As to nothing really available in V6.....There are many good quality Canadian airports available for V6 from coast to coast and up into the high arctic from SimAddOns.
I am looking forward to when Orbx releases theirs.

So sorry to hear this. I'm a cat guy too.

Like Landon , I have had no issues with CTD's (I'm using SU10 Beta)
This was not the case about 2 months ago , and no matter what I did I was getting them sometimes multiple times/day. But then
I could go for days without any issues, repeatedly flying over the exact same spot where I was getting a CTD,
In fact , with SU10 beta , just to check before posting this I caused a CTD about 10 minutes into a flight by making a small change.
Now this may well be unique to me, but it has been documented at the MS official website.
It's a simple thing , even though it doesn't make much sense to me.
It also may be totally unique to my computer , so take all this with the preverbal grain of salt.
If I go into Bios and turn XMP (extreme memory profile) to ON I can guarantee that I will have have a CTD
Turned off and MS2020 is absolutely rock solid stable.
However, these CTD's are very random and sometimes I would go for days to a more than a week with no issues. As you can imagine, every time
that happened my hope that I finally found the culprit and fixed the problem would vanish in words not allowed on a family friendly website.
Does it make a difference to how MS2020 performs. Not at all as far as I can tell. I still can fly at 60 fps locked without any issues, my computer
is just as responsive as it has always been. All I can say is that on my machine, for whatever reason when SU9 came along it decided that
it didn't like having XMP on.
My suspicion is that I have a bad memory stick, but running multiple memory tests by the folks that built it has found nothing.
Nothing else on my machine exhibits this behavior. I also had no issues until SU9 came along.
In my case, turning XMP off completely fixed the issue. My performance hasn't changed one bit, and my installation is rock solid stable as I said.
Am I recommending this ... No, not really . But if you have checked absolutely everything else and found no solution , all I can say is that you might want to consider it.
I know that there are lots of people who enjoy MS2020 and have XMP turned ON without any issues whatsoever. I've given up having any interest
in the why this happens and why it happens to me and not to other members who have it on without issues.
I believe though that it was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, stated by Sherlock Homes "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." I guess "my truth" is that on my system XMP causes MS2020 to behave in a random unstable manner.
MS2020 is not only a wonderful product that I enjoy immensely, but it is also the most frustrating program at times that I have ever used.
Cheers

Greetings.
Where do I find the XMP file? Not sure where the bios is either.
I’m an older guy and not the sharpest with this.
Thanks for any help and patience.

I’ve been having CTD in just about all my flights for 3 months now.
Multiple removals and reinstalls of msfs2020.Problem remains.
I have lost count of the hours I’ve spent with dealing with this.
If I hadn’t spent all the money that I have on it I’d deep six the whole thing.
Looks like there are more than a few with the same problem.
Interesting that it appears it isn’t getting fixed. -
Hi Nick,
No response from your accounting section was ever received.

Bought a few things on sale yesterday. Did the process for purchase and hit PAY and nothing happened for some time and then a message came up saying it could not find my cart. However the cart was still showing as before purchase.
So, I clicked off as it was the only way to exit the page, did the process again. same result.
Then for the heck of it i checked the store where you can download things you've bought and there they were, available for download.
I was/am concerned I might have been billed twice or worse........
Normally I get an immediate notification of a credit card transaction and this time did not get one.
Sent a message then to Support but no response yet.
Definitely concerning.

Be nice to see some XP11 items moved to XP12.

Just to clarify
I wasn't fired but deemed not required. The flow of Support requests has greatly diminished for XPlane.
It's too bad you're gone as I always found your inputs to be worthwhile reading.

Does TE need to be installed into the Orbx library in order to "point" them at XP12? I have mine installed directly into XP11.
-
How well modeled is the PT6-34? Are there any RW pilots who have this machine? Many moons ago I flew the E-110 with the -34 for a couple of years. Proper engine modelling in a sim really adds to immersion imho.

