This program can be a real POS at times, i get the no cd error on start up and next reboot the sim defaults and wipes out all of my control assignments in SIM, I just could not be bothered re doing them all, why must they make these things so complicated could have at least implemented a controller backup

Must really be difficult being software/game developer these days... Often, users blame the developers/games for being unstable or badly developed, when it's actually their system, which is to bl

right so we are to blame if the insert cd message comes up out of the blue and then the sim completely resets to default

Have you ran DDU(Display Driver Uninstaller)? You can't swap GPUs and just install drivers hoping for the best. Drivers leave a lot of registry entries that need the be properly cleaned out.

I also had the "please insert game disk" error today. It took me quite a while to repeatedly sign out and in of ms game store and x-box app until it finally worked again. Seems like MSFS has these stupid hickups from time to time ...

I am now battling a 'game will not start' message from the Xbox app.  I can't get in at all.  Not uncommon apparently, but the list of things to try is quite long.

All I did was swap my graphics card and install the latest drivers, and fragile little MSFS has fallen over again! 

Everything else works fine...  COH, Cyberpunk, The Expanse, it's just MSFS.

This.. doesn't make any sense at all. Surprisingly 4090 is the only 40 gen card I would suggest getting if you had the money.

Indeed. Despite the mighty cost, it's the only one where the performance / specs / price actually line up, unlike its siblings.

Never had any of these issues in 3 years / 1300 hours... but I have the Steam version. I had my logbook wiped with SU5 and SU7 though.

It seems that the MS Store version has always been problematic.

Often, users blame the developers/games for being unstable or badly developed, when it's actually their system, which is to blame. System corruption due to virus/malware, corrupt system files, un-updated OS or drivers etc, which is to blame for their issues.

But of course, it's never the customers system or actions. It's much easier and convinient, to blame someone else. It must be someone else's fault.
