troubles with the wings

[Dave43H]

not really, but im inna mood. ..

ok, i bought xbox game pass for pc, the regular one and i got a message in a box that said 'couldn't load game bar' and gave me a link to find an app to install it too. i haven't a clue what to do, btw, i upgraded to the 'gamepass ultimate' but im thinking of deleting it all, well of course cancel the payments. just going to see if i can get my 2020 working, someone , and i apologize for not being able to remember his name, he had said the there was an update that fixed that, but will it connect and give me the those updates? or just sit n spin?

i do really want 2024 for the firefighting planes. id asked this already, maybe no one uses it, but do you have to do the entire career mode? id like to free fly the AT802, and ill wait for tankerguy72's (73?) i swear i'm losing my mind, wait for his S2T. i know, or hope he will give it to us in 2020, i saw talk of him doing 2024 only, if i can't figure out what to do to get it installed on my gaming rig, someone said i should put it on my older machine since i can get into Microsoft store on it and this destroyed laptop, the screen part has broken clean off thanks to my cat.thing is, if i do that, i wont be able to fly as it just isn't powerful enough, it just barely ran FSX. so that's not a doable thing, and i can't even get it to power up.

i saw in a thread somewhere, or maybe it was in the 2020 forum,, but there's someone that lives south salt lake city, but north of american fork,, would anyone know who it may be? i know that's vague, but its all ive got right now.

thank you all for getting to this point with me, and a bigger thanks to anyone who might have an answer. tbh, it has me depressed as hell.

well, i took some time to work on that "best" pc, i really dont understand whats happening. it wont even install the latest version of win 11, ive been doing to much and ive forgotten the numbers and letter i think, that tells what version it is.then i wondered if there was an installer for 2020, i did find one in the contents i believe, again ive forgotten and i forgot to write it and many other things i saw. and 2020, will not get past the looking for updates message, or however its worded. i was hoping to just reload it right on top of its self. if thats even possible.

The Xbox app is where you can find the 2020 and 2024 installers, and ensure they're up to date.

Thank you sir, ill make sure they are there, i dont think they are,, but i cant get into the microsoft store on that computer at all.
wont let me type in the box to get signed in. plus i had things i really needed, so ive spent that money i had for 2024,

another topic,
i asked over at "max flight stick", which one of their sticks (cyclic) and which of the collectives would work the best for the skycrane in 2024, they answered that any of them would work, but none are specific to the CH-64, i commented back, well shoot thats a pretty dominant helicopter in 2024 for the firefighting aircraft. he responded with, i think its the only one, i have no idea myself, he then said (we were on FB messenger and live, and having a real conversation) that he doesnt know why they dont have a set for the -64, he added that he was going to put it in a request, thats not the right way to say what he had said to me,lol. well on Wednesday he had then sent me a message saying that its in development and that they've been in contact with Erickson Aircrane and theyve given the ok, and whatever they needed, then, according to the time stamps in messenger, he sent another to me saying that i should get back in touch with him in 2-3 months and it should be ready, he then asked if i would be willing to give it a review, i thought.. wow ok, ill get it free,, nope, he added after my purchase of it lol... my disappointment was high,, but it will be very cool to have..but according to the other helicopter specific sets of controllers, they are either pushing, or over $1000.00 each, could get very expensive. dont know if youve ever looked on their site, but if you were a serious simmer and have one aircraft in mind, they probably have it. but as he pointed out, the majority of what they sell is for real world pilots for training purposes.
