This is a very odd bug, so I install the game, pick my very first flight plan, works great, exit out and pick another flight plan, goes back to that very first flight plan, that is odd, so I try to make a new flight plan and save it, works okay, press the Fly button and… back to that very first plane and airport that I picked the very first time…
However I can load up the tutorials and all the challenges, just fine… I just can’t simply pick a plane, pick a spot and here we go, I mean, I can, the game will let me, sure, but I then press the Fly button and… voilá, back to the very first plane and airport that I picked the first time ever…
I guess that somehow the game has locked out the file, or files, that it uses the set the flight plan and load it, I even tried making a flight plan, saving and loading it, same result, ran the game as an administrator, same result, installed it in the C: drive, same result.
My guess is that there must be a file somewhere in Windows that gets deleted when I remove the game, gets created that one first time after I plan my very first flight after installing the game and then just locks itself in read-only and the game won’t overwrite it.
oh, after a few searches seems that I found the real issue, my name, it uses an ’ and that seems to be quite important, so the thing here is that this game stil can not deal with non english names, so they fixed the Fly Now and install bug but they created a new one!
TL:DR, non-english usernames can install the game and fly but the created a new bug that now makes it that they are unable to set a new flight plan, and the last workaround, the Save Flight Plan and Load it again does not work, it will still load the first ever flight plan.
If you want to play this game, create a english username and install the game into it.
It’s quite depressing that such a simple issue is causing so much bugs, they only needed to test the game in a non-english user account, I guess I’m off creating a new user account just to… oh What the…? The game won’t let you have another user play it? You have to change the main user account? But why?! Sigh… okay, I will change my main user account.
