What laptop do you have? 15 years ago it was 2009, maybe you can do even better.

If it works with other ATCs (i.e., default, PF3, whatever), it's hard not to blame them.

I use the FG mod, but I can confirm this happens whenever MSFS loses focus. Wow, I gotta give it a try tonight. Did you finally leave it at 0 or 100?

Would be possible to port the default P3D C-130 sounds?

Ouch, this discussion is worse than even P3D Vs MSFS! The other thing I see is that no one is taking about FPS. I'll take it as a good sign. Anyway, now I'm only waiting to see if SU15 wrecks it or not...or until I run out of excuses first😂

And this is how, in the long run, vendors stop offering regional pricing. Already happened with MSFS Marketplace and then Steam down here ☹️

I also pay Premium, but because of YouTube Music. That way, I can keep music in my phone to play when I'm walking or driving. No ads in YT make it a nice perk for me.

Sounds like my issue, Tom. This is what I did, step by step: 1) Right-click on Steam status icon and then select Library. 2) In recent games there should be MSFS. Click in the MSFS picture. 3) Then, between the big green Play button and the "Last Played" date, there should be a cloud with a checkmark. If you have the error, there should be an exclamation sign instead of the checkmark. Click it. 4) There will appear a box with two big options: one about data in cloud and another one about using your local data and overwriting cloud data with that. Choose the latter. Your issue should be fixed...or in the worst case, replaced by getting stuck "checking for updates" as it happened to me 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ (word-not-allowed you, Microsoft!)

Sorry, there is a problem We could not locate the item you are trying to view. Error code: 2D161/2 😞

The notification never offered me these boxes. However, I entered my Steam Library, and from there I got a similar box as the one you described. I just set it to use local data and MSFS stopped reporting this error.

Does anyone see any performance impact? Flight1 no longer has the 30-day refund option so that I could check for myself.

What's the funky thing you see? The dirt on the glass? If so, it may be something in the alpha channel in one of the bitmaps. Sadly I don't have this plane, so I can't tell you which one. And if you remove it, it's possible it's calling it from another path. Check in your texture.cfg all the folders it calls.

Ask your friend to go to Control Panel>Devices and Printers. If Windows can see Monect as a controller, it's very probable it will be compatible with FS9.

Since 2 weeks ago, I'm getting this error message every time I close MSFS. I also have MSFS Steam. Which box? The only thing I could click opened the Steam UI.

True. If you want to splurge and haven't yet purchased MSFS, go for the Premium Deluxe version. That, and maybe any utility for managing your control profiles (i.e., FSUIPC, Axis and Ohs or Spad.Next), and FSLTL if you don't want to fly alone (and want some realistic traffic) and you're good to go. But yes, it's more standalone than FS9, FSX or P3D.
