Eh Chris,

  I upgraded my home pit Fenix (G-ICAJ) paint, for MSFS0204, curious if you'd like me to or if you have plans to do the KTX2 conversions for the dds textures. File structure and thumbnails a bit different too for MSFS2024. Our current MSFS2020 doesn't just drop in.

I know what you mean. I've gone through the same experience with my back surgeries. One you start with a back surgery, at some point you just have to say enough is enough. I was out for so long that I nearly forgot how to fly the Q400. I'm back now, hopefully for a while and gradually learning how to fly again. Fortunately (I guess) I have the Majestic Q400, and FS2crew for it. So this vitual co-pilot is helping quite a bit.

Congratulations to all of Augusts award winners! And as always, thanks to everyone whos logged flights this month.

For anyone experiencing that the cockpit becomes frozen and unresponsive but the sim (MSFS) is still responding it likely has to do with a gauge setting in the experimental options.

Found here:

General Options -> Experimental -> Set USE NANO VG FOR XML GAUGES to OFF

Doesn't seem to work for everyone that I see on google but it worked for me.  I will caution that if you do this after you load into the sim, it loaded the airplane in a engine running state on both engines.  FMC was cleared and most things were turned on but not all in the overhead panel.  Advice is to be careful in your checks.

I never expected to enjoy this aircraft as much as I did on my most recent flight.  Thanks for the recommendation for the instructional material.  I look forward to implementing it.

I found the in game checklists to be good on my first flight.  It's a shame my avionics crashed mid flight.
