A head's up, I recently saw that Simbrief has added a profile for the MSFS A320 with the Neo engines.

I posted a similar message in the Orbx forums; it's a known issue. https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/189969-openlc-africa-polygons-mesh-problems/ There is a similar post in LM's P3D support forums, too. https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6314&t=134662&p=202207&hilit=FMMI#p202207 In ess...

It would help your hub staff - and may get your tour awards faster - if you e-mail them at the end of the tour with a list of PIREPs and a URL for each PIREP. Something like: UAL398 KLAX KSFO http://virtualunitedairlines.org/index.php/pireps/view/238757 UAL1093 KDEN KLAX http://virtualunitedairlines...

What's the best way for MSFS pilots to file vUAL PIREPs?
