I posted the same problem not that long ago. By following a suggestion near the end of this thread I managed to get logged in: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/683066-server-issue-detected/

Tried unplugging the Alpha yoke but that made no difference but by using the "unelegant" solution, I was finally able to log in. Thanks!

I am signed into Windows 11 (25H2) using a Local Account. Opened the Xbox app and signed in. Checked another MS app (Word) and it shows I am logged in to my MS account. I am not using any windows customizing utlities. Still, whether I launch FS2024 from the destop shortcut, from Steam or from the Xbox app, when FS2024 asks my to sign in, I am locked out from entering anything in the box that is asking for my email addrss or phone number. If I click in the sign in box, the words "Enter email or phone number" flash but I cannot enter anything whether I use the keyboard or a copy paste. Thanks for your help so far, Jonathon but I am still totally puzzled by what is going on.

Thanks Jonathan. Will give your suggestions a try tomorrow.

Tried a reboot or three. Tried full screen and windowed modes. Still no joy. Stumped. Good thing I kept FS2020.

I bit the bullet a few hours ago and bought FS2024 (Steam) while keeping my FS2020 intact. When I launch FS2024, I am being asked to sign in to my Microsoft account but I am unable to enter anything into the sign in box. Could it be that the server issues being reported here are prohibiting me from signing in?

I said in a thread a couple months ago that I planned to wait at least 3 months before buying FS2024. Based on what I'm seeing in this forum the launch is even worse than I thought it would be so now I'm thinking more like 6 months. Just not worth the hassle when FS2020 is perectly flyable and still impressive.

I use a webcam with the Beam Eye Tracker and OpenTrack. Works great for me. https://beam.eyeware.tech

New releases are always buggy so I never rush into a new install. My plan is to wait at least three months.

I don't use a headset with SI. Instead, I feed ATC audio to a small, separate speaker and I've attached a small lavalier style microphone to my yoke.

Thanks for the update, Rich. The "Twinkie" looks great and eagerly awaiting the purchasing problems to get sorted.

I've held off puchasing until the installation problems get sorted. Any news on that front?

I find it hard to believe that a well-established dev like vFlyteAir or a well established flight sim store like Simmarket would be perpetrating any kind of scam. What would either of them ever hope to gain from something like that? Bet its just early release bugs that get sorted out quickly.

Agree totally. I just can't fly without it anymore. FWIW, my son is a RW pilot and a flight simmer. When I showed him SIAI he was very impressed. That said, while traffic in SIAI is way ahead of what is was, it is work in progess to be rolled out incrementally.

Thanks I 'l give the reg edit a try. As mentioned, I only see this very occasionally and when I do it is only with MSFS in DX12. And it nothing new. Its popped up from time to time when I had a 3080Ti, then on a 4070Ti Super and now on a very new 4080 Super. I'm not over-clocking the 4080 and I'm on the latest driver (555.85). I am using DLSS and FG with the latest versions of both (DLSS 3.70 and FG 3.71). So thanks again, I'll try the regdit and let you know. Could be a while, though, as, like I said, this only pops up very, very occasionally.

The old DXGI_ERROR_HUNG message presented itself today for the first time in a long time. I only see this very occasionally and only with MSFS when running DX12. This is the first time I've seen it since the SU15 update which is the reason I bring it up now. Has anyone else seen this since SU15 and was this something SU15 was supposed to fix?

Duh! Bet that's it!

I've run JustFlight installers many times and I have no clue what CF means.

Just a gentle little dip, now. Nothing to be concerned about. KHQM is one of my favorite west coast airports. Nice work!

In the Beam app: Head tracking output = Head & Gaze Head Tracking Yaw Range 65 Head Tracking Pitch Range 65 Eye Tracking Responsiveness 5 Eye Tracking Yaw Range 10 Eye Tracking Pitch range 10 In OpenTrack under the filter tab: Responsiveness: Position 1.00/Rotation 1.00 Drift speeds: Position 1.90/Rotation 1.90

I had exactly the same experience with Tobii so I returned it for refund. I thought it might be due to my curved widescreen monitor. Instead, I'm using Eye Beam and so far after about three weeks with it I am really pleased.

This cheapie from Amazon is working perfectly for me.

I used a light meter app on my phone to measure room lighting. I measured the light level between my eyes and the camera lens and I had no problem using Beam at a light level of 5 Lux (0.5 foot candles). It may depend upon your camera specs. I don't have a very expensive webcam but the blurb that came with it says it has "automatic low-light correction".

I suppose there could be an issue with poor lighting and/or a bad camera angle but I've had no issues whatsoever with the Beam eye tracker while wearing glasses. I have my camera positioned on the top of my Honeycomb yoke about .6 meters from my eyes.

I wear glasses all the time when simming and I've found no problem with eye tracking.
