I cannot load any different airport and plane - always the same airport and same aircraft - non ascii windows 10 account name

SOLVED!!!

It’s known that the problem appears when using non-english characters in windows user name because the sim can’t find the custom flight folder when you are setting up a new flight.

I’ve resolved the problem activating, in my Windows 10 (build 20H2), the “Beta version: Use UTF-8 for language compatibility” checkbox.

To do that, you have to go to “Control Panel” → “Clock and Region” → “Region” → “Administrative” Tab → “Change system regional configuration…” → and check the “Beta version: Use UTF-8 for language compatibility” checkbox.

After that the problem doesn’t appear anymore and you can set up a new flight without any problem.

Sorry, I couldn’t check that in other Windows versions.
