Ummm... get back online?

But like brock, i've never seen it before.

Normally FSX authenticates your license key with their server during startup. But with FSX 2018, i guess this might be Foresight's way of letting you play if your internet has a temporary outage and can't authenticate during start-up.

If this notice comes up if you are using the dongle, then i would be worried.

Nope and no one seese to be able to fix it at foresight. I have emailed three people now.

Just fixed it

Went into config files and it was showing the old fsx key. changing it still wouldn't make it go online.

Ended up wiping everything foresight from the PC and reinstalling everything.

After that it decided to ask for my login information and fsx2018 key
