A friend of mine and I are having the same problem. After we make trim adjustments to make an aircraft fly level or straight we get the correct response but then the plane reverts to its old atttitude.I'm on a PC with a CH Fighterstick and he is on Xbox.Has anyone had this problem and found a solution? Thanks and keep the green side down.

I'm 83 and I have been with MSFS, and all the iterations, from the beginning. My previous builds were not state of the art, but state of what was affordable. Not this time! Not all components are the very very best, but those that count are. The performance is all I could hope for. Ultra settings on an ultra-wide 3440x1440 monitor makes flying in MSFS so immersive you can smell the hot engine oil. Really! I ended up getting a Founders Edition RTX 4080 at Best Buy at MSRP. The 4090 may help in VR but the 4080 renders MSFS with room to spare in my opinion. Here is my list. Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow, white, 6 fans CPU: Intel Core i9 13900K MB: Asus Prime Z790-A PSU: EVGA Supernova 1000W G6 80 Plus Gold Cooler: Cooler Master Liquid ML240 RGB Memory: Corsair Dominator Platimum DDR-5 32gb 5600 C34 RGB Storage: 1T Samsung 980 Pro MVMe SSD 1T Samsung 970 MVMe SSD GPU: Founders Edition Nvidia RTX 4080 Monitor: LG QHD 34 GP83A Ultrawide

I have pretty much decided on this monitor but would love feedback from someone who has actually used it.

I'm upgrading to an RTX 4090 GPU and an Intel i9-13900K CPU for MSFS. I had planned to upgrade my 27" 2K monitor to 4K but the proponents of ultrawide have me interested. Does anyone have experience with both?

Ordered, along with an Intel i9-13900K. I'm 83 and have been with MSFS for 40 years. I have built 3 rigs on the cheap. Not this time. Spending the kids inheritance on something worthwhile.

I have decided on the Asus ROG Strix XG349C ultrawide monitor. Both choices are 2K, G-sync compatible and offer HDR. I will be watching pricing closely. I chose the 4080 12GB based on price and that NVIDIA indicates MSFS will perform almost equally on all 4090 cards. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/rtx-40-series-graphics-cards-announcements/ It will be interesting to see the benchmarks. It was significant that NVIDIA featured MSFS during the announcement presentation and in their marketing. It appears that the "Game of the Year" title and the addition of the x-box platform has given our sim the needed mass to be a recognized tier one game. Although an 850W PSU is probably adequate I intend to overclock so a 1000W room heater makes sense. Not a big price difference anyway. Good catch on the case. I will be sure to check to make sure everything will fit.

This new rig is designed to run MSFS2020 on a 3440x1440 monitor. either Monitor: Asus ROG Strix XG349C or LG 344 GP 83A Case: Corsair 400D airflow PSU: 850W EVGA, 80Plus gold MB: Asus Prime Z790-A CPU: Intel i713700KF GPU: GeForce RTX 4080 12GB if available or RTX 3080 12GB if available or RTX 380 10 GB Memory: 32 GB 2x16 Corsair Vengeance DDR5 5600 C36 Storage: 2-1T Samsung EVO Pro SSD M.2 Cooler: Cooler Master ML240L OS: Win 11 I would appreciate your feedback. I would hate to make a blunder. Bill Buxton

I'm having the same problem. Very annoying,

This worked for me. https://www.howtoedge.com/fix-microsoft-store-error-0x87e00017/

I'm in a similar jam. I have done two clean installs. MSFS2020 runs fine one time only. Then the icon is gone. Now I can't even do an install of the digital licence or the sim. Such a shame. Everything ran great until the last update. All the help apps go in a circle .

Try taking off your sunglasses.

Thanks for all the input. I did a good bit of research and after looking at monitors decided to go with a 27" (2k - 2560x1440 - WQHD) Asus PB278Q. I didn't have room for a 32" but this fits perfectly. I used the Win 10 feature to up scale to 125% and everything looks and reads just like my old 23" unit. The increase in size and resolution is a definite upgrade. P3D looks great and my GTX 970 is able to handle the extra pixels with no problem. 4K will probably become rather standard in the future but 2K is a nice managable upgrade for now.

My 23" 1920x1080 monitor crash landed after many years of service. I'm thinking of replacing it with a 27" 2K 2560x1440 monitor. I have an i7-6700K CPU and an Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 GPU. Good investment or would I be better sticking with standard HD. Thanks

I installed the 970 and I'm very pleased with the results. GPU usage is down to 30% running two monitors. The system I have isn't the strongest but it seems nicely balanced and will do nicely until I upgrade my MB and CPU. Thanks for the help with this decision. It was a good one.

Thanks for the advice about the warranty and step-up program. I did read the the full post you mentioned. It is a valuable cautionary tale. I hope everyone contemplating a GPU upgrade sees it. I think I will be OK with the 970. I have a decent system that gives me good results but it's clear the GPU could be a little stronger. I'll report on how it works out.
