To download an aircraft in the marketplace it says "Error - Enable the Stream overlay while in game option"

What does that mean and where is the setting to change?

the steam overlay? that can be enabled in steam > settings > in game > 'enable the steam overlay while in game'.... toggle it ON.

Yes this setting is ON. (was never OFF)

Trying to purchase the Canado CT206 but it keeps saying ""Error - Enable the Stream overlay while in game option"

Trying to reach out to Canado but they only help out if you already have purchased an aircraft.

Try disabling the Steam overlay and enabling it again with the sim closed to see if it fixes it. I purchased the Carenado 206 and the Steam overlay opened without any issues.

Also try opening the steam overlay manually before purchasing and then closing it again, that worked for me this week

Hello james_d

Could you please explain how to open the steam overlay manually as you have done, thanks

There are two Overlays to enable - one for Steam, and one for the game itself.

Thanks Paul K. I will give it a try.

Also set a toggle hot key for it in "Steam Settings/In Game/Overlay Shortcut", after set the key in game test it out make sure its working. If not you maybe need to repair your Steam Install.

Shift + tab is the default while in game. Hope it works
