installed fsltl traffic -- works fine at bigger airports but no general aviation acft. No static aircraft at smaller airfields. Am I doing something wrong here?

Get a list of all the counties in the US and fly to each one in alphabetical order. I got all 3166 using fsx - some with no airports and did water landings, roads or found smooth enough terrain. Took a few years. Started again with MSFS and now up to around 500.

Unable to load saved flights
mjhopkins replied to mjhopkins's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
The flight was from TXKF to GOOY. I created flight plan using the aircraft (A320neo) computer that included all the necessary parameters, including flight speeds, cruise altitude, approach etc... It seemed to be working just fine when I saved it, but immediately went to desktop when I came back and selected the flight (Enroute Gooy) to continue. Found I had no problem saving and recovering two other single engine aircraft flights that really had no flight plan other than departure and destination... Wonder if the more complex flight plan had something to do with it on the Airbus and CRJ?? -
On some aircraft C172 C208 CJ4 for example, the button light no longer lights up to indicate AP NAV HDG, etc... They function, but no indications that they have been selected. They all USED to work and still do on some aircraft, but now not on those I just listed. Anyone else seen this??? I saw an old complaint in FSX, but not applicable to MSFS. Really annoying.... could have been an earlier update, since I might not have flown those above for some weeks.... Anyone???

Can't find .exe file location
mjhopkins replied to Srock's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
Still can't find the .exe file. I can find the Windows Ap folder and several folders and files, but nothing that says it's an .exe file.... found the .cfg and many others but not an .exe Am i missing something? -
GPS flight goes the wrong way
mjhopkins replied to allanj's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
I had a similar thing happen. After saving a flight midway, I came back later and turned on the AI Pilot and it immediately turned around and started flying towards the departure airport! Tried to turn it around but the AI insisted on taking me back to the departure. -
live weather
mjhopkins replied to mjmiller's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
Same problem here -- yesterday I did see some clouds, today everything seems to be severe clear -- even though AWOS says there are 3 layers of clouds and surface vis is only 3 mi! -
Press Any Key To start
mjhopkins replied to mjhopkins's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
Mine did it again this morning. Found that if I tried to sign in to X-Box control companion, i got a message saying I couldn't sign in at this time. Clicked on "sign in with another account" , then signed in using my Microsoft Account info and that allowed me to open the X box Control Companion. Went back to MSFS and it worked fine. I think (not certain) Somehow when you get to "Press any key to continue" the program tries to confirm your identity in X-Box. If you're not signed into X-Box it assumes your not the authorized user of MSFS... Just a guess... -
Press Any Key To start
mjhopkins replied to mjhopkins's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
Ok got it working again.... I loaded X-Box and it doesn't even list flightsimulator as one of my games. I signed into Xbox and changed my profile name and now its working. What's going on?? I think the problem may be linked to the X-Box somehow, but curious why it was working without x-box being active.. -

Press Any Key To start
mjhopkins replied to mjhopkins's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
Hard to say. The last thing I did was (i think) sign into X-box using my Microsoft password then again selected to "repair" the ap. I had also made sure I was running the program as administrator. Hope that helps for you but I did everything possible at some point. Good Luck -

Okay -- after starting over and doing a repair. It's now working -- very frustrating!!! -
Press Any Key To start
mjhopkins replied to mjhopkins's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
Well, so I've reset my Microsoft account, opened and signed into X box, tried a repair and reset.. NOTHING. Now I tried uninstall and reinstall and result is the opening screen is a still shot of a 172 (not the expected slide show) and the words at the bottom of the screen "Press Any Key To Start". Pressing a key causes the screen to go bland and the words about pressing a key and now fading in-and-out. Pressing keys does nothing, nor does the mouse or joystick. What's next?? BTW doing an uninstall doesn't really do much and re-install only takes about 5 seconds. -
I've been running msfs 2020 for a couple of days, including this morning, but now I cant get past the "Press Any Key To Start" slide show. The screen just goes blank for a couple of seconds and then restarts the same slide show no matter what Key i press. Any ideas ? I also tried a computer restart and a complete shutdown with no results..

Setting the local time
mjhopkins replied to mjhopkins's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
I am using LIVE weather, but I saved a flight plan yesterday afternoon that I didn't have time to finish. Today it's saying the flight and UTC are the same. Can't find any way to get the airplane to be on REAL local time. -
Whatever, MSFS2020 is fantastic
mjhopkins replied to Kapitan's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 General Discussion
I agree that flying vfr is great, but there are still many issues: I can'f figure out how to pause a flight, save it, and come back to it later Can' get back to a settings page without exiting FS and re-starting it Flying the 172 with the GARMIN panels, can't find Lat and Lon anywhere Autopilot not functioning properly sometimes not at all Live weagther seems to be always clear skies?? Don't believe it That's if for the moment... It has the potential to be excellent ++ but got a way to go
