Hello,
I ask because I had thought that we had done almost all of the payware ones.
The freeware airport pack is not going to be done for reasons already explained
and those inside the regions are already being gradually worked on but there are
hundreds of them.

Hello,
I meant which ones is Doc_Z waiting for in P3D v5.

Hello,
which ones are you waiting for?

(Expecting something about SU5 being the reason for delay…)
Hello,
what follows has nothing to do with the DME.
For years FSX remained a static entity which enabled developers
to both produce work that they knew would function indefinitely and also to
stretch the original capabilities of FSX, in the knowledge that there was a
stable and unchanging base to work from.
The first two versions of P3D were not much more than a renamed FSX but
P3D v3 caused all kinds of problems with Orbx and other developers' products
that had worked in some cases for many years. This meant that the products
had to be adapted to ensure that they continued to work.
Then P3D v4 introduced further changes and with P3D v5 came a complete
overhaul of the default airports, causing more anomalies, in particular with those
that were not previously in the default simulator or whose ICAO codes had been changed.
All these changes took place in the 15 year period from 2006 to the present day.
Now we have a new simulator that in just under 12 months has had five major updates
and more small hotfixes, as well as unannounced on-the-fly changes.
It is fine to feel free to make remarks about SU5 but please consider the new environment
that all developers are working in, where what works this month may well not work next month
and where everyone is new to the game, including the developers of the simulator itself.

I was asked to look at an as yet unreleased product and saw a large tree in the centre of the runway.
Disabling the developer mode removed it at once.
I also find that developer mode appears to disable all weather.
-
Hello,
based on my own experience, do not try to use the simulator with developer mode active, unless you are a developer of course.
I would appear that it now introduces numerous anomalies which disappear when the developer mode is disabled.

Is it still set to Modern?
Have you run through the checklist?

Hello,
please make sure that the in game flight model is set to "Modern".
There is a comprehensive checklist.

Hello,
I put that into the FS forums search and it came up with this link.
One of them might point you in the right direction perhaps.
There seem to be 26 instances of ucrtbase.dll on my C drive,
What is the exact path recorded in your Event Viewer?
I don't suppose you could have removed the English (United States) language pack?

Hello,
Microsoft Flight Simulator is apparently working for millions of customers, or so we can read.
Unfortunately, there are so many variations in PC hardware, PC configuration and other PC
installed software, that it is inevitable that some MSFS customers will have problems.
For example, a friend of mine has something called "Sonic Studio" installed which apparently
comes with Asus motherboards. With it installed, MSFS refused to start, the Event Viewer citing
an audio dll as the cause. Once Sonic Studio was uninstalled, all returned to normal.
In this case, it seems that the cause is also a dll but Joe has not told us which one.
It might still be helpful if the dll could be named.
Users with problems all tend to be attracted towards forums and so the overall picture can be
skewed if only reading forms where these are reported. Once the user has reached the forum,
the correct advice has been given and yet the problem does not go away, there is only the recipient's
word that the advice was followed correctly
This is not to suggest anything more than that some are better at applying exact advice correctly than
others and of course there are varying levels of computer skills.
The perfect illustration of this is the wide variance of reported MSFS customer experience, which varies
between the seamless installation and subsequent performance and the complete inability to install in the first place.

Hello,
can you try it with nothing else in the Community folder?
I see this:

Hello,
as someone who is not a developer, I can see that all the objects are contained in one file.
I suspect that the logistics of adding switches for any files, let alone over 600 are presently beyond the scope of the simulator.
-
Hello,
I have collated all the customer feedback into one internal topic.
As you add things, they are accessible to the developer who is noting them all.

Hello,
the first thing to do would be to try this:
1. Delete any rolling cache.
2. Delete the Content.xml file.
(AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Content.xml)
3. Delete the simulator .dat files
(AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SceneryIndexes\*.dat)
4. Do not add anything to the Community folder

Hello,
welcome to the forums.
I am not able to replicate this.
Please try this:
1. Delete any rolling cache.
2. Delete the Content.xml file.
(AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Content.xml)
3. Delete the simulator .dat files
(AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SceneryIndexes\*.dat)
4. Do not add anything else to the Community folder
If you see problems after doing that, please attach a screen shot of htem.
Thanks.

Hello,
did you try

Hello,
you can either put the files into a scenery folder and create a scenery library entry,
or add them to something that is always active and is above the default scenery.
The Orbx Libraries scenery folder would fit that bill.
-
Hello,
thanks, you are quite right, I'll pass this on to the developers.

is there any way to remove things like this some landmarks so we don't this clash? Obviously the other add-on models are far greater in quality so I'd prefer to use those if possible.
Hello,
as far as I am aware, there is no easy way to add or take away various individual POIs.

Hello,
support tickets are now the preferred method of seeking product support but questions asked in the
forum will still be answered.
While we do offer support in the forums, we would ask that customers do not copy and paste support
requests to and from the forums and support tickets.
It just doubles the workload of the support staff.
Please choose one medium or the other and stick to that.
Many thanks.

Hello,
could it be your PC specs?
Can you say what they are please?
Juneau issue after installing Alaska mesh
in Microsoft Flight Simulator Support Forum
Posted
Hello,
please try renaming your Community folder to CommunityX.
Then create a new Community folder and move only the
orbx-mesh-alaska folder into it.
Then see if the anomaly is still there.