How do you install/create a link so Orbx xp11 scenery will work with xp12?
thanks.

Does anyone know if there is a good Gibralter available for XP11?
-
Thanks Jon. Now I will find an airport or two for it. Had hoped for an Orbx airport as the quality is always there as is the ease of updating..

Greetings. Just purchased Spain TE SD and am looking for an Orbx map to see the area covered. Reason is to check what airports in Orbx central are available within this area during the current sale for it. I am not overly familiar with Spain being from Canada. Any replies would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Has anyone checked out the general aviation area at the north end of CYYZ? Curious as to detail. Thanks.

It's working for me now.

Same problem different temperature! A friend of mine flew a helo in Antarctica before GPS and given the high latitude the compass was virtually unusable , is that a problem in the high Canadian lts?
The magnetic north pole is south of the physical north pole. It's located in Canada north of Resolute Bay (CYRB). As far north as i flew personally was Resolute. Did medivacs out of Iqaluit (CCYFB) on Baffin Island - month in, month out - with a king air200 in the late 1990s and Resolute was a far north as we'd go. You can get large difference in variation in a short time depending on your routing so that's why flight planning is done in degrees true. In the 200 the company had installed (in addition to an astro compass) a Sperry HSi that was said to precess less than a degree per hour. Factor in convergence and you had a great tool for high arctic flying. When lined up on the runway before takeoff you'd adjust the HSI to the true heading of the runway. Other than Iqaluit which used degrees magnetic till 40nm out everything was degrees true. Id set my Sperry hsi in true and the F/Os in magnetic in case atc on departure needed to separate traffic by VOR separation. Once into airspace using degrees true he/she would then reset their hsi to true.
It was good flying there. Baffin is mountainous and back then before gps for approaches was commonly available most approaches were an NDB - the community airport NDBs back then were powerful.......though all used the gps for backup, wink, wink....if enough satellites were present. The last time I was up there was 2011 when employed by the fed gov't and as part of my duties when I could get out of the office was flying a king air 90 which was equipped well. Retired now.
Would have liked to seen Antarctica as the company had work there.

I have just looked but can't find an answer, it's 176gb for HD so SD which I have will be lower but I can't work it out looking at my XP11 install location....sorry I can't be of more help to you...
Thanks very much for the reply. On other TE I seem to remember it was about 1/3 - 1/2 of the disk space for the HD version. I am surprised the info is not provided when more than a few are running out of disk space.
Cheers,
-
I guess this is a mystery to all judging by the zero responses.
A little tight on HD space so the info would be helpful.

I have travelled the world extensively in real life and I have met very few people in the Northern hemisphere that truly understand the nature of the Australian Continent unless they have spent time travelling on it or over it or through it.
There is simply nothing to compare in the Northern hemisphere and one of the things have I learnt when flying with Northern Hemisphere trained pilots is that they find our VFR maps very hard to read from the map to the ground as the topography is so different and what we see as a feature in Australia would not even be marked on a VFR map in the Northern hemisphere.
So a more detailed mesh that allows a more nuanced topography would be much appreciated by those of us that fly VFR in our sims in Australia. I guess that is why Orbx started from in providing more detail in our delicate Australian topography before they became international in their approach.
For difficult to read VFR maps/charts you should give Canada a try, in winter, north of the tree line. First time i did that was in the late 1970s in my rotary wing days long before gps. That said sometimes the machines would have an ADF and sometimes they actually worked.

Anyone know how much space this takes when installed? Thanks.

wain71,
Yep, I hear you. I have nice V5 set up as well. That said i like what I see in V6 and living in Canada, having all these Cdn airports is great. Couple that with Active Sky for V6 and it is a great experience.
Just have the Majestic Dash 8 add-on in V6 at the moment and hoping at some point to see other aircraft become available. Apparently the Learjet 25/28 from extreme prototypes is not that far away.
