  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Thankyou for the first class update and really appreciate the low update price.

    Of course it cost me a great deal more than that because as usual I couldn't

    resist buying 2 more scenery's at the same time 👍

    EGLC performs as I expected it would, and is a good mate for Orbx London city.

    While there are nice solutions for airport traffic and indeed FSLTL is good, I do mis the little GA planes in all those packages.

    FSLTL is starting to address this on this side of the world anyway. I have come across both static and active piper pa28 and 

    Cessna 172 on the odd occasion. The last time being a few minutes ago on landing at NZNS Nelson there was a pa28 getting

    clearance then taking off for Takaka. Just hope they have mowed the grass!

    This app is getting better by the day.

  6. Hello Don, yes Nick is right on the button with this one.

    Read his post carefully re: the last sentence.

    I have been using this for a couple of months now and have 

    been amazed of how good it is in Aus. & NZ. Just be aware

    that the flights are in real time so that if you are lighting up you

    sim at 1pm your traffic at YSSY will be at the correct time.

    The traffic at EGLL will be 1am so you will see parked aircraft

    and not much else. Give or take daylight saving etc.

    Don't, I suggest modify the traffic injector. I Know you must be a 

    decendant of Old King Cole ( you fiddle a lot ) but don't be tempted.

    At least until you have used it for some time. Follow installation and set up.

    For our part of the world this FSTL is the best there is ( and free ) It is very

    good world wide but within the limitations I have described.

    Have fun my friend.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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. :blink:

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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?

  14. 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.

    Thanks

     

    Could you please give us a specific example of a scenery that has this ability, just curious?

    :)I may have the wrong end of the stick here, but of the 67 MSFS Airports I have installed

    from Orbx and Partners the following have the ability to toggle static aircraft.

    ESSB Orbx

    KBUR v2 Orbx

    LYNI Orbx

    EGPF Pyreegue Dev Co.

    EGPH   "    "    "     "      "

    KDCA Drzewiecki Design

    RJAA      "     "    "    "   "

    UUEE     "      "    "    "   " 

    AS I say I may have misunderstood  if so I will crawl back under my rock.
