Me too. I can just move it out if something crashes and piece by piece stuff back in. Not ideal…but also not bad either.
Blue Nosed Bastards is a really good one to start with. It’s done with the Normandy map, so a little more FPS friendly. There is a little LUA edit to make the Mustang’s carburetor ram air control work. Critical for high altitude perf,
It will be interesting what sort of campaign Greg will be releasing for the Mossie. I think that it’s in the can, waiting for the gate keepers to release it. He’s working on an F-4U campaign as well for the WW2 version of the Marianas map.

Farging ice hole, I am.
How about that Sim Update 6?
I could never do that! In fact, I don’t work.
I just found an airline that let me fly their aircraft and then they actively support my flightsimming by givng me money every month.

For no reason other than to feed my X-Plane depression I went to flightsim.to to check out the H135. 365,000 downloads! With such scale, how can anything survive in the same ecosystem? But then it occurred to me that it has happened before. XP came about during the height of MSFS. Through every subsequent version of both sims, MSFS consistently looked better and offered a more refined experience than XP. But XP survived. The relationship between the two sims only changed briefly with the MS Flight fiasco. At that point X-Plane 10 and 11 could legitimately claim dominance. So now we are back to the old equilibrium. Last year I thought this would mean “curtains” for XP. But now I have hope that there is room to survive as the ugly kid at the prom so long as the kid continues to show charm and hold his own on the floor with an occasional worthy move. Well here’s hoping anyway…

XP has had a very small development team. For years it was just Austin.
I’m guessing their development cost is a fraction of MSFS.
In other words, they don’t need the same amount of users to survive.
Looking forward to XP12.

There were 28 changelogs for this mod. The counter goes up also when the users re-download the addon after an update comes out. So I would estimate the mod got around 20k unique downloads…? Dunno. Still an impressive number, though.
I think pretty much everyone here will buy XP12 when it comes out, I know I will anyway. I think they’ll do ok.
I think simmers are too opinionated (in a good way) for a monoculture to take hold and for one evil ring to destroy all others.

Thanks for the link. According to that article…
“Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet: *Our first military jet and a highly requested feature from the community. The Top Gun: Maverick expansion will release with the movie next Spring, but we wanted simmers to have the opportunity to test their need for speed this holiday.”
Good marketing move on their part.
Hopefully ED’s “whole world” thing-a-ma-bob will come to fruition while I’m still young; so I can do military stuff in military aircraft anywhere on planet Earth.

soooo, did a quick flight around Zermatt low and slow, but the terrain morphing is quite heavy down low. is there a way to reduce it somehow?
or its a common issue not yet addressed by Asobo? (at least thats what I found people are saying online)
It depends on settings, right?

I dont think so. this is reported by many users with different settings, even people with ULTRA settings experiencing this
here link to official forums, there seems to be only thirt party fixes for now, nothing official yet. I am bit of disappointed 
I really dont want to say that the other sim is better 
Doing flights over mountainous terrain, eg. between Innsbruck and Zurich, the mountains are continually popping and changing shape - others have described it as “morphing”. This came into existance after the USA update and has persisted through the UK and now the Nordics update, with the Nordics being the most noticeable and worst. This effect is very off putting as even if you try to ignore it, your eye is drawn to each mountain as it pops into a different shape.
*UPDATE THANKS TO CHAOTICSPLENDID: *
*It appears that these freeware mesh packages (such as this AUSTRIA 10m DEM - High Resolution Terrain Elevation Data from LIDAR Imaging » Microsoft Flight Simulator 11) are using BGL heightmaps instead of CGL, so it’s not placebo. The LOD is handled in a different way in BGL files which is why there is much less morphing compared to the default mesh.
that mentioned 3rdp fix
