MS Assigned pilot name - Is it Changeable and How?


Recommended Posts

Still searching on how to change the arbitrarily assigned pilot name during the initial MSFS install. I have seen comments indicating that this is somehow tied to your "X-Box gamertag", which they appear to assume everyone has. I can find no connection to names associated with X-box to the one assigned in MSFS.

 

Though overall this is not a big deal given the scope of my primary concerns with the release, I would still like to change it because the one that I wound up with is especially ridiculous.

 

Anyone out there have any luck with this issue? Thanks in advance.

It IS your Xbox gamertag and you can change it by launching the Xbox App from your Start menu and clicking on your user icon in the top right corner, then click on Settings. At the top of the list is the option to Change Gamertag.

I think you can only change it once (for free) After that they charge you, so choose your name carefully :)

Sorry - my bad!

 

I did locate how to do this. What was throwing me was that I didn't realize that I had originally installed MSFS using my wife's MS account, which was linked to my email. Kinda messy. All is fixed now and I am free of "TenableFlower" as a username!

 

Thanks for the responses nonetheless!

I was given “UnsungRabbit977”

I changed it as soon as I discovered how :)

That could be an amusing diversion to the rollout frustrations with MSFS... sort of an informal contest...

I am sure there are some more winners out there! :) :) :)

So you’re saying “TenableFlower” is available now? 😉

 

"TenableFlower16" is, at any rate. You are welcome to it! :)

 Who would want "Maverick," "Iceman," Viper," "Cougar," or "Wolfman," when you can strike fear in your adversary with "TenableFlower?"

Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate. And never be low on Fuel, Altitude, Airspeed, or Ideas.
