  1. I refound obsidianant's video and they aren't circular . They are more like Nspoles's suggestion, though not them I don't think. Anyway, those two suggestions will suffice for me so thanks . Where exactly are the Australian ones please?
  2. They look good but the ones I am thinking of were circular. Perhaps they weren't salt pans? I assumed that's what they were. Thanks for the suggestion. Keith
  3. Hi, Does anyone know where the coloured salt pans are, often featured in Obsidianant's YT videos? Thanks
  4. We both were using the stock liveries, but I'll check with my buddy before we try again. Thanks Tim.
  5. Hi all, I am trying multiplayer for the first time with a friend. He set up a group and invited me in. We then started on the ground at a prearranged airport. The problem is that although I could see his nameplate and aircraft he was only able to see the nameplate and also the lights on my aircraft. He couldn't see my aircraft, just the lights and nameplate. I use a stock C172 and he was using a stock Baron. Any ideas why he could not see my aircraft? cheers Stinger
  6. Something that I expect many have already done, I started on various flights to see the seven wonders of the modern world. (With a little help of add-on scenery). So far I have flown the Pyramids of Egypt, Chichen Itsa in Mexico, and a section of the Great wall of China. Next up.....Petra, Jordan. Cheers Stinger
  7. If anyone else has this issue, please vote here to flag it up to Asobo https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/cant-add-intermediate-waypoints-following-sim-update-9/513433?u=sstinger2k2 Thanks
  8. I have been doing some investigations regarding this bug and it seems to be certain add-on airports which are causing it on my system. I have been in touch with Burning Blue Designs as their airports are one of those but they have tested all of their products and cannot repeat the bug. So it only seems to be happening on some people's systems. So hopefully Asobo will look into it. In the meantime Tim Wright's workaround works. Cheers Stinger
  9. Ok, for future reference it appears that I may have completed my email change. I did this through the MS Store profile. In there one can add an additional email address (MS calls them an alias and you can have multiple aliases). Once added I was able to change my primary email address to be the new one and re-login using my new email and the same MS account password. Once logged in through the store with my new email address I fired up the sim and all was fine. So effectively one can have multiple email addresses as long as it's the same MS account. It remains to be seen if any correspondence comes through to the correct email but it was the sim itself I was more worried about losing. Obviously my MSFS account was bought through the MS Store so I'm not sure what would happen if I had purchased the sim through Steam. all good Keith
  10. Yep, this is my problem . I am still looking into it though. I don't want to start over to get over it and may have to retain my old email just for the purpose of the SIM login . Cheers Keith
  11. Hi all, I have changed my email address and need to change my login to the sim to match. Anyone done this successfully? I won't do it if I will need to reinstall the sim. Cheers Stinger
  12. Cheers Tim, i tried that and even restarted the sim with the same result. I'll try again though. Ta Keith
  13. Hi all, Just got back from a short break. I updated (compulsory) to the latest and greatest and have found that I can no longer ADD intermediate waypoints when using the world map default flight planner. That is I choose a starting airfield on the world map, then choose a destination. I used to be able to then click anywhere on the map, a small popup menu appears, then choose ADD to drop in an intermediate waypoint. ADD is still listed in the dropdown but nothing happens when you click it. Anyone else noticed this? cheers Stinger
  14. Ok, stand down. I figured it out. If I engage the autopilot before getting to the first waypoint all is ok. I now need to remind myself how to change the active leg on the flightplan so that I can capture it further down the route if required. Thanks for looking anyway. Stinger
