solved After Latest Patch, Screen is Black in Game!

[Jacknemo]

After installing the latest patch (released on 7/11/2024), once I actually launch the game (fly), the screen is black.  This is true on all of the maps I have tried so far - Afghanistan, Caucasus, Marianas.  I tried doing a repair, but it didn't fix the problem.

Also, most of the individual aircraft in FC3 are now no longer authorized in the game.

Please help!

Update.  I emptied my saved games/mods/aircraft & tech folders and I no longer have a black screen when flying in-game.  Not sure why the aircraft and tech mods I had installed would have given me a black screen when flying in-game after installation of the new patch released today. 

I also had to re-adjust my settings to the higher and extreme levels I am used to running as many of them had been reduced to "low".

I still have the problem of FC3 aircraft not being authorized.  When I went into the list of installed modules, FC3 was shown as available, so I checked the box and reinstalled it, or so I thought, but when I came back into the game, FC3 was shown as still being available for installation and I still got the message about the FC3 aircraft not being authorized.  Can someone give me some help with this?

Thanks.

My apologies.  I didn't realize you had to buy FC3 2024.  I simply thought it was a free upgrade.  I can now see and fly all FC3 aircraft.  Allis well.

You don't have to buy FC4 to continue using FC3.  There is currently a bug that ED is looking at that prevents FC3 from being authorized.  Anyone else that finds this thread, give it a few days and you'll have FC3 available again without buying FC4.

No worries.  It ended up costing me $6 and change after I used some miles.
