the benefits: Over 300 simobjects Close to 3000 flightplans (if you install all of them - but you don't have to) Ground service equipment at every airport (35% max so as to avoid loading too much your sim) GA traffic Integration of GAIST traffic Flights are on time with real world schedules, regardless of the hour you start flying, in other word, if you start a morning flight (real world) in the evening (your free time), you will see real traffic in the morning Flightplans are updated regularly and are super easy to automatically update, but you don't need to if you don't want... As mentioned above, you don't have to download and install everything if you don't want to, but frankly, once the initial job is done, the results are so convincing that you will never look back.

No pun intended naturally...

That sounds very much like a control binding problem, did you check them to ensure you have no conflict between your mouse and yoke controls? There are a number of videos to help you for that like this one:

???? Animals?

Not to worry Rob, it's work in progress, they will surely react to your comment and correct that😹

I would vote without any hesitation for the Jetstream Design product for its high fidelity reproduction. I own a few AmSim sceneries and they do not match in details and rendition what Jetstream makes, don't forget they are associated to Flightbeam, both of them probably the best airport designers on the market presently.

Do you mean you can't load your flight plan in MSFS 2020 or in the TDS GTN? If you have saved your Simbrief flight plan in MSFS 2020 using the Simbrief downloader (easiest way), here is a video to help you: If your problem is to find your Simbrief flight plan in the TDS GTN, here is another video:

That is one characteristic of the MD11, if you taxi too fast, you will have a hard time with the steering of your nose wheel. There are a couple of videos showing this. I guess after you landed you did not decelerate enough to use your steering (max 10/12 knots) and your plane continued to move forward with your nose wheel perpendicular to the runway... Have your front wheels pneumatics checked, they might have to be changed!

Not sure if this is my lack of comprehension of your wording "added through AL" but did you activate all your sceneries with AL before running Dave's App? If not, this would explain why they were not detected.

Usually my own question is "which aircraft will teach me something different", that obviously eliminate a number of Boeing and Airbus, and I often end-up with the GA option, so Starship is my answer, you will certainly learn something from that plane! If you want to stick to tubes, then the TFDi MD11 is your answer unless you prefer real old school, wait for the A300 from JustFlight, you won't be disappointed.

Multi Crew Experience gets rarely mentioned even though it covers all what you mentioned and way beyond! Co-pilot can work the flows as you wish, execute specific commands and handle ATC, you can interact with ATC, cabin and ground crews, all this through voice recognition. There is a free trial version available and most complex add-ons are covered. I have been flying with it since release. They have a very helpful support on AVSIM and are open for suggestion.

I was quite anxious to - at long last - tick that box in the Hardware section I use with my sim: Seatbelt May I also suggest to include next year oxygen mask?

This is the best advice @RobJC, never try to count the seconds if you have not previously used the EFB, visually you need to see (1) the oil (in brown) having gone around the whole engine circuit, (2) the fuel (in blue) to reach the top portion of the spark plugs (but not beyond), then having followed @tttocs recommendations above, you should not have a problem.
