Though you cannot start on one of them, the rooftop helipads are solid so you can land on them.

You cannot talk to in-game ATC, except for the menu. I use a payware called Pilot2ATC, the voice-recognition is pretty good. I have had the odd moment where I'm told to go-around when there was no traffic. If you really want live, you can go to VATSIM with human ATCs and pilots.

at least you can pretend all the windmill towers are ground defenses.

Another way to get the filter menu is to click on the "view more" button on the New Uploads', Trending Right Now, Recently Updated Mods categories (it's on the right of the title) and when you go to the page it takes you, there is a filter menu there as well. Cheers.

why do you say it's missing? https://flightsim.to/file/1572/msfs-addons-linker

I'm not really sure why they added the humongous SU5 banner to scenery files. I can't think of a single one that was broken by it. It just makes downloaders a bit nervous and scenery makers a bit annoyed.

It's always the world updates that kill my mods.

It was a different case for aircraft.

If they had implemented the LODs like they did for the Xbox 90-95% of scenery mods here would've been made instantly useless. Which is maybe why they didn't do it.

I've had several sceneries stop flight loading dead in its tracks until I removed them and asked/begged designers to update or at least test their current sceneries for compatibility. Some, as Superspud , have done a great job and I have not had issues with the changes. But I felt it necessary to remove all sceneries installed prior to August 3 (using the date and the dates on new uploads and started re-adding when I saw they were updated - the greenbar, or actually update content or, because I liked it so much, tested it myself.

The green bar and my slow testing has helped me avoid any more hanging or ctds - actually, I've not had a ctd except for when I was changing too many scenerios in one session, but I've done that before.

Hi Folks,

Often navigating through this awesome website for addons and following your discussion above: would it be possible to have a "Last SU compatible" filter based on the "Compatibility with Sim Update 5 has been confirmed." flag ?

Not so hard to implement I guess and very useful to stop wasting time by clicking on not updated mods.

In my case I no longer want to go with them.

Cheers

I wanted to propose this idea as well. Glad to see a colleague in agreement.

roit!

Very confusing, indeed.

I've been asking creators of add-ons I want to keep using to check and fix it. Some have done it, but most either don't respond (answer or update) or one just told me I can test it out and tick it off as compliant. I'm not a fan of doing their work.

The stuff that causes issues should be removed, I agree. Again, it depends on each creator.

So, the wishes and requests page is pointless. why have it then? What 'website' are you referring to?

This is the wishes and requests page.

Folks are not updating or at least checking out their add-ons to see if they are compatible after SU5. I really wish they would at least have a go with their app and change the delineation to green so we would not have to go through our own redundant efforts to be sure. All I see for older add-ons is a lot of red. The creators on the ball have updated theirs. Cheers.

Flew from Laughlin to Bracketsville, in Texas, to see how the location for the 1960s film, "The Alamo" appears in the sim. Buildings, but nothing discernable. What a great challenge for a scenery maker to bring this place up to snuff.

Current.....

with updates fast and furious, one has to keep up, eh?

This was the livery on the DC-4, used in the High and the Mighty film. I know one of our brilliant creators can adapt it to the DC-6. Cheers! Registration N4665V (Red lettering under wing and on tail above main logo)

Doumo, Sumimasen.

How about putting a Bell 47 category in the helicopter portion of the "Aircraft Liveries"?

This is begging for clever helipad designer to address it..... https://goo.gl/maps/1QNV3oH2TCouufpp9

Currently with KVNY free add-on it reads for planes

It already is a hard rooftop with smudgy photogrammerty (sp) appearance. It's begging for the kind of treatment I've been seeing the great helipad makers giving to Europe. https://goo.gl/maps/62NGf1kYp5i58pkZ6

current situation with DTLA free add-on

The new helicopter is begging for this livery. Thanks to the intrepid maker of a good livery.
