Working with Zendesk and they want me to create a second Xbox profile to test MSFS because they think it is a credential issue. They asked me to provide proof of purchase since I must be a thief (em Microsoft Support you would think they could look up my gamer tag and Hotmail email and trackback all the data that Microsoft has ever collected on me.)
But, I cannot seem to find anywhere in Xbox where I can create a second Xbox gamer tag. Any ideas?
You’ll need a alternate email address for this.
Hi
I am on a PC
The leveries were downloaded from Flightsim.to
I re download them yesterday after ensuring they were marked as compatible with sim update 7
But it is so strange that if I tick them on the addon linker to be displayed then the content manager goes to zeros, the circle don’t stop turning trying to display something. If I untick them the content manager is displayed in a second
Thanks for your concern
Regards
Carlos
Hi
I have 83 liveries for the 747, I’ll try moving them to the community folder directly and will see if the content manager works fine that way
I also thought of re installing the 747
I’ll test that first and if it doesn’t work I’ll move the liveries and test
Thanks

Hi
I redownloaded the plane and tested the liveries from the addon linker and the content manager failed to load
Moved the liveries directly to the comunity folder and the content manager worked
What an odd thing
Thanks
While testing the 747 I decided to go out of Madrid and found this
Does it happen to you too?
Thanks
Carlos
No, I try not to fly into them!!! 
Which direction did you fly?
Out of LEMD?
Let me know and i’ll give it a try and see if I can reproduce it.
Hi yes, out of LEMD southeast.
Actually when you just take off you see like a ray of light in the distance that’s why I head towards it and then turned into that wall
Just checked it again and it is there yet
Thanks for testing
Cheers
Carlos
I hope you don’t mind me asking
So you know why the cockpit in some places look pink?
If you get close to them the come back to normal but if you distance they turn to pink

It’s also at the Nvidia site:

No, I couldn’t find anything.
I flew on a heading of 135 degrees out of LEMD in the 747, and could not find anything like that.
I have seen similar in the sim though, but not in this area.
I have found that often this is from a scenery conflict.
I wonder if you addon linker is playing bad with the sim?
I use symbolic links myself. I keep all my addons in a folder outside the sim structure, and link the ones I want to use in the particular session to the community folder.
There are a few I use in every session, these I leave in the Community Folder permanently.
That keeps the size down in the Community folder, and also prevents conflicts, and speeds up the loading time.
Noted
That is really sad to read as now I need to identify what is causing that, I have around 1.500 addons and makes it boring to test. That’s liveries, freeware, payware and of course Orbx.
I sometimes hate updates becuase of these kind of things
Thank you for checking
How do you do the symbolic link?
I believe it works the same as the addon linker
I wrote to the AL for him to check is something is wrong
I edited the post about to ask about the pink cockpit in case you might know how to fix that if you don’t mind me asking
Thanks
Carlos
That is due to a fallback in the texture structure.
See this link for how to fix it.
It works similar.
Thank you I’m checking
They could feasibly have been broken by the SU7 hotfix so keep an eye out for changes.
The two biggest issues with Australia in the past were - the trees were way too tall, especially around towns, and remote bush tracks in the middle of no-where with default street lighting made the country look like a Disney fairy land.
Trees ae still too tall. have not checked the night lighting.
Overall though, a good patch.

But look at your low latency gaming, there is an issue there, that latency is causing resends, which in turn will cause your ‘melted bldgs’ problem. If you have anti-bufferbloat modem, or qos, see if you can trim the values down a few percentage points until you get 0 score on download and upload active fields.
I figured out the issue here, it seems to be docsis 3.1. I was running a cm1000 3.1 modem, and the also tried the providers 3.1 and had an issue as above, so I reverted back to a docsis 3.0 modem and so far XXX on wood, all my problems have disappeared. So like I said see if you can use the qos/bufferbloat feature on your router to trim your speed pack a few percent, and get those latency scores down to 0-1 …
Interesting will have to play with it I guess. My modem is already 3.0 and my router doesn’t have any anti-bufferbloat features outside of QoS, which ironically makes this “problem” much worse. A+ sub 5ms latency or 100ms added latency makes zero difference in the melted building quality on my end.
While I don’t doubt this has some impact, seems extreme to chase latency to this level just to stream data from a server that can’t even begin to utilize the available bandwidth I have to begin with. I suspect that is probably the biggest issue here, and one that is also that is widely reported.
Download speeds during updates/data streaming are EXTREMELY poor and have been since day one; 10 - 15MBs (100Mbps - 150mpbs) is the best I can get from any of the MSFS services. Steam, movie streaming services, etc can max out my ISP no problem. (600mbs service now, see HIgh 400’s low 500’s on a regular basis) All the tricks tips etc from the thread below have been explored, zero impact.

Not killing my experience, 90% of my flights are non-PG areas, but I do like to explore from time-2-time and it’s a real bummer seeing bombed (everything) with PG on. The Gold Coast is a real disappointment…
Thanks for the pointers regardless.
