Great, that this fantastic thread is continued.

Yep, that's a strange thing. I had used MSFS via the Xbox game pass when it came out, because of a special offer which ran out after 3 months. I then quit the game pass, completely uninstalled MSFS and asked Santa for the DVD version. So for about 3 to 4 weeks MSFS was totally absent to my system, but when I installed the DVD version all my previous settings and prferences automatically showed up again. Must have been stored in the cloud under my Xbox user name I guess.

John, ad 1) Maybe Australian officials are a tad too strict when it comes to open areal images to the public. So Google Maps is also not up to date for large parts of Australia. And to be fair only for a few small areas Bing is using 9 year old images, which is okay, since anybody not just looking for his private house hardly won't realize any difference. ad 2) Australia is one of the lucky regions of the world which have been subject of major update namely World Update VII. BTW, it is not too difficult to substitute the default ground textures for certain regions with other areal images including up to date buildings by your own. There are many tutorials on the web inc. YouTube how to do this.

Just my 2 cents to this subject... As long as DX12 is still in beta I'm not going to use it. When introducing DX12 beta months ago, MS/Asobo warned that this might cause odd behavior of the sim depending on the system. At last ironing out such issues is the purpose of a beta.

What? 40 GB! I do hope not much space on c drive is needed for installing, otherwise I'll have a problem.

Lots of labour has gone into this post.

Me thinks you have posted this in the wrong thread.

Last evening I had this issue for the first time, but only when shutting down the sim. After clicking "quit to desktop" it took a few seconds then this infamous GPU warning appeared. I then had to end MSFS via the task manager. This is really strange, because I am using the sim almost daily with the same settings etc. and never had this issue before. Since I have been using the same Nvidia drivers for years now, I don't think this is a driver issue. The only changes I had made to MSFS yesterday was upgrading the installed FSLTL to the most up to date version and installing a certified livery for the Fenix A320. So the only reason for the GPU warning I can imagine is, that either FSLTL has a bad livery included or the new Fenix livery is faulty.

The more they are using discord for support instead of a proper forum. Discord is fine for many things, but not for support and product info.

Our former regional carrier Tyrolean Airways used to do scheduled flights from LOWI to Courchevel during the ski seasons operated by a four engine Dash 7.

Wow!

In the OP it says: Complete reproduction of the entire city and harbours with custom buildings

Actually they can go up pretty high. The world record is 68,986 ft. In many countries altitude restrictions apply though and special permits are required for these high altidudes. Where I live, during the cold seasons one can occasionally see hot air balloons crossing over the Alps, mainly from North to South due to prevailing winds, up at around 16,000 - 19,000 feet. Such an alpine crossing can be booked by anybody for around € 900 - 1,000. Of course oxigen masks have to be used by the balloonists.

Come on, icebergs in Sydney harbour?

Thanks again guys for your responds. Weekend is here and I now have time to think about your suggestions and to try the one or other.

Happy Birtjday mate

I am on Win10 and my c drive is a 120 GB SSD. With every Win update and every installation of an app or program the free space on the drive is getting smaller and smaller (although all new installations are aiming to another drive), currently being at around 3.5 GB, which can drop to under 1 GB for one or two days after a Win update, which sometimes is not enough space for the system to run properly. I have now checked that my installer-folder (C/Windows/Installer) is "bloated" up to over 70 (!!) GB, containing mainly msi and msp files dated from 2006 up to present. Does anybody know, which of these files I can safely delete? All the internet sources I have found regarding this issue so far are only providing kind of useless advises like "before you delete these files, make sure they are not needed by your system". Is there a way to check, which of these files are still needed by my system and which I can safely delete. Any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks, Wolfgang

Wayne, are you on DX12? Try switching to DX11.

You absolutely may say so!

Happy Birthday Doug

It looks like you have changed your "Assistance Options". So go to Options/Assistance Options/Navigation Aids and alter the settings there to your liking. I think this should solve your issue.
