Please insert your MS Game disk

[vonmar 123]

On one start up I got a screen:

Please insert your MS Game disk

I had to quit, I do not have a Game Disk

 

It took a couple more PC re-boots and start MSFS before I got back into MSFS.

What's going on?

Is everyone supposed to get an Update today?

Usually happens to me on loss of internet connectivity.

The thing I like best about this error message is, even if you did have a "Game Disk" - where would you insert it? Well over 90% of all new computers sold over the past two years - laptop or desktop, do not include any kind of optical drive. And you need a modern computer to run MSFS in the first place.

The error message might as well say "Please connect dot matrix printer to parallel port".

I totally agree with you ! :-)

This kind of printer is really noisy, and where could we find Win 10 or 11 drivers ?
With this, you can use such a printer under Linux !

Note : I'm also joking.

What are you talking about??? I still load some games to my Commodore 64 using my cassette recorder! Including FS2.....get up to date man! 😉

That's why I keep some 3.5" floppy disks handy at all times!

Problems arise when you fumble up the order of disks and can't find where you put disk 506.

It does not work for all, I still have the problem and can not use the SU10 beta, ans I am not alone.
