oops! REALLY?

Every time I try to log-in at Flightsim.com I get this;

The funniest part of it all is that they're suggesting that I should "post a discussion topîc in the site's feedback category".

Anybody there?

Have you tried clearing all Flightsim.com cookies? I have found that clearing out cookies and history often fixes such problems.

I will give it a try. That could be it because I tried to log-in with my secondary PC (a W7 machine) and was at least capable of getting to the "are you a bot?" questionaire.

Apparently, I'm a bot ...

P.S.- No joy, same message. I feel like an outcast

Try a different browser especially if you are using Firefox with the noscript plug in active.


My suggestion is IE 11 because it's old which makes it a good test.

It is gone here... way ago.

P.S.- Just tried with Edge; same answer! I'm starting to believe that my IP is being blocked.
P.P.S.- And Google Chrome! That's it, I'm blacklisted (what else?)

Does your security software block scripts or adds on your browser. I had trouble logging in a few months ago and it was my noscript plug in installed in Firefox.

If you believe it is your IP you can use the Tor browser to test that theory.

I just sent an email to Nels including a shot of the message you are getting. I'll pass along any info he may have for you! Also sent you a PM!

Here is the reply:

Hi Charlie...

I do not recognize that error message. Are you sure it's coming from
FlightSim.Com?

Clearing cache and cookies is the right advice. These problems are
almost always with the user's browser not working properly. Another
quick way to confirm that is to just try another browser.

Looks like the official MSFS2020 forum had the same issue a while ago!https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...?auth=1&page=1

I installed and removed No-Scrips a long time ago, before getting this new PC in fact. Was a pain you-know-where.

I can't thank you enough MrZippy. I've received a long email from Nels and time will tell... I already had tried all the suggestions made so no point in doing it again. I had Google Chrome, and Edge, installed as "fall-back" browsers but I don't used them often.

P.S.- Just realized that it is from https://forums.flightsimulator.com/ not Flightsim.com, which is fine BTW.

P.P.S- Added my name to the already long list at the link you cited. The only answer so far is in pure M$ fashion; a litany of platitudes.
