The Show FPS display screen activated from Developer Mode now stays on even after Developer Mode is turned off. It didn’t in the past.
This is good. I don’t know when it was changed as I just noticed it not too long ago.
Sadly, there’s still no keyboard shortcut or hotkey to call it up or turn it off during the game. We still need to go thru the Debug pull-down menu under Developer Mode.
Just in case you are not aware.

Like many other friends who have a decent computer but continuously haunted by the “Limited by MainThread “ in RED phenomenon while displaying the FPS under Developer Mode, I tried somethings last weekend that turned it in GREEN, even with about 10 fps increase in average. The result really exceeds my expectation.
My computer is still the i9-11900K CPU with GeForce RTX 3080Ti card and 34-inch (3440 x 1440) Mi monitor. Here’s what I did:
Three days ago, REX Simulations’ AccuSeason Advanced Edition released a technical update patch for bug fixes, etc. However, the automatic update function of the app in my system failed. So I need to perform a manual update by downloading the patch and run to install it.
Sadly, the update patch installation also failed with some “access right” errors, meaning the patch requires to be run with Administrator Right.
So I right-click on the update patch in *.msp format. But there is no “Run as administrator” option available.
Following is what I do to run the patch as administrator: Continue reading
After recent sim update 13, all my session loading time to any airport in Switzerland was untolerably long. I tested to find out that it could take up to 20 mins. Under such circumstances, I had no choice but to break MSFS from running.
Earlier today I noted that Taburet had released an update to “fix the loading issue” of its “Switzerland Austria Roads”. It gave me a cue that the loading time issue I’d been facing could be caused by the “Switzerland Austria Waterflow 2” enhancement from the company as well.
Without much hesitation, the addon was disabled and bingo. The issue was gone.
Hope there will be an update to fix the issue of the Waterflow addon soon.
My last update to the current nVidia driver version 536.23 reminded me about this:
It’s advisable to check the 3D Settings again after the update, even though I have chosen the Express Option which is supposed to keep the last settings intact.
It’s because I encountered many times my settings were somehow changed or reverted to default after the updates. Continue reading
The latest nVidia Driver version 536.23 claimed that it had fixed a potential random crash error in MSFS running DX12 with driver 531.41 and after.
I couldn’t confirm if the fix works or not since my MSFS crashed to desktop (CTD) during startup after I changed to use DX12 with the new driver.
Anyway, here’s how I fixed the startup failure caused by moving to DX12, after confirming that the error couldn”t be solved by rebooting, etc. Continue reading
Last week, I came across an addon called Swiss TLM3D Forest MSFS by Taburet. The company claims that the addon is based on the swissTLM3D datatset, which is the most extensive 3D vector dataset covering the whole of Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein from Federal Office of Topography swisstopo. Since Switzerland is one of the places I frequently flightsimming most, I purchased it without much hesitation.
Followings are three sets of pictures I captured on the runway 26 of Saanen Gstaad Airport (LSGK), showing the surrounding trees with and without the addon (click images to enlarge).

When Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX) was prevalent around 2010s, many addons from Flight One (Flgiht1) Software were my favorites, such as the FSDiscovery.
But since I switched to Prepar3D in mid-2010, I hadn’t purchased from Flight1 any more. It was not about quality. Their products were just somethings not I needed and there were other alternatives.
Surprisingly to myself as well, I didn’t expect I will one day buy from Flight1 again, and especially for MSFS.
AnyoneFly is a new software that allows users “to experience the simulator world in ways one may never have before,” according to the descriptions of the product.
Whatever it says, the one particular feature among its suite of tools that gets the money from my pocket is called the Adventure. 
It’s more or less a Mission engine but Continue reading
Like many friends, my system has an Elgato Stream Deck so that I can minimize the needs of using keyboard and memorizing hotkeys. The device had been working pretty well until recently I found it behaving erratic with intermittent non-responding 
errors when switching profiles.
I tried reinstalling the app and restoring from previous profile backups. I took various ideas and suggestions from the Internet, too. All attempts were futile.
After many weeks of trying, I decided to reinstall everything and create all profiles from scratch again, hoping that would solve the issue.
During re-creating the first few profiles, I eventually found out the real cause behind the non-responding errors that was troubling me. Continue reading
