Been getting my feet wet w/ FS2020 the last few weeks after a 25 year hiatus :D. Overall I'm pretty blown away. I'm hoping they keep supporting it over the years because the potential is huge with VR (which I havn't tried yet), etc. A few questions I have though are: Are there any winter runway replacements? They're just too white, even at some major airports, to the point where you can't even distinguish them until you're right over the airport. Makes looking for it while fly VFR pretty unrealistic and frustrating. Is there a way to remove some things, like tree's that are unrealistically growing right before the runway on the approach path? I hit one that ended my flight at an airport I know that doesn't have any. I haven't tried turning ground vehicles off, I'm assuming you can. They're cool and all, but for the most part they just get in the way!. What upgrades or setting should I try to fix some of these issues? Kevin

I'm sure this topics been beaten to death, but what are some go to sites for free IFR data that is kept fairly current? looking for sid/star routes for Canadian/us airports. I discovered skyvector already thanks to flightsim.com.

what blows my mind is how much those old computers cost, especially in today's dollars.

I played the snot out of FS95/98 etc. 25 years ago. I haven't touched it in 25 years but FS2020 re-ignited the spark for me. Anyways, I have some really simple and stupid questions. First off, am I just old or is every game these days un-navigatable (not just FS2020)? I can't seem to do simple things like load a plane, and an airport. I don't want ATC, Flightplans, etc. Just drop off at meigs Field like back in the day, or any airport for that matter. Choose plane, Choose airport. Why would MS make such a simple thing so hard? I'll eventually make my own IFR flightplans and use nav's myself, and I do plan on joining vatsim eventually, but I need to shake the rust off first and get back in gear. I couldn't even find out how to post a topic on the official FS2020 forum, lol. it wanted me to download an xbox app, and then one thing led to another and it gave me a weird username, and then wouldn't let me login or start a new topic. So here I am!. Also, I'm being shown that there is a "World Update:Canada" available... I think it's XI or IX or something, but I am not being shown anything beyond World Update VI in the content manager. where's VII, VIII, etc? Sorry for the stupid noob questions, haha. The fourteen/fifteen year old me would have easily solved these, but I think I'm being left in the dust by new tech/jargon. I don't really have interest in any games period except FS2020 so I'm a little out of the loop with simple things.
