FStarter24 openStreetMap blocked

Featured Replies

Hi simmer fellows,

I just purchased Fstarter24 v2 from Simmarket. When starting this utility it opens a window covered with map tiles each of them numbered 403 saying : Access Blocked App is not following the tile usage policy of OpenStreetMap's of volunteer-run servers osm.wiki/blocked. A web search about this issue led me to conclude that Fstarter24 is overusing OpenStreetMap's servers.  Have you, Fstarter24 users, found a solution to this problem. Otherwise the application runs fine.

Encountered the same problem today, previously it was working fine.
Didn't find a solution... yet.

Win11 Pro 64-bit, Ryzen 5800X3D, Corsair H115i, Gigabyte X570S UD, EVGA 3080Ti XC3 Ultra 12GB, 64 GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600. Monitors: LG 27GL850-B27 2560x1440 + Samsung SyncMaster 2443 1920x1200, HOTAS: Warthog with Virpil WarBRD base & hegykc MFG Crosswind modded pedals, TrackIR4, Rift-S for VR

I can confirm that LittleNavMap's OpenStreetMap feed is working, as a point of reference.

Same for me. But in Fstarter24, no.

It's pretty useless the way it's right now, money down the drain.

Contact developer to sort this out.

Good idea, thanks. I did send a mail to the developer 3 hours ago. So far no answer, let's wait.

Fstarter24 has been updated by Roar, the developer of this utility.  Go to Fstarter24 Menu and click on update to download the new executable. The OpenStreetMap is now showing correctly.

Kudos to Roar for a quick fix.

I am not sure I know how to do it, either!   I'm fairly sure a mod can do that @charliearon

Done  I did a tag instead of editing the title.  Members have 2 hours only to edit posts or titles.
