Ok Dave, I'll send the file on the next occurrence.

Thanks for your reply Dave. But this is happening when nothing in the flight plan changed. And the "File" button remains green.

Several times now while filing my flight plan for an IFR flight I will get a squawk code that would be appropriate for an IFR flight. Then I taxi to the runway and upon getting takeoff clearance from the tower, the last instruction will tell me to squawk code 1200. I've always thought 1200 was strictly VFR. Anyone else getting this?

So I was finally able to get the update but I too had to jump through hoops (although much different ones). I finally was able to log into the website from my phone and from there had no issue downloading the MSFS.exe file. Then I transferred the file to my PC and installed easily from there. Their final response to me was that their IT department had looked into the problem and determined that my browser was blocking Javascript, which is nonsense as I have Javascript enabled globally with the exception of a few websites, none of which are SimMarket. But regardless I've got the update. But I stand by my previous comment. Their app sux.

Using a Chrome browser their suggestion was to clear cache and re-try but to no avail. Even bypassing the (horrible) app and trying directly from the main website is not working. Tried Edge and the same result. Dunno. Never had a problem before this stupid app. Why does everybody have to make you download an app? (Rhetorical question do not expect answer.)

did you contact SimMarket yet?: Can't even find a way to contact them and their new app absolutely sucks. Which one of the installers are you downloading exactly?: MSFS.exe (11.75MB) Could your AntiVirus interfere?: It would be a first. Edit: I was able to open a ticket. We'll see what happens.

I'm having trouble downloading the update file (11.75 mb) from SimMarket. It says it's downloading but it just hangs with no progress indicator. The doc files downloaded immediately, but the executable download seems broken.

understand scripting? Every couple of months I tell myself I'm going to learn this and I come back here and access the AAO manual and take 3 swings (all misses) and go back to the dugout and sit on the bench for another couple of months. A simple exercise: I wanted to get the LED's on my X-Touch Mini to light up when my landing/runway/taxi lights are on. I just can't grasp the concept. The two pages in the manual just don't explain the process well enough for me. Can any of you provide a link or other resources for an old man to grasp the scripting challenge? Thanks in advance for any insight you might provide.

Add me to the list. Completely broken for me. Reverted back to 5s4.

What you've outlined above has little to nothing to do with my original post. I don't have any problem (generally) in getting released for departure. The problem with ground sending me to tower occurs right after pushback from gate. I've yet to even begin to taxi as I'm just at the point of requesting it. Often times, even after switching to tower and back to ground it will at that point tell me to backtrack (to departure runway) even though there are multiple taxi lanes at the given airport. It would seem to me that a backtrack should only be used in cases where there's no taxiways or they are for some reason unavailable, although even the latter would be difficult to understand in a simulator.

Glad you got it to work.

Bruce, When you right click on the "name.reg" file you will see Open at the top of the drop down menu. But at the bottom you should see "show more options". If you click that you should then see the Merge at the top of the new drop down menu.

I'm using W11 and had no problem merging. You should see a "show more options" in the drop down and when you click that it will give you the merge option right on top.
