You have to choose an airplane AND an airport to fly
Hi @renonxbr,
We were chatting on Discord. I have moved your topic into the master one in #bugs-and-issues
See this post:
https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/i-cannot-load-any-different-airport-and-plane-always-the-same-airport-and-same-aircraft-non-ascii-windows-10-account-name/302113/92 about deleting saved flight files.
If you use the Beta UTF in Windows, you will have issues with other parts of MSFS and thus not suggested you use this feature.
I’ve found that this has happened on some other projects, that I could luckily look at since it was open source, like Octave, it was fixed with this patch, if this could be look into since it’s litterally a game-breaking bug for users with a non-ascii character in the username
Hi all! The developers need some help in trying to duplicate this issue. The topic just got updated to #need-your-help !
What would be helpful is (from those who are NOT using the “Beta version: Use UTF-8 for language compatibility” in Windows settings):
Assure you have the required US English Language pack installed for Apps & Websites:
What we know from this entire thread is that deleting the default saved flight files allows you to select another airport and/or aircraft.
Any details you can provide will be of great help in assisting the developers to duplicate this issue.

so there’s a í in the path, my PC account was created with a microsoft account from what I can remember.D:\
)Hi. For long time we know that a computer set with an account name that is using non English letters prevent msfs from delegating the last flight saved info causing the flight to start at the same airport.
Is there any intention from Microsoft to solve this issu? For users of non English language this is a major issue.
Thanks

I don’t think so honestly… bacause seems it is the problem or limitation: Windows 10.
Asobo will look into this. @Moshiko218, can you help by filling out steps 1-5 I posted above?

@ECTLG The same steps would be helpful.
Thank you!
This is getting really tiring. I hope this is fixed soon. It’s a huge pain in the butt to have to restart the sim each time I want to do a new flight
I don’t know how far back this issue goes, but I experience it too. In an age where so much fuss is made about every little difference among us humans, it’s beyond sad to see that a huge company like MS still assumes everyone is American and everyone speaks English…
Hi all! I’m curious for those that have this issue, is how you installed MSFS.
Is your installation in the “default” location or have you customized the install location to another drive other than C:?
I have installed in a disk other than C! in my case disk D! The app itself is always installed in C (although you can later move the app via windows to another disk), right ?
After the app itself was installed, I chose disk D where community and official are!
I myself have had this problem and had to create a local new account with only us English letters to make everything work!
This sounds interesting and I hope for a solution!
I had it installed on the C drive
Hi could you solved the problem ?
Hi, I just bought the Flight Simulator Premium Deluxe and experience a bunch of bugs.
One of the bugs is the one described here: I cannot choose another start airport and it drives me nuts since hours!!!
I am using the Steam version on a PC with locale de-DE and having umlauts in the username.
Deleting the mentioned folder %APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\MISSIONS\Custom
only works once. Then the game is stucked again.
Is there any progress on the bug ticket? If such a simple thing does not work, I will simply return it.
A work around can be found here:

CHANGE SYSTEM LOCALE
If you’re using a non-English Windows 10 set-up, change the system locale.
- In the “Type here to search” field type “Control Panel”
- Click on the “Administrative” tab click on “Change system locale” and set up Current language for non-Unicode programs to “English US”
– OR –
CREATE A NEW LOCAL PROFILE WITHOUT USING SPECIAL CHARACTERS
If you have special characters (such as à, ù, Å, ò) in your Windows Profile, create a new local user or administrator account in Windows 10 with no special characters and run Microsoft Flight Simulator from that profile.
