875: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error

Still full of frustration when playing the buggy FS2024.

About a month ago, I started getting the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (0x887a0006) error when loading some airports I frequently visited in the past.
The notorious error was reported by many players.  Although there are many suggestions for the issue, such as changing the values of some specific registries, etc, none of them helps in my case.

874: Stream Deck Profiles for FS2020 & FS2024

Despite the differences between FS2020 and FS2024, I am currently using the same profile set of my Stream Deck XL for both simulators.

From the Stream Deck profiles I was describing in Post 846, I set to load a home page called MSFS_INFO_C172 automatically when FS2020 is run.

In order to load the same profile set for FS2024, what I did was to duplicate the same home page and rename it as MSFS_INFO_C172_FS2024, and then assoicate the new page with FlightSimulator2024.exe. 
Now, Continue reading

806: Stream Deck Non-Responding Fix

Like many friends, my system has an Elgato Stream Deck so that I can minimize the needs of using keyboard and memorizing hotkeys.  The device had been working pretty well until recently I found it behaving erratic with intermittent non-responding StreamDeckXLerrors when switching profiles.

I tried reinstalling the app and restoring from previous profile backups.  I took various ideas and suggestions from the Internet, too.  All attempts were futile.

After many weeks of trying, I decided to reinstall everything and create all profiles from scratch again, hoping that would solve the issue.

During re-creating the first few profiles, I eventually found out the real cause behind the non-responding errors that was troubling me. Continue reading

774: My New Gear – Elgato Stream Deck XL

Elgato Stream Deck may not be a stranger to you.  The first time I heard about it was from Philippe AKA 1L2P in his Cockpit story last June.  Frankly, I didn’t pay attention to it at all until I saw a demo in a shopping arcade a few months ago.  I was amazed.  StreamDeck_08_resizeNow it has become one of the indispensable accessories in my computer system, not just for flight simulation.
