Asobo L-39 has smoke?

Can't seem to activate or find any areobatic smoke generator for the Asobo L-39 albatross

Is it not included, or has someone managed to find smoke effects for this plane?

If not, I'm unsure how to add a suggestion on the msfs forums, since this plane is iconic with areobatic teams and smokes seems like a no-brainer for this plane

aircraft stalling during default vnav descent [XP12 windows]

When default vnav descent is started, autothrottle goes to idle and disconnects while remaining armed. The aircraft will then follow a correct glide path down.

The autothrottle will remain in idle and off regardless of airspeed

Turning autothrottle back on will cause the throttle to go into TOGA, and once the target speed is exceeded it returns to idle and disconnects

If you leave it like this, the descent path eventually becomes shallow enough that the aircraft loses too much airspeed and stalls. This is a recurring behavior among basically all my aircraft with default vnav and autothrottle.

I built a custom autothrottle lua script to evade this issue, however for whatever reason adding throttle manually causes the plane to try and level off, almost like it wants to decelerate.

In the past this was not an issue, the autothrottle would remain functional, and the glidepath would be maintained.

You can even see it's correct functionality on my magknight 787 video from the past (autothrottle is active and moving the throttle during descent)

Package folder transfer still at 99% even after clean reinstall

I use msfs2024 on steam. During the installation process I set the installation location to my external hard drive, yet 2GB of package folders were installed into my internal drive.

So, I went to library settings to change the package folder location to a custom one on my hard drive. It started transfering then was stuck at 99%. I restarted the game, got the notification it was complete, checked to see the progress was still on 99%.

I thought it needed some extra time for the 1% so I kept my PC on overnight to work through it. I woke up and it was still 99%.

I did a complete reinstall of msfs2024. Not only was the community folder still on my internal drive but I got a notification that the transfer was complete, and yet the transfer was still going! Still at 99% ! Even after a reinstall !? 😭

I'm trying to get my community folder to be on my external drive,
