Badger26 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) I just want to disable the alert so I don't have to see it every time the game launches. I don't care about the certificate and just want to play the game without always getting notified about it and it says the certificate is OK anyway so I just want it to quit bugging me every time I load up FSX. So does anyone know of a workaround to at least remove the pesky security certificate notification?

mrzippy Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 If you look in Settings -> General -> The "Show Opening Screen" must be selected. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I never get that notification either with the opening screen or without the opening screen. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRJ_simpilot Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I'm only guessing, but I bet it's due to your current certificate store in Windows... OOM errors? Read this.

airernie Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 As an experiment; In the [uSERINTERFACE] section of FSX.cfg try changing PageID=0 to PageID=1, which should cause FSX to start with the Free Flight screen. It won't eliminate the certificate message, but since you aren't starting on the Home page it shouldn't pop up.

UPHILL3 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 In my FSX.cfg, the PageID is already set to "1" But I still get the annoying screen every time. I have FSX-STEAM if that makes a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastivka Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 The issue of the security certificate message is due to the defunct M$ FSX-SE home page. However, the home page can be changed by replacing just one file "gshome.spb" in the "Dialogs" directory in the FSX-SE installed location. See the info and fix provided by bbogdansk here:https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/531161-fsxse-home-screen-has-changed-why/?do=findComment&comment=3853399 and also discussed here:https://steamcommunity.com/app/314160/discussions/1/3211505894145290170/ Both versions of the replacement file offered by bbogdansk did not work for me, because M$ kept on changing their online "live" page, so I had to edit the file myself. 1. Need to change ...\FSX\Dialogs\gshome.spb - use spb2xml (available on AVSIM) to decompile to an xml file. 2. In the resultant gshome.xml replace the non-working web link to anything you like. Make sure that any online page does not have scripts (eg. all forum pages do), or you will get additional script errors. In my case, I changed the link to "_blank", in <HtmlDocument id="urlLive"><Filename>_blank</Filename> This refreshes to the default home page (urlocal) gs01.htm, located at ...FSX\uires\gs01.htm without going online at all. 3. If you don't like this outdated default "Home Page", you can change it to anything you like. Before compiling the xml file, change the urlocal file (which by default is gs01.htm, to something else, for example "f101.htm", which will show you the lessons straight away after loading FSX-SE. Or just edit the html to anything you want. 4. Using the "simpropcompiler.exe" in the FSX SDK (or Prepare3D SDK), compile it back to "gshome.spb". The above links and downloads will explain how to do this. In my case I opened a command line window and used the following command: Simpropcompiler 2spb –symbols C:\FSX\propdefs\*.xml gshome.xml gshome.spb but your setup might be different. 5. Replace the original gshome.spb file (after renaming it eg. gshome.spb.original). Note that an SPB file is just a compiled XML file, so you can test your new home page by just using the XML file, and if it works after loading FSX-SE, then you can compile it to make it a bit more 'efficient'.

davidk64 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Thanks for this solution lastivka. As you suggested I didn't bother recompiling the xml and just put the modified gshome.xml in the dialogs directory and it worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
