I have been watching and reading this thread with interest. I now see that a mod has presently undertaken to remove comments/posts that do not provide evidence to a claim and/or make unproven accusations. I find this somewhat ironic because, as far as I can see, this complete thread is wholly and entirely based on claims without evidence and unproven assertations.

@anilcougar Very quiet here of late ???🤷‍♂️

It is a photovoltic sensor, just like on the PFD/ND to control brightness based on ambient light.

It's not particularly surprising. PMDG is a business, and like any business, its primary focus is on growing sales and maintaining profitability. It's therefore reasonable to expect that many of its decisions will be guided by commercial considerations, alongside the needs of its customers.

I used the old screenshot in the post above. I have un/re/installed V1.1.7 many times and while it may offer a temporary "workaround", the bug is STILL present. This is also borne out by many posters on your Discord group reporting the same issue.

Hi @anilcougar , this "Please log in on the launcher app first" lark is getting tiresome at this stage [img] This is on the latest version 1.1.7 .😞

Sorry to report it was on version 1.1.6

Hi @anilcougar , Why am I seeing this, despite running launcher and logging in (again) and also manually starting simpassengers-bridge ( just in case that was the problem) ? [img] EDIT:- A full un/install sorted it, but doesn't explain why it happened. However back working now.

These voices are still going to default folder on launcher startup. V1.1.4 was uninstalled before installation of V1.1.5

@anilcougar No update yesterday? No beta DM'd as promised?

Mods Please delete.

Hmm....Not too sure if this is working the way I expected it to ?

No update today ?

Ah right, that makes sense Anil. No, leave the reserved voices/audio where they are, please. Giving the option to store the D/L'd ones where the user wants them would be good. Cheers.

Not to worry, however am I correct in thinking that the voices and audio etc. is now saved in two places? Namely :- "C:\Users\%name%\AppData\Local\ACE Solutions\" and also Wherever:\"SimPassengers\resources\"

Hi Anil, Unless I'm missing something, it appears you didn't get around to adding this option to V1.1.3 ?

Well, what can I say?? There's service for you! Brilliant, thank you. ❤️👍

Hi, @anilcougar , Any way to save the voices within the main installation folder of SP rather than defaulting to the C: drive, please? I have SP installed on my D: drive, however as you know the D/L'd voices are saved on the C: drive.

Any chance you might share how, please?

So very sorry to hear this. 😥 No need whatsoever to apologise, family and friends come first. Take your time and take care. May he/she rest in peace.

While I appreciate that you never explicitly stated that virtual passengers are rendered, I feel it could be seen as slightly misleading to feature them in your launch video. Perhaps it would be better to make it clearer that GSX is being used in the footage? BTW: On a totally different point, I fondly remember the many hours of enjoyment I got from "Ace of Aces" on my trusty C64 back in the 80's.👍👍

SimPassengers Video But does it render them outside the aircraft (as per your video in your Op) ? The reason I'm asking is that I bought it yesterday but am not seeing any virtual passengers. See the video still linked above, please.

Will I actually see virtual passengers with this addon or is it only audio from 'passengers' ?

Can anyone explain to me, why PMDG, in their infinite wisdom, retail the 800 at $74.99 and the 900 is 33% cheaper at $49.99, please? TIA.

Make sure there are NO firewall settings impeding MSFS2024 and also remove ALL virus protections from scanning directories pertaining to MSFS2024.
