"If you're changing the gamertag we created for you at signup (meaning you didn’t choose it yourself), you won’t be charged. For all other gamertag changes, you’ll be charged (fee varies by region and currency)."

I changed my gamer tag early on once and was not charged. But otherwise I read you have to pay for this indeed. Quite a strange policy, I would pay for good addons but just having my gamer tag changed...🤮.

Kind regards, Michael

It's the same name you see when you log in and fly. So all the people around you flying, you see their gamertag

I can see others, but I can't see my own nametag. How do I get it?

That's what happens when you sign up for things and you don't read...

I've changed it to Gollum1960 🙂

Let me see if I can get back to MSFS. Oh boy!

Edited to add: I exited MSFS and got back in with my new ID "Gollum1960". Phew!

I have 0 friends. I am lonely. 🙂

Strange that they charge for something like this. Why not limit it to one change per 6 months or so.
