The “Shorter Trees” by YankeeMike01 by default increases the tree density to 200%. After playing it for awhile, I prefer to lower it to original 100%.
To make the change is simple. Just copy the “00-asobo_biomes_fallback.xml” from the “vegetation.DEFAULTS” folder, and use it to replace the 200% one in the “vegetation” folder. That will do.
Should you need to go back to the 200% density, simply Continue reading
After nearly two years, my ReShade settings for FS2020 have been slightly changed based on the color tone of FS2024 as follows:

One of the most criticized issues with MSFS2020 is that the trees are oversized and don’t look realistic. There are many different solutions out there. For example, I’ve been using the “Short Height” Vegetation setting in REX AccuSeason Advanced Edition to deal with the issue. It does help a little, but the results are still not ideal.
Until recently, I found an addon in Flightsim.to called “Shorter Trees and Improved Density” by YankeeMike01. I was surprised to find out that it almost perfectly solves the problem of unrealistic oversized trees in MSFS, at least in my case.

Have you ever encountered a situation in which you need to create some Hotkeys for specific actions or custom controls for hardware peripherals? But then you suddenly realize that you have no idea which keys or keyboard combos are available.
Here come at last a complete listing of the UnAssigned Keyboard Keys that I have been wanting to put them together for a long time for references:

In the good old days of FSX and P3D, FSUIPC by Dowson was a mandatory component for the running of FIP Gauges. This is no longer the case with FS2020 and FS2024.
However, I continue keeping it in my system because it is undoubtedly a powerful plugin with a wide range of features for flight simulation configurations.
Recently, I decided to uninstall it because I rarely use it in flightsimming. Besides, I wanted to see if I could get some benefits out of it.

Here are two short videos to share with those who are interested to find out how my newly purchased wireless and attachment-free eye-tracking device AimxyZ are working with FS2020 and FS2024 in my system.
This is with FS2020
The VOR1 and VOR2 on the C172 were initially different as shown in the image below when FS2020 was launched. 
After 18 months or so, the VOR2 had changed to adapt an identical layout of the VOR1, making both gauges look the same.
Now in the new FS2024, the VOR2 on the C172 Basic models has reverted back to use the single-needle version again. Not sure if the instrument is going to follow the path of its bigger brother to become identical to VOR1 in the future or not.
Some MSFS C172 gauge users emailed me not long ago if I could re-develop the single-needle C172 VOR2 for FS2024.
Frankly, I don’t have an answer since FS2024 is still buggy and prone to changes.
However, Continue reading
Still full of frustration when playing the buggy FS2024.
About a month ago, I started getting the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (0x887a0006) error when loading some airports I frequently visited in the past.
The notorious error was reported by many players. Although there are many suggestions for the issue, such as changing the values of some specific registries, etc, none of them helps in my case.
What I am doing now to Continue reading
Despite the differences between FS2020 and FS2024, I am currently using the same profile set of my Stream Deck XL for both simulators.
From the Stream Deck profiles I was describing in Post 846, I set to load a home page called MSFS_INFO_C172 automatically when FS2020 is run.
In order to load the same profile set for FS2024, what I did was to duplicate the same home page and rename it as MSFS_INFO_C172_FS2024, and then assoicate the new page with FlightSimulator2024.exe. 
Now, Continue reading
