Excellent set John, bit of everything there. Don

Three great shots Adam, great lighting, love 'em Don

Now that my sort of woman, can't even get my wife near a GA. Took her to Archerfield for a look, big mistake, anything smaller than a 737, forget it.

Guess Country Fairs are off the list now. Hilarious comment, brought laughter tears to my eyes, thanks mate. Don

LOL, and she's still living with you?

I could get behind this new club for sure , reminds of a old classic movie scene : LOL

My wife and her girlfriend were having a discussion about who was worse off husband wise. Her friends husband is a golfer, my wife is saddled with a flight simmer - of course. The end result, my wife won - Golfers are gone all day, 18 holes plus a session at the 19th hole. My wife has only to walk into my computer room and there I am, so from that point, we have a winner, but not so fast my friends, her girlfriend says it's nice to have some peace when her husband is at golf, my wife agrees that must be very nice not having to listen to your husband whinging all day like hers. This brings me to the point of the title of the "new club". My wife has proposed "The Grumpy Old Farts" club, and me as the President. She says she has never seen so much door slamming, and heard such profanity coming from my mouth except for the last couple of days (release of update 5). I said I would apologise, except it's hard to talk when you're getting your mouth washed out with soap and water. Don

Hi Rob, AS you have probably read in my earlier posts, I'm pretty hopeless with computer techy stuff, so I rely on what I read here. I thought I had to separate my folders to hopefully eliminate problems relating to MSFS latest update. I thought the best thing to do was to set up separate folders Orbx, and other sceneries - US, UK, Europe etc. No I don't have an outside library. So far I've stayed away from freeware sceneries, due to a few problems I had with them in FSX, and I consider developers such as NZA, Aerosoft, etc to be "quality" developers that shouldn't under normal conditions create a problem for me, of course there are exceptions to all rules. Right now I'm on the verge of putting MSFS on hold until MS sorts the problems out. P3D is looking a much better option and error free. Thanks for helping.

Thanks Nick What is the exact path to your Community folder? C:\Users\doncr\appdata\local\packages\microsoftflightsimulator\localcache\packages\community Don

Thanks Brad, I'm trying to create a folder "Community Orbx" where do I put it?

I'm trying to add a couple of Community folders, but keep getting the message "Your organisation does not allow you to place this file here." I tried to add the folder into the Packages folder, didn't work, and then the Community Folder that didn't work either. Someone help with this please thanks. Don

Happy Birthday Dolf, hope you have a great day Don

These are a brilliant set Carlos, excellent rendition of Brisbane. I used to drive those streets everyday, not so much now unfortunately, excellent job. Don

Happy Birthday Taph, celebrate long and hard. Brad said, I am trying to avoid the Old Coot's Club as long as I can at age 67 , but Father time marches on ........ For me Brad he's not marching, but running.

Welcome to the Old Farts Club Don

Thanks Gulf, I appreciate you adding your "two cents" worth. My computer experience is very limited, having worked for a company with it's own IT guy and the rest of us just having to point and click. You don't gain much computer knowledge this way, and I probably have learned more here seeking answers/info, than anywhere else. It has been a huge leap. Thanks to guys like you, Nick and John, I am slowly learning how some of it works, in most cases enough to get by on, until MSFS has a major stuff up like now, really takes the fun out of it, messing about trying to make things work. I will set up a couple more Community folders to hopefully make things run easier/better, bit of a PITA, but one does what one has to do. I have found that one has to be very careful with a lot of the information on YouTube, or maybe I should say "misinformation" and conflicting posts, it can lead to mass confusion to the uneducated in computers. Thanks again for your input. Don

Thanks John, Renaming the folder is only a step to hide it, so another folder can then be named Community, and accessible to MSFS. Useful for hiding all scenery add-ons, so that add-ons can be individually moved into the new community folder for checking. Nick's multiple folder system is a different kettle of fish. So as I understand it, if I have all my files, (Airports/Scenery) in CommunityX folder and I want to fly from Brisbane to Sydney, I need to transfer both of those files into my main Community Folder for MSFS to find them and load them.

Thanks Nick. Sorry, you'll have to excuse my lack of computer expertise. If I rename my Community folder CommunityX as you suggest, does that mean the computer wont be able to access that folder? If so, what's the point, sure you keep all of the files within that folder, but if the computer can't find/access them, then I don't understand. You have several Community folders, so when you click on a place/scenery/airport, you want to fly to, does the computer automatically find it in the relevant Community folder? Thanks for taking the time to help. Don

I've been doing a lot of reading re the update, and a lot of you guys, deleting your community folder. So, if I follow suit, does that mean I have to reinstall all the files Orbx, Aerosoft etc into my community folder? I read that some of you are having trouble with "freeware" scenery files, I don't have any, so I guess I can cross that off the list. The thought of having to reinstall all my other stuff, well nah, not on, so that being the case I guess I'm stuck with what I have, which is the occasional freeze and having to fix my views. Microsoft, software developers for years, sim developer - FSX, and with all this experience, can't produce a updated sim, (original MSFS), and then an updated version without creating more problems. So guys, do I REALLY have to delete my community folder? Don

Thanks John, interesting vid. It helped, but unfortunately doesn't go into my problem deep enough. The default explanation that I was after helped, but I still have other problems. I've found another Youtube vid by "Squirrel" tutorial 3, that goes into views quite extensively, I haven't had time to have a good look into that as yet. Another question, not sure if it's connected to my current problem, in the "Discovery" series, They open with the aircraft outside, the screen that has the flight instruments showing, when you change to a different camera view - outside, say drone, you have no controls, the joystick and rudder pedals don't work, seems weird. Appreciate your thoughts on that - thanks.

After the recent big update from Microsoft, my camera's had changed from before the update, no problem, I can fix that - wrong, I made it worse. Best way to fix that is to revert to default and start afresh, problem is, I've been through everything in MSFS and cannot find how to get back to default. Advice please. Don

I agree Joe, but how long does it take to get just a few from so many developers? Don

For me, I think The aircraft in MSFS are pretty poor as far as diversity goes. I don't feel the aircraft developers have done much of a job, not like the scenery developers who have given us so much to choose from. Only my opinion. Don

Happy Birthday mate, hope you get to chuck a couple of coldies down. Don

Happy Birthday Adam, and as Iain said - keep those grand shots coming in. Don
