Yes, it took me over an hour to get my idewinder working.

i am still figuring out how to get a top-down view and being able to slew with thr joystick.
Hi George, you need to be in developer mode and have the developer camera switched on. Once you have that done you need to create a project, and in scenery mode, when you click on "load in editor" it puts you in a top down view. I only discovered this by going through DragoB's tutorial.

Haven't even tried multiplayer yet. I think it may need the Xbox app, but could be wrong.

My Mistake, Gary had said I should hold down the ALT Key and use the mouse. not CTRL. I haven't tried it yet myself George.

No worries Ben.

I have a model of Penshaw Monument which I would like to place in 2020.

This is it in FSX (needs a flatten ;) )

As far as I can tell multiplayer 'just works' in the World Map before you fly you click on the Flight Conditions box top right. You can then select between All Players, which is a free for all, Live Players, which should have the same settings as you, or Off, in which case you'll only see people in the same group as you. You form groups by inviting people to be your friend, and then inviting them to the group, all under the icon of a persons head to the left of the bell.
You'll find most people around the included airports as far as I can tell.
You don't need any other apps, not sure why it sin't working for Rick.

Rapide. Gauge issues with this one and the cockpit mouse rects are not working.

Right you pair! What’s the folder structure? I’ve spent more time in developer mode and none flying. 😁
