I went from 531.29 to 536.23 and haven't encountered any problems but I use DX11 not DX12.

This solution was posted by mamu82 in another thread and fixed it for me: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18sSh6XaDL9cUyKsy53zN96cxRUb0JCyr/view?usp=sharing Just download and place this exclusion triangle in your community folder.

Using DX11 TAA I used the 528.49 drivers for months and never encountered the (nvwgf2umx.dll) crash but after installing driver 531.68 it happened twice within a few days so went back to 528.49 and haven't had a problem since.

This is what I didn't do: 5. In your list of purchases, you'll need to find the receipt for the BASE GAME (i.e. 'Microsoft Flight Simulator Premium Deluxe bundle') If you select the receipt for the DLC instead (i.e.'Microsoft Flight Simulator- XXX Credits) Steam will automatically reject your refund request. I had selected the duplicate DLC instead. My concern now is that if I select the Base Game MSFS Premium Deluxe I'm afraid Steam will issue a $22 refund for the duplicate DLC but then delete MSFS from my PC...yes I'm now paranoid. I'm going to just write it off as a learning experience and move on.

I did all of the following per MS but still received the same "We cannot grant a refund at this time." response from steam: HOW TO CONTACT A STEAM SUPPORT AGENT TO REQUEST A REFUND 1. Open Steam 2. Click on your username 3. go to Account Details 4. View Purchase History 5. In your list of purchases, you'll need to find the receipt for the BASE GAME (i.e. 'Microsoft Flight Simulator Premium Deluxe bundle') If you select the receipt for the DLC instead (i.e.'Microsoft Flight Simulator- XXX Credits) Steam will automatically reject your refund request. 6. Select "I have a question about this purchase." 7. Sum up the issue. Don't forget to include the screenshot of this email and the proof you were charged twice. The best practice seems to be buying the Steam wallet credits prior to purchasing inside the MSFS Marketplace Already had Steam wallet credits from a gift card.

I paid with Steam Wallet credits from a gift card not PayPal.

I purchased Digital Design's Lyon from the MSFS Marketplace yesterday but received a purchase failed error message so ordered it again and it went through but I was charged twice by Steam. When I contacted Steam they sent me this: We cannot grant a refund at this time. In-game item purchases are not refundable if any items in the purchase have been consumed, modified, or transferred. When I contacted MS I received the following: We do not have access to Steam's account and billing system to refund erroneous or duplicate purchases, but Steam Support can do it on our behalf so I once again contacted Steam and attached the MS response but again received the same Steam response as above. So guess I’m stuck paying $44 for a $22 item but lesson learned and I will never purchase another item from Marketplace.

Bitdefender works for me.

From AIG to....never mind, I'm happy with AIG.

I never see any ads on AVSIM...guess Bitdefender is doing it's job! 😀

No glut of 3080's...The Dallas Metroplex area Best Buy stores have been out of 3080's for several months and the few they receive in stock sell immediately and at Amazon they are way over priced.

This is from the Carenado Facebook page: Version 1.1 CARENADO PC12 MSFS RELEASED -Fixed bug that causes battery draining. -Fixed weight and balance default loading configuration. -Fixed GPS approach capability with GP using GTNxi. -Fixed fuel pumps initial condition. -Improved IAS indication, corrected for temperature. -Improved electrical system logic. -Improved FPS performance. -Implemented new EHSI display features. -Implemented fully functional GPU. -Other minor bug fixes.

I often fly 1-2 hour flights with the PC12 and have never encountered this bug. I do power off the Avidyne system before each flight so perhaps that is the reason. I also start my flight on the runway with the engine running.

DX11 and DLSS (Quality) with the new game ready driver. My RTX3070 temp dropped 20 degrees.
