@BrianT, Did you ever get your Import Scripts to work? Was that option under Scripts grayed out, or were you able to select it? I'm having another senior moment and can't seem to get it un-greyed out. I had issues last Fall that I figured out, but it appears to be re-occurring, and I can't remember what I did to fix it it. 🙂 I've tried it with and without FS2020 running, but still nothing. My ports seem to be correct too. Trying to test out one of Guenseli new SD profiles. Rick I went back and found one of my original post. The solution is easy enough as Oliver provided the answer. I just didn't recall the solution. This is caused by fading memory and mine seems to be fading much to fast. 🙂

I use a 32" 4K screen (Microboard) for my primary cockpit display. I also use a 27" 4K screen (LG) for other add-ons I use like; Little Navmap(LNM), FSMCA, AirManager and other popped-out instruments. I had to adjust the scale on on the LG to 175% to get the text size I needed. More recently, I even selected another font for clearer text - especially in LNM. I use the 32" scaled down to 2K when running FS2020 and Global Rendering set to HIGH-END. I also use with V-SYNC off. This seems to be a good balance for my two screen sizes and still get 40+FPS.

Ah ha. Now I see the toolbar button. I should have looked closer. I was scouring the manual the other day, and couldn't find an example of those #s on the map. But I see it now. Thanks, Alex BTW, I've been using LNM for a while now for basic flight planning. There's so much to explore with it. Great piece of software.

I accidentally tried an option and now I've got multiple shaded gray numbers that look like a subscript number on the right. How to turn off? Are these related to the map grid?

Isn't it safe to say generally, that on the ground there are more objects - big and small - that require much more detail, hence more rendering. When you're high up in the air, you typically don't have a lot of different hard shapes and a lot of two colors; blue sky and white/gray clouds. Objects on earth are seen as little specks, hence less rendering required. Try flying over NYC and you'll likely see a drop in FPS - depending upon graphics card.

Has anyone been able to see an 'upgrade' notification for this product on SimMarket yet? I understand there is a $5.99 fee for those who bought FSReastic Core. I thought I read it's free, but an earlier email from suggest otherwise.

Thanks. Funny, I haven’t ever seen it widely used. Gaming industry? In fact, I’ve never seen it used before. I don’t get out much. 🙂 I wanted to make sure it wasn’t another aviation acronym that I’m unaware of that is relevant to the industry.

What does DLC stand for?

I really don't have any preference. If it's nice and sunny, I'll fly just about anywhere to explore. Especially within a 100 mile radius of home. I'll take a night flight every once in awhile, to a location I'm familiar with, just to test my skills of landing at night. I even like to fly in storms. Mainly to experience the atmospheric conditions on the plane, especially with real gusty winds. The plane will definitely, jerk and get pushed around. I'm on east coast, but I like to create flight plans for areas I'm not so familiar with. For instance, I like to fly around the massive amount of islands in the upper northwest. From Seattle to Anchorage. Many times I'll select a float plane so I can land and visually cruise around on the water. There are many little airports (landing strips) as well. And there's just about any flavor of weather up there too.

I can relate to your journey. Mine mirrors yours in many ways. I think my first edition was 98, can't recall. I played off and on throughout the late 90's. bought just about ever version up to FSX. I did play a lot, and really never took it to any level higher than just jumping in a plane, cruising around, and trying to land safely. My favorite add-on plane was the Douglas DC-3, R4D-6 by Bill RamBow and Roy Chafen. It came on the scene for FS2002. Not sure what's happening today with them, but I understand they had a falling out over some copyright issues, and then in early 2010s, Roy had a stroke and was unable to continue, and the legal affairs kept mounting. Not sure how it all turned out. For it's time, related to the level of PC graphics, the detail (done by Roy) was exquisite. It was the best. Of course today's graphics capabilities have reached unbelievable realism and so the journey continues. I picked up the premium edition in late 2020, and it's been a real ride. Most planes are phenomenal, and one of my first purchases was PMDG's DC-6. The level of realism is uncanny! There is so much to choose from today with the variety of planes, scenery add-ons, weather and seasonal add-ons, liveries, flight planning, charting, GPS and list goes. You will be surprised by the advancements. Welcome back. Rick

I'm just glad you saw my thread and responded. So far everything looks good. I quickly tried landing the F18 on the carrier, but was waved off at the last minute. That challenge needs lot's of practice. 🙂

It seems like it takes FS2020 a little while to re-sync data from the cloud. I can see my progress/logged hours now.

Instead of cursing Top Gun Maverick, My wife and I saw it in IMAX this afternoon. Well done. Cruise was great, and it as an enjoyable way to start the Summer. Recommended. 🙂 Now let me go try and fly this F18.
