• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Identity Cannot Be Verified

Whenever I start up FSX-SE I get this "Identity cannot be verified" prompt (see screenshot). I've tried just about every way mentioned online to get rid of it but it just won't go away. I know it's easy to just X through it but I'd rather not see it at all. Any suggestions for a permanent fix?

First time I've ever seen this one. Try "view certificate" and then install it.

I have exactly the same and I think millions of other FSX-SE users have the same. It is something you can't change. As you use the steam version you have to connect with steam.
This message tells you that the Microsoft certificate from the site you are connecting to has expired. As you can't update this certificate you need to live with it. It has been reported to Steam seversl time, but they don't seem to take any action. ( I think you will recognise the Dutch version Jan).

What surprises me is that you only experience this now as this issue has been running for two year already.

Huub, I've been getting the prompt probably as long as you have but I just now decided to ask if anybody had a fix for it.
At least now I know it's not just me. :biggrin-new:

It's not just you, it's also me and every user of FSX Steam Edition for the past two years. The certificate expired and Steam elected to not renew it. I doubt they will ever seek to renew it.
 
There is a setting in FSX where you don't have to start the Sim by going to the "Home" screen. I always started on the Opening Screen" where I could select my starting airport.

Settings -> General -> The "Show Opening Screen"
