Thank you Skipp, Ben and john...That gives me confidence that I will not be cut off again. Just for info, I purchased the London Landmarks before I was shut out and I noticed when i got back that the Battersea Power Station had disappeared! However, i found that the London Landmarks had not been installed on my big uninstall and re-install of Flight Simulator, but it rested in the long list of things that had not been installed so I just installed it from the list and lo and behold the Power Station was back and I noticed many improvements on the Thames run...Sunken barges were back on the surface along with many power boats and sailing boats on the river...In fact there is now a Sail boat marina established at the beginning end of runway 27 at London City airport...I now do a morning “Walk” along the Thames in my Robin Cap10 from London City airport following the river to Battersea Power station, which I circle round to reverse my direction to fly back...The whole procedure takes me about 17 minutes and gives me a lot of pleasure!

Does anyone know how to open the doors / canopy in MSFS2020? I'm sure someone gave me the answer to this before, but I can't see a key assignment for it. :poke:

I don't think the standard exit commands actually work. The Rapide has the door coded with the usual default code, but it doesn't work. All the add-on aircraft I've tried with opening exits use custom code and click spots.

That would make sense then. I got the canopy on Dino's MB using the levers inside the aircraft. :thumbsup:

Cheers Ben. I won't have chance to download for a couple of days. Hope they haven't broken too much this time. :lol:

I have just got the Gaming Services block to Flight Simulator and I can’t find a way of getting rid of it….It was all going so nicely too!

So far it has worked well for me.

Excellent locations for late evening/night (UK time) live flights in beautiful VFR conditions (i.e. Arctic summer) :thumbsup:
