    Apart from having health issues off and on, I also have been having issues with MSFS since the last update. I'm getting a "ding dong" or "bing bong" noise periodically when I fly, which hasn't been very often right now, this also causes the sim to freeze . MS support haven't been able to fix it, and I don't have the time or patience to deal with it, so my flying is pretty much on the back burner for now. I may leave it there and just try it every so often until the 2024 version comes out, and go from there. But I'm still here lurking, checking up on you guys to make sure you are behaving. 😄 So, no I haven't quit Orbx, just getting here when I can.

    You never know, maybe Max even LIKES to go to school? What if he finds a girlfriend there? Thinking back...

     

    Had to keep an eye on him during class, he had his eye on a poodle, which was really funny, she stood underneath him. 😂

    Thanks Iain. He graduated 😁 with honors. Even won the heart of his trainer, she said he was the biggest Lab she had ever had in her classes. I realise this when he tries to climb on my lap. 50 kilo's is a bit heavy. It was worth it all in the end.

    I got dragged to doggie school last Sunday. I finally convinced my wife that Max HAD to be trained. Not that I walk him a lot, I call on my grandkids to do that, I love walking him, but

    I don't have the strength to control him anymore. I need him to walk quietly beside me, not career off down the street with me in tow. It's fifty kilo's of flying Labrador, if you've seen those comic sketches of dogs dragging owners down the street - yep that's what I look like 🤪. Just hoping he doesn't take off and wrap me around a lamp post. 

    Even the trainer said, "wow that's a big strong dog". And so, it looks like I'm going to doggie school for the next five weeks. Right now, I'm trying to convince my son he should take him with my wife. Not having much luck.  He's a beautiful boy, love him lots, pure bread blood lines from the UK. The breeder had the sperm flown in from the UK so you can probably appreciate his value. He is the daddy of the puppies I posted photo's of some time back. Anyway I've finished waffling......... Max

    Hi Don

    Sorry to hear of your issues.  I don't see the issues that you were experiencing with the toolbar.

     

    For what its worth, I did see that this was reported during the SU13 beta,  and there was a workaround from a "Mr Fuzzy" that was able to 

    restore it.  However , I got the message when I went to the link at the MS site that it was removed or was private.

     

    I am assuming that you also went to the content manager and redownloaded all the items there that are indicated  that are also part of the 

    Su13 upgrade.  If you missed that part, then it will take a while as there is a lot to download, but it should solve some of the issues.

     

    With respect to Milford Sound, since New Zealand is also one of the geographical areas that was part of the SU13 update, you will need to again 

    remove the Asobo version of Milford Sound

    Scroll down to page 3 for NZMF .

     

    Hope this helps

    Pete

     

    HI Pete,

    Thanks for the link, some good info there. Unfortunately the way I am at the moment, I have to do a bit at a time. Yep I removed the default Milford Sound and the three   airports, but not sure I the SU13  upgrade that you mentioned, might need to find that and do what I need to do.

    Thanks for helping out, I really appreciate it. 🙂

    Regarding  NZMS the pic shows what I get on booting it up

     

    Regards,

    Don

    What did you do that the universe is punishing you Don?   (Trying to be humorous!)

    Sorry, I know how frustrating it is when stuff doesn't work, especially when it is working OK for others.

     

    For what it is worth, I'm not seeing the issues that you are after the latest MSFS 2020 update.  

    The default toolbar at the top of the screen works and so does the pop-up round one for Flow Pro.

    NZA Simulations' NZMF looks really good on my PC.  (Once I uninstalled the conflicting Asobo version included in World Update XII.)

     

    Sorry I don't know what is going on with your sim, but take heart that it can work.  It just might take a bunch of troubleshooting and perhaps re-installing.

     

    Like Graeme, I am also puzzled about your "default 737".  I have the Premium Deluxe version of MSFS and don't have a 737. 

     

     

     

    Hey Matt, yep the 737 is a mystery, I'm not spending any of my limited time chasing its origin. NZA is fine, looks great, it's just the start up, and once I load another   aircraft it's all good. Just waiting on NZA to give me an answer/fix, just cose it bugs me. The toolbar thing is another MSFS mystery, if I shut it down, then next time it usually works/appears as normal. The thing that pee's me off, is the time wasted sorting this sh*t out when one could be flying.

    Sorry to hear that Don. I was going to suggest some actions to take with Milford Sound but if you're in touch with NZA you'll be on to those. The default 737 has me puzzled. I don't have one? Have you downloaded it from somewhere?

    Cheers

    Graeme :)

     

    I don't know mate, at 85 me Covid frazzled brain aint workin so well. When I saw it, my immediate reaction was that I wasn't aware that MS had released a 737, and now obviously by all he head scratching comments, they haven't. I log everything I buy even freebies, and I can't find a source, so I guess it will remain a mystery 🙂

    Downloaded the latest MS update last week and finally got to try it out. I still can't get it to work straight out of the box. Small things and to most not a big deal I guess - things like no tool bar, either one MS or Parrell 42, not there anymore, as I said little things, but after a while it just irks me that I can't get a update that works straight away. NZ's new you beaut software Milford Sound, the aircraft are either upside down or in the bushes when it opens, it fixes itself when I select another aircraft, but shouldn't happen. Yes I have had a conversation with the developer. 

    I have a question about the default 737. I flew it today and found that a lot doesn't work, it wont track with HDG, Auto pilot is useless, doesn't control anything, even with a flight plan installed, activate it and the a/c takes a new unprogrammed heading, and so on and so on. No problem with the Airbus any of them, well what I've checked so far. BAH!

    Well that's my whinge for today, got better things to do with what little time I have, I'm off to fly something that does fly as it should.

    The User Guide tab on Orbx Central's NZMF page also has the instructions for disabling the World Update XII versions of Milford Sound, Martins Bay, and Quintin Lodge.

     

    Hi Matt, never thought of that, thanks

    Hi Don

     

    I also had some elevation mismatches, which I eliminated by temporally  deactivating the Orbx New Zealand mesh package.

     

    I use addon linker, so it is easy to reactivate when I am outside of the NZMF region addon areas.  I find the Orbx addon

    really adds a lot to the scenery  to have it turned on.

     

    Hope you get  it all working. NZMF is a superb piece of work.  

    Really makes me want to go there to visit:):)

     

    Cheers

    Hey Pete, thanks for the advice, have seen the pics the guys have posted and it looks great, give me something good to get back into it again

    Hi Don,

     

    I'm pretty sure it's a conflict issue.  When you extract the files, there's a README called NZMF_ReadMe.pdf. Open this, and it gives you instructions on how to disable the conflicting Microsoft airports.

     

    Chees,

     

    John

     

    Thanks John, I'll look for that
