When I try to open ms2020 or 2024 A XBOX box shows up saying "Let's get you signed in". When I try to sign in it gives the option to use E-mail, phone, or skype. The problem is that there is no blinking cursor so I cant select "email" or anything . When I go to my XBOX app, it shows that it is open so I guess they mean my Microsoft account. Don't know how to tie it all together - how to access my Microsoft account to work as part of the sign in. Hope I've made it clear enough, but I'm old with fewer brain cells. Thanks for any guidance.

Once I remove the flight control lock and move the yoke in the roll direction the yoke deflects to the right about 20-30.degrees. Will not center. (autopilot and pitch trim off), Turniing the pitch trim switch on and engaging the autopilot will cause the yoke to deflect all the way left. What am I missing or doing wrong here? Thanks for any quidance. Jim

Hey Bob, You nailed it. Was off line - how, I don't know. It always amazes me how settings change on their own. Working good now. Thanks for your help. Jim

Marketplace is currently unavailable and also can't access Content Manager. Anybody know what gives here? Jim

Recently got a new computer, and loaded Steam. Selected MSFS and redownloaded the planes I had purchased. Sim was working fine until I had updated various system drivers. Then I couldn't start the sim and would get a fatal error questioning if my hardware could support this app. Couldn't go any further. Tracked it down to GPU driver not showing up in Device Manager. Any how I corrected that problem and can now load the sim ok. Now the problem: When I start the sim (through Steam), it loads ok up to where the screen shows the Welcome, Profile, and Options tabs. Also the world map, Activities, Flight Training, and Market Place blocks. When I select any of these and try to select for example: Options - General Options, Assistance Options, or Control Options (as well as any of the three tabs at top) I get a blurry large box with no image. Can't go any further. I suspect something is missing or I have a corrupted file. If I wind up having to reinstall the sim, how do I do that? Hope I have explained this clear enough. Having a major brain cramp. Thank for any advice. Jim

I had that too. Deleted the working title CJ4 from Community folder. Downloaded and installed the latest version of working title CJ. Fixed the problem. Back to normal Jim

Was climbing out at not too steep an angle when for some reason the stick shaker kicked in. Airspeed was good and even after reaching altitude it kept shaking. Didn't know how to get it to stop. This is the first time I've flown it in P3D. Never had it happen in FSX. Any ideas? Thanks. Jim

Thanks for the info. Jim

I have a question concerning the Flight1 Mustang install procedure for P3D. During the install process I have to check to install in FSX or FSX Steam. There is no selection for P3D. Anyone know how to get around this little problem? Thanks. Jim

Hi Oliver, Thanks for the detailed explanation. Am finally getting it now. Jim

So in other words, when I calibrate my controls within FSX I am actually using Simconnect? I normally use FSUIPC for that purpose but when Eaglesoft updated their Citation X they state that FSUIPC was not to be used. Must use Simconnect. Maybe I'm just making this more complicated than it is. Jim

Thanks for the info Manny. Jim

Hi All, When It comes to simconnect I don't have a clue as to what it is and how to begin using it although I have been using FSX from its beginning. The only reason I'm inquiring about it now is because I just upgraded the Eaglesoft Citation X and they have switched from using FSUIPC to calibrate the throttles to using Simconnect. I would appreciate any guidance on how to get into this thing. I am using the FSX Gold Edition. Thanks. Jim

Hi Jim, I have neither the ENB series nor the SweetFS hack installed so that's not it. I'll try your other suggestions and see what happens. Thanks. Jim

One thing I didn't mention is that when I unselect DX Preview and go back to DX9 all is good. No crashes. Not sure what selecting DX10 has to do with it. Jim
