  1. Hey Kilowatt, You did it. Thanks to you, my "update issue" has been resolved. Per your suggestion, I temporarily shut down Malawarebytes, my anti-virus program, and rebooted MSFS 2020. It loaded smoothly and without any hitches. THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! We're celebrating Thanksgiving Day down here in the States. It will be enjoyable to be with family but I want you to know that you've added significantly to my day. Thank you! Jesse
  2. Not to worry David. It was a bit of a pain to watch the download/installation take place - but there is gratification in knowing that once this new update issue is resolved, I'll have an uncontaminated version of MSFS 2020. Thanks again. Now I just have to wait for the folks at Microsoft to do their thing. Disappointing in that I was hoping to "get off of the ground" this holiday weekend but it could be a LOT worse. Take care, Jesse
  3. First of all, I want to thank everyone for the responses that were posted. I appreciate the time and the thought that went into them. Let me more specific as to where things stand now. Per the recommendation of David, I have uninstalled MSFS 2020 - and reinstalled it. The current problem I am having is that when the program reboots, it presents with "Checking for updates" and then: ERROR You are missing packages that are essential to run Microsoft Flight Simulator. Please update the application and try again." The only option given at that point is :Quit". No indication of which "packages" are missing is given. Some background: I am running a Windows 11 machine that in all other regards is functioning adequately. I have no problems with any other program. I just ran Malawarebytes and no viruses were found. I've run Windows Updater and that is current. I've run Disk Cleanup. I've checked language and time - all are ok. I ran Revo Uninstaller Pro and that did not make any difference. Prior to doing all of thoe operations, I disconnected the CH yoke and foot pedals. Oh - and the cache is now cleared as well. I turned the computer off and on numerous times - which has not led to a resolution of this issue? Suggestions guys? Thanks muchly.
  4. Hi David, Thanks for your note. I have, in fact, attempted to follow the recommendations of a number of well-meaning You Tube contributors but invariably something doesn't work. In fact, I suspect (I don't know for sure.) that the combination of all of those offerings has contaminated the MSFS 2020 programming environment and that the only way to possibly get it off of the ground will be to clear it all out and reinstall it. One thing is for sure: It is a LOT easier to fly my actual 150 than to get this MSFS 2020 off of the ground. Thanks again, Jesse
  5. Hi All, Despite having LOVED FS2004 (and actually flying my own C-150), I am having so much trouble setting up the fundamentals of FS 2020 that I am not able to get it off of the ground. Are there any good hearted NYC-local Flight Simmers out there that could provide some hands on assistance to this Flight Simmer on Manhattan's UWS? Dinner will be gratefully provided (Really!). Many thanks.
  6. Greetings, I'm quite familiar using VORs. I have one on my own 150. What I'm having difficulty with is setting up the nav radios in MSFS 2020. I've tried a number of VOR setup possibilities but have been unable to come up with a combination that works, i.e one that allows me to tune to the VOR frequency. Your suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.
  7. Thanks David. Much appreciated. I, however, have only one monitor. Would it be possible to use Little Nav Map in such a set up. I was an avid user of the GPS in FS 2004 -and it had an effective, though minimalist, moving map. I wish MSFS 2020 had the same capability.
  8. Greetings. I'd like to add a moving map to my C-152. I see that Sky Vector offers one. What has been your experience with it? Are there others that people prefer - and that I should consider? Thanks.
  9. Tim, Apparently I am not the only one to need, for whatever reason, to return MSFS 2020 to its "vanilla" state. Thought you might be interested in this: https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408886545938-How-to-restore-the-sim-to-its-vanilla-state Thanks, once again, Tim. And, hey - my Best to the Queen!
  10. Thanks Tim! It is n30 -a small airport in the Pocono Mountains of NE PA. I've made soooo many changes to the C-152 configuration. I'm sure its present configuration is significantly different from its out-of-the-box status. Would love to get back to the original - if only I knew what it is. Jesse
  11. Just tried to fly the C-152 again but the same problem keeps reoccurring, i.e. engine quits after 500 ft. agl. Full fuel, Master is on, mixture is rich, no problem starting the engine, carb heat is operable but certainly not called for at ground level (1357 ft.) or at starting. Climbs adequately - for 500 ft - and then quits. Exasperating! Any other thoughts? Thanks.
  12. Interesting possibility. Thanks. I'll keep my eye on the Master next time up. Much appreciated.
