iainso Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I've installed Windows 10 beta (due for release in April), and been having a play around with FSX on it. I'm pleased to say it hasn't messed up my installation, and I did a couple of missions and free flights without problem. Not tried any add-ons yet however. One issue I did have was it reset my keyboard to US English, where my keyboard is a UK one - but this was a quick fix in the control panel. All in all it looks way better than Windows 8.

mqytn Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 That is great news. Thanks for testing it out. I'm almost at the point of deciding to try 10 on this flightsim pc. I've got 10 downloaded but I have to backup my pics and docs which may not be a big deal. I'll be going from 7 to 10. Hope all works out for you. Happy Flying.

theyorks Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Had Win 10 Tech Preview on my flight PC & my Toshiba laptop for a couple of months now. No problems with any of my flightsim addons. 10 gets a thumbs up from me, but given it is in Beta stage, use it at your own risk. Sent from my tablet thingy!

iainso Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 grrr, was just finishing a mission and Windows decided to minimize FSX and notify me that a restart was needed. Same old Windows.

Jesusote Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hi there!!. I've just installed windows 10 and when I start my FSX acceleration and select an aircraft, when I choose "start flight" I only see a photo of the aircraft (the same that appears to choose the plane) when charging and after that, when it´s supposed to be flying. I listen the aircraft noise but I can only see the aircraft photo. I have choosen windows vista and windows 7 compatibility but it doesn´t solve anything. Anyone could help me?. Thanks a lot and regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamzariaz_1566 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 The game runs smoothly. But the liveries of all the downloaded aircraft is gone. All the aircraft are blank. No paints or anything on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zetato Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 It's a uiautomation core.dll crash (check the crash report in the event viewer). I solved copying an old 32 bit version of that dll in the fsx root folder. You can find one googling around the web, it was often a problem in Win 7 too.

I am assuming that when I switch to Win10 I will have to reinstall FSX? Thanks, F-16 What is the main use of the puter? If mainly FSX, and everything else secondary, I would stay on Win 7. Actually, I might stay on Win 7 anyway.. I did anyway.. lol I always use the best OS for my particular app's. Not the other way around. I'll probably be using Win 7 until 2020... lol.. If it ain't broke, I don't try to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-16 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Yeah I sort of have the same thinking, however have seen positive comments from people that have upgraded to Win 10 and are using FSX... Computer is sort of mainly FSX but other things installed...would I lose all this if I upgraded? Just considering the options...not upgrading at this stage..

I am assuming that when I switch to Win10 I will have to reinstall FSX? Thanks, F-16 No when you upgrade you will not need to reinstall FSX or anything else. You may just need to clear the Shaders folder and let FSX build new files and make sure to update your video card drivers to the latest Win 10 version. If things weren't broke we would still be using Win 3.1 because there was nothing wrong with that either. The same for the horse and buggy.

F-16 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Ok thanks....so I don't lose anything but need to update video card drivers... I can still use the same card right? Sorry...very amateur.

Guest powhog19 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I have windows 10. I have tried to download new planes onto FSX. Most of them download just fine. However the cockpit panel and the outside textures are blank (or white). Does anyone know how I can get them to show up? I have downloaded planes to windows 7 before and everything worked. On another note: I am able to download textures to default planes in FSX and they show up just fine. Any ideas on how to get the newly downloaded planes working with textures? Your help/advice is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
