Another thing to watch out for is it reverts back to window mode if you have full screen enabled. This hasn't happened for a while until this last update. I do always check after every update. As Nick pointed out, the assists do there own thing at times as well. Kevin

Now come on guys ya gotta be kidding me !! I have purchased 140 products from Orbx Direct and partners for MSFS and you want to make it easier ? I agree with Nick, it is just too easy.😎 Kevin

Hi Don, a ding dong is quite serious and you should seek advise. A bing bong is more of a worry. Sorry Don couldn't resist it.🤐 When I get a locked screen I can usually find the problem after a lot hand wringing. If I do get a freeze or lockup it is total silence with a frozen picture or blank screen and I have to manually shut down PC. Getting back to your bing bong. when I disconnect my yoke or pedals I get a bing bong or something like that and I am just wondering if you are getting something like that ie a bad connection somewhere. Often after an update from M/S I will get odd lockups like after update 15 and the first go to fix it is to download the latest driver for your card and it is as good as gold until the next major. Food for thought anyway Don, you don't have this type of thing on your own. All the best for Christmas and take care out there. Kevin

Hi there. Log into your Orbx account at orbxdirect.com you will have a list of your Orbx transactions, scroll down until you find Rex Accuseason click on to open and you will find your purchase date and transaction number. I myself have been waiting for the update via Orbx Central but as yet it has not appeared, not through any fault of Orbx I might add. However if it has not appeared soon I will update with the vendor. Kevin

It's not like you to show us all the easy stuff Carlos 🙃 Kevin

You continue to turn out scenery like this and will continue to buy Marcus.🏆 Kevin

On your knees with your hands clasped in front may help. The request for an update has been requested by many before you and the answer has been a resounding no. Kevin

Thanks Ed, you have made my day. Nice to get good news after all the wind & water we have been getting across the ditch. NZAA has shut up shop again with 80k plus wind gusts. Air Latim spent over an hour circling at 10,000ft over Auck. before going back to Sydney. A couple of others have been half across the Tasman and turned back to Melbourne & Sydney. I try to flight sim to take my mind off the situation. Thanks again Ed. Kevin

Can you tell me please, if the train is just static or does it indeed move and give us cause to celebrate ? 🙂 Kevin

Hi Tim, yes it sure has been a challenging environment the last couple of years. I am sure you are on to it and all being well we should see something not too long after the next MSFS world update NZ come Feb. I have experienced a rather hot first hand drama on the NSW north coast a couple of years back, and you guys that throw yourselves into it boots and all at the drop of a hat are owed a debt of gratitude. Happy New Year and see ya out the other side. Kevin

The update is installed and it all looks stunning as usual Viacheslav. Thank you so much for your endless attention to detail and improvements that you manage to achieve when the original was so good. I do hope you give yourself a bit of down time and try to celebrate during the festive season. Also that Father Christmas is the only thing to come down your chimney. Stay safe my Friend and good wishes. Kevin

I have just received a notification from Nvidia that an updated driver is available. However, as this is a normal occurrence before a sim update (usually the day before) I do not update the graphics driver until after the Asobo update err downdate, which for me is due tomorrow. I wait until I can decipher what they have broken before I update the graphics driver after I am satisfied who is responsible for any strange behavior. Okay okay that does include yours truly. I did have this occur to me on the odd occasion until the last driver update 526.47 and all has been sweet since. I have that many fingers and toes crossed at the moment for a trouble free (sigh) update that I am feeling quite faint from a lack of blood circulation. Kevin

As John says, Microsoft store, Premium Deluxe. PC platform is more versatile and there is more aircraft and scenery available. Some scenery is dummed down for Xbox. Let the fire begin Kevin

Just fantasic, it sure brought a tear to the eye. I have watched the highs and lows of the top dressing industry in New Zealand for 70+ years and it still puts a chill up the spine to see the skill of these guys. Yes and unfortunately it is a job that brings it's share of accidents. Without these guys NZ would not have the farming industry that we see today. We would also not have a great flight sim experience without Orbx & Partners. Keep up the good work. Kevin

Nice shots. Yes the bar sure has been raised. The lady in the blue dress at the bar has just had her drink spiked by the guy next to her, she is on her way up for sure. You will have to purchase this first class scenery to get the facial clues. I own 100 plus Orbx & Partner sceneries and this one would be at the top of the tree. Please all show your support to encourage some more of this quality. Kevin

Yes looks to be another top product. You sure have been a busy little beaver these last few months. You may have a week off after the release and then back to the grind stone Kevin

Well all jokes aside Don I really do know what you are going through, but not having any real Xbox experience except for boxes with XXXX on the side I can't offer any credible suggestions it does seem odd that MSFS does see it. If you select it in the controls menu are any keys or buttons showing as programed? Kevin

Hi Don, have you got an X marking the spot in the back yard where you will bury your Xbox if it still doesn't work? Kevin

Hi Don, I don't have an Xbox controller but I see that you don't say if you can see it listed in the MSFS controller settings. If it doesn't show there then I can't suggest anything, but if it shows in the list of controllers then MSFS might have thought that you have nothing better to do and nuked all the settings for it. Do hope you get to the bottom of this. Kevin

Hi Marcus, Just goes to prove that my "investment" in these airports when they were first released was a smart move. Keep up the good work. Kevin

Thankyou so much for the updated NZ mesh. I know that this would have been a real pain in the how's ya father after all the work to the original product. I have checked out Queenstown, Milford and Mount Cook. I can't get the grin off my face. I know that you will sort out any remaining hicups that may be present elsewhere. Thanks again for the great work. Kevin

Really pleased that there will be animated trains to a degree. This sort of thing that adds to the emersion of the simulator, and also the balloons making use of all that Aussie hot air. Well done team. Kevin

This topic has caused more of a stink than I thought it would Kevin.

Have you checked for updates via your a/c in the Microsoft store and your library. The update to the core standard MSFS is there and I usually update it from there first and then let the ( cough ) game update the rest when it starts. Usually and update in the store that has been interrupted can be restarted from where you left off. I do not recommend doing a system restore when the rest of your system is fine. But what would I Know? Kevin

Yes it really is a nice piece of work by the team. Went through in 1967 and stopped off at Panama City for a late afternoon early evening few hours. Walking around with very tender feet. the ships deck was so hot I got cooked through my Jandels, err thongs or what ever you like to call them. The city is sure a different beast to when I was there. I have been to many countries around the world but it is the only time I have felt really scared. I'm sure that is not a problem today and it was an experience overall that I was fortunate to have.
