I just closed and reran PSXT and then selected Scan for addon airports in order to cause it to rescan. The same slow and laborious process of putting an XML file in the PSXT folder for a second or two and then removing it occurred again, making the scan take a very long time - much more than it used to. Is this a result of moving the archive online? Can we have the option to have it installed locally? It was much quicker when the archive would download each time instead of going through this process. It then went through the process of repopulating a bunch of XML files in my PSXT installation folder again.

The scan for addon airports took a really long time after updating to 10.0.0. Every second or two, I would see a new airport .xml file appear in my PSXT installation folder and then disappear again. Then I see a bunch of XML files appear in my PSXT installation folder (they are not airports that I have addons for). Those XML files have remained in my installation folder after the airport scan. What am I supposed to do with them (there are 159 of them)?

Maybe not Mike, but many others appreciate your efforts and work with this topic, Amine!

What is your model matching depth set to? Try 2.

It's very sad indeed. Once I learned that (after buying ZBAA and ZSPD), I stopped buying Chinese scenery.

I'm not 100% sure this will work (I returned 2024), but I saw some tests a developer did with different settings and it seemed that changing the Trees setting (which in 2020 seemed to affect the quality of the trees), seemed to also reduce the amount of trees. Therefore, try setting Trees to Low and see how that looks.

You also have to click Save if you want the setting to persist.

My impression was that there is WAY more tree coverage everywhere than I remember in 2020. The trees generally look better, but there are simply far too many of them.

This - I think it's a good observation.

I would agree with the comment that the default handcrafted airports seem to be better than 2020. Whether they are better than the 2020 payware, I don't think so. Also, the traffic movements are a little much. Here are some screenshots at KDEN, showing traffic jams due to planes being too close to each other. this is with real time traffic data only. On the other side of the airfield, the conga line of planes were really close to each other.

VFS Activating Packages on the initial running of the sim is taking way longer than the 12GB download from the store. This is definitely going to take a while!

Probably NG trying to add value so that people moving to 2024 don't cancel their subscriptions. However, I'm not sure why they stopped at showing Vatsim and Ivao traffic. Why not show the traffic you have injected in your sim (your chosen injector, multiplayer...)? The feature as announced has zero value to me.

Hi Nico, Any reply from Balthasar?

Great test, Nico! Thank you for running it. Interesting and weird results. I'm sure we all look forward to Balthasar's input.
