Good idea, I don't restart my PC often but I do have a habit or running GSX live update and opening aircraft and store launchers before I run the sim.

This happened to me a few times with the Blackbox BN2 islander for MSFS 2024. If in the passengers option of Simbrief I select the full pax number, I got the error. If I manually type in the passenger number or type in one less than the full amount, it loads the weight fine. Might be worth trying that.

Did you buy directly from their store? Could be a glitch with their website. Just checked my downloads on Simmarket they work fine. The last post on their Facebook page was 3 days ago so they're still active. I would say wait a while and try again.

Seems they didn't update their post purchase message to reflect the new reality. Hopefully they fix that soon.

Open up OC3 on your PC and it will be there to download. PMDG OC works like steam now.

If you only downloaded a few of the base items like aircraft, use the drop down arrow and only select those items that have "update available" highlighted. If you select the Base Packages item and hit update it will download the 156GB, you don't need that, just select the items you downloaded before.

See the blog post here. If you had it in MSFS 2020, you get it for $2.

Looking back to 2024 when I decided to increase my RAM to 64GB and my gaming SSD to a 2TB Samsung, seems it was a good call given the cycle we are in now. I would suggest anyone planning storage or RAM upgrades to take advantage of the holiday sales (and work bonuses/dividends) and do them now. Prices coming down won't happen before end of 26 or early 27 earliest if you follow the trends.

https://www.prepar3d.com/fuse/fuse_faq/#where-can-i-purchase-prepar3d-fuse Seems for now can only be acquired with one of LM's training packages. There is a link to join a waitlist for news of a standalone version. Bummer, I was willing to give it a try. The FAQ does also state that current P3D addons aren't compatible but they've had success updating them to the new platform.

Saw this link on the main Prepar3d page https://www.prepar3d.com/fuse/ Is this new?

Just saw the short in my Youtube feed and came to see if anyone posted. Will be interesting to see what's kept LM quiet for almost 2 years.

I've found sometimes you have to exit stream and then start back up for new builds to show up if its just been released.

I want one thats Epyon themed.

Going to purchase this next week. I'd love to see a repaint of PJ-WIK. https://www.airhistory.net/photo/417831/PJ-WIK

Thrustmaster and the like will be doing well if they release PS5 compatible joysticks and hardware. Devs who sell through the in sim marketplace will do good as well. Just 15 years ago we thought flight sim was pretty much done, now we've got MSFS and an ultra real world on PC, Xbox, PS5 with a thriving developer ecosystem, new peripherals and fantastic freeware for PC. A moment of respect to our friends who did not get to see this time.
