This isn't actually CTD but just as stressful to my 83 yr-old brain. I have been enjoying MS2020 for five years. I got a new PC, connected to Steam and seamlessly continued flying around. The one day I got the above "lets get you set up..." message and ended up losing all my original setup preferences. I couldn't find any way of restoring the originals and managed to rig up a poor substitute. Yesterday it appeared to download World Update 21 but the key-mappings were all haywire, even after restarting. I tried copying all the appdata/roaming files from my old PC. Steam then forced me to get a 111Gb update and now all my world updates are showing "owned" but not installed. I could live with reinstalling these updates, but when I change my key-mappings (and save) the changes are not implemented. Very frustrating. Is there a way to fix this? Or will I need to uninstall then reinstall?

Great, that fixed it! Many thanks, Dusk. 😀

I got an big Oled TV as a monitor but was not impressed with the 4k resolution and intend to return it to the store. So I reset the Resolution back to my old monitor 1920x1080 and the Render Scaling to 50 (for a resolution of 1920x1042) and pressed f11 to Apply and Save. Then I reconnected my old monitor, but MSFS loaded in 4k so I can only see a corner of the screen now on my old monitor. I can't change the display options , F11 won't work, and I can't even exit MSFS2020 without using Task Manager. I reconnected the Oled TV and the 1920x1080 settings were still there. I had switched settings for other Steam games, and they have returned to 1920x1080, no trouble. Only MSFS is giving me problems. Is there some other setting I have missed? Or is there a config text file I can modify? ( I have looked for this but with no success)

Sorry in advance - this is probably an old chestnut but I'm having no luck with my forum searches. Here's my problem. My freeware Agusta 109a helicopter is unresponsive when I first select it in FSX. I have to slew, rise up and unslew to crash it. From then on it works perfectly, including subsequent landings and takeoffs. I've also had this same problem with some other freeware helicopters. Is there a simple fix, perhaps in aircraft.cfg, for this?
