I managed to work around this issue. Obviously can't guarantee this will work for anybody else, but here's what I did: 1) Load into the full game from the launcher, ignore and cancel the pop-up for Flaming Cliffs 3 that will start the loop 2) Go to module manager, then go to the "installed" tab 3) From the installed tab, check the box next to all FC3 items (F-15C for DCS World, MIG-29 for DCS World, etc) and select "delete" Once you reload and get back into the full game (not the new launcher but the full game), the pop-up * should * now list the individual jets in addition to the Flaming Cliffs 3 item that originally started the loop. Remove the check on the FC3 pack, add the check to all the individual jets then click ok. Game should exit and kickoff the download. Once that was done and the game reloaded, all my FC3 modules were accessible. I still get the original "Flaming Cliffs 3" pop-up that starts the previous loop when I load into the game, but it appears this can now be safely ignored.

+1 Something is definitely goofed with the licensing. The module store states that "Owners of FC3 do not need to purchase" on all the original FC3 planes, but the website shows the "buy" button as if it doesn't recognize that I'm already an FC3 owner.

Just wanted to second what Shack posted above, as I had a similar issue. Downgrading to an older version of SimAppPro was a valid workaround. I never had to do any physical disassembly of the unit before, no reason to start now. The SimAppPro software has been generally solid, I'd give it a B/B+. But after all this time of having trouble free firmware updates, it's pretty clearly a Winwing software issue if suddenly support is telling us that we need to physically disassemble the unit to apply an update. I hope it doesn't crop up again, but this is almost certainly a problem on their end. I did basically the same thing as Shack: 1) Uninstall existing SimAppPro (If you are familiar / comfortable with Revo Uninstaller, I'd suggest using that to cleanup the SimAppPro registry leftovers, as the uninstall doesn't appear to be 100% clean) 2) Reboot then install older version of SimAppPro (1.8.18 was the oldest version I still had in my downloads folder) 3) Update all required firmware (I unplugged all other USB devices as requested, it complained that the base and stick were still connected but the application proceeded with the firmware updates). Repeated same steps for my throttle base / handle. 4) Update to latest version of SimAppPro Hopefully this issue doesn't repeat itself, my sim pit did gather dust for about three months, so it might have just been a version mismatch... where I updated the application to a newer version after three months away... and that newer application version didn't play nice with existing firmware that was two or more releases out of date. That's just a guess, but it's the only additional circumstance I can come up with.
