Installer fixes: on German and other non-English Windows the installer crashed at once, and many users reported that it couldn't find their MSFS 2024. Nothing else has changed: if 0.1.0 installed fine for you, there is no need to update.

Changes

  • Works on non-English Windows: the installer crashed right at the start with a UnicodeDecodeError and a TypeError (argument of type 'NoneType' is not a container or iterable). It also reads folder paths with accented letters correctly now, such as a user name like Jürgen.
  • Finds more installations: in the Xbox app, you can choose your own folder for your games. The installer only looked in XboxGames until now. It now finds the folder you chose, and the game under any folder name in the Xbox app's and Steam's game folders.
  • Asks when it can't find the sim: enter the folder with FlightSimulator2024.exe, the one where you installed ReShade. You can also drag FlightSimulator2024.exe into the installer's window.
  • Asks when it can't find your Community folder: until now, it skipped the EFB app without asking, which turned off the METAR features. Press Enter to skip it, as before.
  • The uninstaller asks the same way when it can't find them.
  • Clearer errors: if the installer runs into something it didn't expect, it says so in one line and saves the details to installer-error.txt, which you can attach to an issue.

Installing

  1. Install ReShade 6.8 or newer, the build with full add-on support, for MSFS 2024, and start the sim once with it.
  2. Close the sim, download AtmosphereMod-0.1.1.zip below, unzip it anywhere (not into the Community folder) and double-click Install AtmosphereMod.cmd. Installing over 0.1.0 is fine: your tunables.ini is kept.
  3. Start the sim.

See the README for details, the settings and the known limitations.

Use at your own risk. AtmosphereMod has been developed and tested on a single PC. On other hardware or drivers it may not work, may show graphical errors, may crash the sim or may cost performance. Ctrl+Shift+F9 switches back to stock at once, and the uninstaller removes everything it installed.
