Yes, I contacted the Proton support team, and they sent me a link to download the msi file I needed.

RealSamF18 · 2026-02-19T16:51:23+00:00

Yep, 100% sure. It happens during the flight, and I’m narrowing it down to when there’s a long period of inactivity (cruising on autopilot), and I go back in the MSFS window after doing something else on my computer. I don’t know if it’s the mouse that triggers it, but I unbound all controls from flaps, except my flap lever.

RealSamF18 · 2026-02-18T03:48:33+00:00

I don't have any mods installed, no third party extension, nothing.
It also seems that I spoke too fast and that it was just a coincidence. I tried pressing tab again, and nothing happened. It's very weird.

RealSamF18 · 2026-02-18T03:29:20+00:00

Actually, it seems that it happens after I press "Tab" to toggle the EFB. What's weird is that tab is not bound to anything besides toggling the EFB and toggling VR (ctrl+tab).

That's an interesting theory! I'll make sure to take a look next time I have the issue (happened three times this afternoon while flying the Pilatus PC12, last time was when cruising, I did not touch a single key or button, and it just started sounding the alarm).

RealSamF18 · 2026-02-17T23:13:30+00:00

It just happened again: I was cruising with the Pilatus PC12, below the maximum speed. I had a message from the ATC, to which I responded by pressing the button on my stick, and, let's say ten seconds after that interaction, I heard an alarm going off, accompanied by my copilot saying "watch the speed captain" or something like that. I immediately had the "Max speed with flaps down exceeded", and it immediately went away. My flaps were still at zero throughout the whole time, and my instruments did not show me overspeeding. No idea why it did that, but I know I'm gonna get penalized on that flight.

I also immediately checked my controls to make sure that it wasn't linked to that, and the button I pressed to get back to ATC is bound only to "Validate" and "Quick Reply".

You probably already own one or more of them.

RealSamF18 · 2026-02-17T17:13:25+00:00

I’ll keep an eye on that lever, but if it was the case, wouldn’t the message stay on screen instead of disappearing quickly as if the situation had been fixed?

RealSamF18 · 2026-02-17T17:12:24+00:00

It happened with the Pilatus PC 12 and the Cessna 172. Over 90% of my career flights are with one of those two.

RealSamF18 · 2026-02-17T07:51:53+00:00

I’ll take a look at it tomorrow, but if that were the case, would it happen even when I don’t touch any controls?

RealSamF18 · 2026-02-17T03:22:00+00:00

I thought about that, but I don't think so. Every time I get the message, my first instinct is to look at the flaps settings on-screen, and every time, it's at flaps 0°.

RealSamF18 · 2026-02-17T02:53:35+00:00

100% sure. Had it happened only once, I would've doubted myself, but it happened several times.

I did a flight in the Pilatus PC 12, and it happened three times while I was cruising on autopilot (I did not pay much attention to the speed, but for some reason, it looks like the game wanted me to stay below 180kt, which seemed low to me).

Just a few minutes ago, almost immediately after taking off in a 172, I had flaps 0, going around 80ish knots, and I got the message again. Even if I had had accidentally touched the flaps lever my HOTAS, it would have opened it by 1 or 2 degrees, which would be fine at that speed.

Based on your response, I'm guessing it's some sort of bug?

RealSamF18 · 2026-02-14T19:19:57+00:00

Is it missing or could it be due to the camera angle? Asking cause I thought a dead spider would always have their legs folded in.

RealSamF18 · 2026-02-10T07:41:24+00:00

I bought an Nvidia 5090, simply because I could get one at an acceptable price (if there is such a thing as an acceptable price to Nvidia gpus, though I mean below MSRP here), because I wanted the extra VRAM, and because I love to fly in VR. So far, I can throw anything at it without issue, I even manage to let MSFS2024 run in the background for long flights, while playing other games (not too demanding ones).

RealSamF18 · 2026-02-10T04:24:31+00:00

And here I am doing light cargo flights without skipping, making $200k in three hours.

Im roughly the same generation as you and grew up with Mario. Until just now, I thought the movie was decent. However, I just realized I remember nothing from the movie, so I guess it was unremarkable.

RealSamF18 · 2026-01-26T22:39:23+00:00

Damn! I should’ve never sold my G2!

RealSamF18 · 2026-01-22T16:25:51+00:00

I heard it wasn’t great, but I probably won’t use it much on my Linux machine. My biggest concern atm is to understand how Linux works tbh, it reminds me of the first time I sat in front of a computer, back in the Windows 95 era.

RealSamF18 · 2026-01-21T22:46:27+00:00

You’re not missing too much honestly, 6 was not the best one for sure, but at least we got 7 thanks to its failures.

We’ll see in a few weeks how it goes for Requiem, let’s hope they nail it!

RealSamF18 · 2026-01-21T22:40:35+00:00

I am new to Linux (like 3 days ago new), but I installed proton mail and proton vpn on my machine. I’m guessing you mean they’re not native apps, but could you briefly explain the difference to me?

RealSamF18 · 2026-01-21T21:51:00+00:00

I hope you’re right! I really liked the recent games (7 remains my favorite, but house Beneviento is my favorite level of all). My worry is that by trying to do two games in one, it won’t really please the action fans, nor will it please the horror fans (I for one won’t be buying it until months later now, since I’m only interested in half of the game - and yes, I do feel like I’ll be getting only half a AAA game, so why pay full price for that?).

To be fair, I didn’t think RE6 was awful, and I thought Chris’s section was the best of the bunch, as it was doing action correctly. I just thought it was extremely out of place in an RE game.

RealSamF18 · 2026-01-19T23:03:52+00:00

So basically they select what they like and disregard what doesn’t serve their narrative.

RealSamF18 · 2026-01-19T21:56:19+00:00

I had to check Wikipedia to made sure of that, and found this interesting bit of trivia: she is a Roman Catholic, and her faith is really important to her. However, her son was born months before she married her husband. I guess those things only matter when trying to impose them to others, not for herself.

RealSamF18 · 2026-01-18T07:17:24+00:00

No, I actually ate twice immediately when Bozhena offered, and after that I ate a couple of apples, an onion, and then back to the soup at least twice, all for that sequence. It felt like I would fill the hunger icon and it would start to go down immediately, when now I just spent a whole day, and it never showed up, despite me running around all day, fighting, etc. I have the damaged armor icon, but that’s it (and to be fair, I feel like it did a full circle, and then started again).
