@CaptainCoop779 I have moved this thread to the appropriate forum category for discussing #third-party-addon-discussion:aircraft

Usually issues with 3rd party aircraft are to be reported to the developer of the aircraft as the #bugs-and-issues:aircraft-systems category is for core sim items.

More information about the bugs category can be found here:

To anyone with this issue, this fixed it for me for now:

Wherever MSFS is installed to \AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_ 8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages

Search for your aircraft and open that folder. For example “PMDG-aircraft-dc6”

REMINDER: That might be a cosmetic/placebo/ effect, but i read some positive comments deleting them, as I mentioned earlier.

Delete/Remove/Rename the “m-files” ONLY, do not touch the “work” folder !!!
The m-files will be recreated on next start of the respective aircraft.
