jfitler Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 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. i7-7700K 4.20GHz MSI Z-270A Pro Series MB 32Gb 2400MHz DDR4 RAM NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8Gb WDC WDS240G1G01 240Gb SSD Toshiba DT01ACA100 1Tb HDD Seagate OneTouch 1Tb SSD Seagate BUP 5Tb HDD 2 LG 4k 32" displays Microsoft X05-63895 Sidewinder joystick Logitech M325 mouse Costco 14993BLK4E XL series folding chair ACCO Model 40 stapler Rubbermaid MFG295600 plastic rubbish bin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

g7rta Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I think you can only change it once (for free) After that they charge you, so choose your name carefully :) Regards Steve Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

jfitler Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 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! i7-7700K 4.20GHz MSI Z-270A Pro Series MB 32Gb 2400MHz DDR4 RAM NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8Gb WDC WDS240G1G01 240Gb SSD Toshiba DT01ACA100 1Tb HDD Seagate OneTouch 1Tb SSD Seagate BUP 5Tb HDD 2 LG 4k 32" displays Microsoft X05-63895 Sidewinder joystick Logitech M325 mouse Costco 14993BLK4E XL series folding chair ACCO Model 40 stapler Rubbermaid MFG295600 plastic rubbish bin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfitler Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) That could be an amusing diversion to the rollout frustrations with MSFS... sort of an informal contest... "Most ridiculous MSFS-assigned username" I am sure there are some more winners out there! :) :) :) Edited October 7, 2020 by jfitler i7-7700K 4.20GHz MSI Z-270A Pro Series MB 32Gb 2400MHz DDR4 RAM NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 8Gb WDC WDS240G1G01 240Gb SSD Toshiba DT01ACA100 1Tb HDD Seagate OneTouch 1Tb SSD Seagate BUP 5Tb HDD 2 LG 4k 32" displays Microsoft X05-63895 Sidewinder joystick Logitech M325 mouse Costco 14993BLK4E XL series folding chair ACCO Model 40 stapler Rubbermaid MFG295600 plastic rubbish bin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
