Downwind66. Have you downloaded the aircraft in question and tried changing the ui_manufacturer=TDS737MAXV3 in FS2004? The whole point is: if you do change it from the above the aircraft WILL NOT show up in the FS2004 aircraft listing at all. My example shots where just showing how I like my aircraft files to show up. I change the file name so there is consistency in the Windows folder; to get the same consistency in the FS2004 aircraft listing the " ui_manufacturer= " field has to be changed in the aircraft.cfg file The problem is not WHAT to change, it is that TDS in V3 have introduced protection that stops the aircraft from being listed in the FS2004 aircraft listing if the "ui_manufacturer= " field is altered in any way.

Hello Downwind66, the whole problem is if the " ui_manufacturer=TDS737MAXV3 " is changed in any way the aircraft does not appear in the FS9 aircraft listing. Previous TDS aircraft did not have this "protection". Why is it felt necessary now? I suppose it is TDS's privilege to put any features they like in their creations, it is freeware, as users we have to like it or lump it. However I would have felt developers (freeware or payware) would like to see their aircraft downloaded and used by the greatest number possible and, in my opinion, this degree of protection will severely limit the number of people that will use this aircraft (good as it is).

I downloaded the new TDS 737 max9 v3, it is a nice model but I am unable to change the aircraft.cfg file so it fits in with my naming convention; if the " ui-manufacturer=* " is changed in any way the aircraft does not appear in the FS2004 aircraft listing. My convention is as follows. In the file listing: And this appears as follows in the FS2004 internal aircraft listing: Thanks TDS for the excellent freeware, but why do you now find it necessary to introduce this extra "feature", I presume to stop your cerations from unauthorized copying?

Must have been awesome seeing a cruise liner heading to Florida at 5000' ;)

While I admit slightly off topic, the reason for the quiz was to highlight what Nels Anderson pointed out re the name; simply calling it Microsoft Flight Simulator will not suffice. As Nels said a convention will develop over time. Incidentally the answer re which version of Microsoft Flight Simulator the scenery (Instrument Pilot's Scenery East U.S.) was for is also printed on the ring binder: "For use with Microsoft Flight Simulator (Version 3 or newer) and SubLOGIC Flight Assignment: A.T.P." Back on topic regarding what rig will run the new MFS (Nels Anderson nomenclature) we will have to wait and suck it and see, but if not running in cached mode internet download speed will obviously be critical. At the moment there are just too many variables to make a prediction. Variables such as what is a minimum acceptable frame rate: 12.5 FPS ? 30 FPS ? Are you running cached or in cloud download mode? What features are turned on and at what complexity? I guess we will just have to wait and see.

I just pulled a ring binder from my book shelf, it's entitled: Instrument Pilot's Scenery East U.S. IBM Compatibles for use with Microsoft Flight Simulator Who can guess what version of Microsoft Flight Simulator it's for? Two clues 1 it's by subLOGIC 2 The Jeppesen approach charts came in a ring binder, the software on a 3-1/2" disk

Does any body know more about the slated sim? see: https://gearnuke.com/microsoft-flight-simulator-announced-for-2020-release-on-pc-and-xbox-one/ "Microsoft Flight Simulator should evoke some nostalgic feelings for long-time PC gamers and Microsoft is bringing it back with some cutting-edge visuals in a brand new game. Microsoft dropped the announcement about a new Flight Simulator during their E3 2019 showcase. Watch the announcement trailer below to get a glimpse of this new game." Any of you gals or guys in the know?
