Hello,

 

You may have a look at that topic to see if it solves your issue.

Yes I saw that thread. Reinstall did not help. The dev then seems to say it's a user issue, "user running software that strips DRM rights from 3rd party music". Well, I don't have any software like that and secondly, I was running version 2.0 with the FO addon pack just fine yesterday!

 

 

I was running version 2.0 with the FO addon pack just fine yesterday!

 

Something changed on your system.

 

What did you install on your system between today and yesterday?

 

If you updated your drivers, make sure no other audio related programs were installed at the same time.

Unfortunately, nothing. Did a 10hr flt yesterday, got up,installed v. 2.1 and flew. Just after takeoff, CTD. The only thing I did different was I started with the Scandinavian FO but changed it during preflight process to the German one.

That wouldn't have made a difference.... changing the FO that is.

 

May have just been a one off thing.

I uninstalled the 777 and FO. Will do a fresh install and try again tomorrow.
