wrk218 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 After the installation of the disks to the desk top as per the instructions I then proceded to put in the # 1 disk and hit Run now. Nothing happened as the "Task Manager " stated the X Plane was not responding. So I unloaded it and proceded to reinstall the disks. Same result. I contacted Pilot Shop requesting a refund. Surprise , none for software. So I will ask you all for some suggestions before I put in a non payment through PayPal. My specs are as follows, Home built (# 2 ) WINDOWS 7 64 BIT HOME PREMIUM INTEL CORE I7 4790K @4.00GHZ DUAL CHANNEL DDR3 @ 666MHz ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO (SOCKET1150) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (ASUSSTEK Computer Inc.) 3 SSD 250 - 280 BG 1 931 GB WESTERN DIGITAL HHD oTTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 There is a log file that is generated with every start of X Plane. That may provide some clues. Also, make sure you have given enough time for XP to start. The first few times it takes some time for the program to start. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edw Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 After you installed X-Plane per recommended instructions, leave Disk 1 in the DVD drive. Open the desktop folder X-Plane 10 and look for the application called X-Plane. Double click this and it should start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Windows expects apps to respond quickly. If that takes longer, windows will say not responding if you click on the app. But that doesn't mean nothing is happening. It's probably still busy startin up, and taking a bit longer. On my pc sometimes after with many explorer windows open, and looking in a .zip as well, I click something in the explorer window, and get a popup "not responding, close, wait for response, or cancel" If I click close, the whole explorer process is closed, with a lot of concequences. So I don't click that! Usually I just click "wait for response" and give it some time. Works great. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk218 Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 I reloaded but did not do the update. Then I put in the disk #1 and the game started. Now that it runs, programing my joy stick, pedals looks to be a monumental task, with all of the items in the settings. I don't know of any stick or yoke that can use all of them. When these guys make a new sim why then do they insist on adding all of these settings which can never be used. Do we really need "as real as it gets" to enjoy flight simming?

JSkorna Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Use the settings you need and ignore the rest. You would be surprised as to how many users actually need "all of those settings", especially home cockpit users. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk218 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 I agree that we do not need all of them ,however, I have a mini home cockpit and can use some of them. Its all the other items that clog the game. Otto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk218 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Now that I have XPlane running without the upgrade, is it advisable to install the upgrade? Otto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
