Beauty, thanks Rob, that’s one piece of i formation I’ve been wanting to find out about. I’m close to getting 2024 but my internet is dreadfully slow which might prevent me from getting a ‘pleasing’ 2024 performance. Regards John

Hi guys, I have been into flight simming since the land was green ( just green ) and the sea was blue, that was back in 95 I think. Today I still have and get a great deal of pleasure cruising into new places on the sim I have built up over the years, but have a slight problem now. I am an Orbx fan and have many of their addons, but all of which are taking a toll on my poor old PC. As I live in Whangarei, I would like to know if there are any other sim fans who could give me some guidence on how to get the best from my setup. I do enjoy my simulator, but get very frustated trying to nut out...

They do carry over, provided you're using the same Microsoft or Steam account for FS2024 as you used for FS2020. Like with previous flight simulator sequels, if the addon was intended originally for FS2020 there might be some compatibility issues, but most seem to work ok with no tweaking required.

Since I posted that, I've been finding it more and more difficult to even load a flight with the SU3 beta, with countless CTDs, so today I quit the beta and went back to SU2. I'd only really joined the beta to see if my aerials would be fixed, but now that I've tweaked them to work, I can happily fly -- and develop -- in SU2.

CP, the crush may have been the Stag (not saying you weren't a desirable catch) ...my old Humber 80 with a hunter engine and free flow exhaust had a similar affect ....but in reverse :rolleyes: At that stage I think I was still on a pushbike, before my first car (a Morris 1000). When I was doing my CHC outstation work I traded my Ford Capri 2000 mk2 in for my first Stag. The second one I bought later after returning to Auckland. That was a Leyland P76 engined one which I repainted black inside and out. It used to boogy. I quite liked the Triumps. I even had a Triumph 2500 PI for a while when...

It's not quite the same thing I realise, but I do like that 2024 allows you to start on the ground from any location. I often do GA trips to strips that aren't in the FS database so being able to resume from those is nice, although there is always the risk of selecting your start point and finding it's directly on top of a large rock or a tree!

:lol: and for $1, we could get a spade and free access to the burial plot in Oz, plus all the other bits we will need! It's a no-brainer, get the folks who negotiated the Cook Strait Ferry deal involved... Up and running by 2035? They can show them off at the Auckland airport second runway opening air show. Experience and cynicism come hand in hand.

Well your loss matel Well I would not worry about that. I have indicated many times in past posts on NZAA forums that i do plan to move to MS2024 in 2 or 3 years. I am still waiting for MS2024 to have all commercial airline planes like FSX has. I am NOT giving up all historic jets to move to MS2024. So I am waiting until MS2024 has ALL historic airline jets. I always believe in creating screenshots showing history of commercial aviation. Regards, Aharon

Thanks for the votes and contributions lads, have decided to stay w MSFS 2020 and buy titles that are 2024 compatible where possible. As yaz prolly know I mostly fly freighters, so bought my first couple of add-on airports (both 2020/2024 compat), MM Simulations EBLG Liege, and SimWings PANC Anchorage. Gonna connect those up w something like KORD/Chicago or KCVG/Cincinnati and prolly add EDDP/Leipzig and EGSS/Stanstead at some point. Heavies ahoy !!!

That is pricey but it does look very good and has good initial reviews. Our $NZ being in the toilet certainly doesn’t help.

Yes, I was amazed that someone over the other side of the world can screenshot my old house:) These are default MSFS2024, but photogrammetry works in 2020 by default as well.

The 'autoGenerate' feature for LODs which I mentioned has now stopped working. I think this was either a 30 day trial, or a mistake by MS to include a license with the SDK. You can buy a license, prices seem to range from NZ1500 up to $15,000. So no, I won't be buying it. This tool is owned by Microsoft now, so they may rethink the cost of a license for those of us who are not major game studios. By the way, I left Bruce's offer of help hanging here a bit, but I have contacted him privately, and I hope that he can supply photos of the new buildings at Taieri.

There must be more mechanical complexity in the 777 landing gear than some early 20th century aircraft had in their entire airframe. Very informative photos and text!
