So it's OK to run to an unaffiliated forum and tell everyone that this is the best thing since sliced bread, but not to tell them that you are having a problem? I prefer to see both sides of the story, and I find that I can usually get a reasonably good overall picture here on Avsim.

Not necessarily. Maybe that's the only position in the room that is available or convenient for his setup.

I didn't have to go through all those hoops, thank goodness, but I'm pleased you now have it working.

I had this problem too, but it appears to have been solved (I hope) by removing the Keyboard assignment of F12 (which is set to "Liveries") and then assigning F12 to "Reset Home Cockpit Camera", as described in a YouTube video by Q8Pilot. Pressing F12 then places my view in the pilot seat.

Yes, and trees growing on concrete slipways and piers in the Mersey estuary!

Thank you, Bad_T and vgbaron. That worked.

When I try to do that I get a message saying "Your organisation does not allow you to place this file here". I've tried every cure for this that I've found through Google, but no success so far.

I'm looking into that one, but as far as I can tell, AddonLinker works fine if you can choose your installation folder. However, some addons - the JustFlight Arrows, for example - simply install into the Community folder without offering to let you choose an alternative, and I don't know how I could override that.

Well, something empties my Community folder every time the sim updates (and other people have reported the same thing), so if it's not the update process that's doing it, why does it happen?

Thanks, I didn't know about that. However, that shouldn't happen if the update process has emptied the Community folder anyway - and it always does empty my Community folder.

Why is that "the most important action" if the update process is going to empty it anyway?

Hi Helmut, I don't think it's a good idea to go for the same type of cable, since I believe that the loosening of the connection is due to the stiffness of the cable supplied and the stresses that it applies to the sockets as the yoke handle is moved. I've gone for a longer and more flexible cable, and I think that a flat cable could possibly be best.

Yes, I've had to replace mine to fix intermittent failure of buttons to respond.

I've managed to start the installation (whether it will go to completion is anybody's guess at present) by opening the Xbox app and trying the install from there. At first I got a message saying "preparing" then I got an error message 0x00000001. On googling this error for Xbox I found a web page https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/help/errors/error-code-0x80073D26 and followed the instructions under "Still having problems". It turned out that the Digital Ownership wasn't installed, so I installed that, and .... so far so good (about 700 MB downloaded so far).

I have the same problem, so I hope someone can offer us a solution.
