  1. If that's directed to me, sorry but I don't understand.
  2. Thanks for your thoughts, as I feared it seems a non-starter. @mrzippy: I did try the usual FSX save but only FSX was saved, I was hoping there might be an easy way to save the lot. @JSkorna: Configured might be the wrong word, but they still have to be loaded and information, such as flight plan, entered. @Ray Hff: I'm afraid that's way over my head, sorry you put so much effort into your reply but I hope it might help someone else. @pomak249: No idea why you think my FSX is in C/Progam Files (x86), it's actually in its own partition (F for Flight Sim!) in a separate SSD. Thanks again for all your help everyone, it's very much appreciated.
  3. Hi Guys, I'm probably wanting the impossible, but no harm in asking! I know how to save a flight so I can restart at any time, but can this include other associated software? To be specific, I'd like to save a FSX flight whilst at the departure gate with the following: PMDG 747, ActiveSky Next, Multicrew Experience, Radar Contact. Obviously I need to select a flight plan and load necessary fuel for my intended destination, but I'd like to avoid the rigmarole of starting and configuring all the various products mentioned. Is this possible, please?
  4. Sorry for late reply but lots of things have got in the way! The joystick has worked perfectly for 20 years in FSX (and previously in FS2004) with Win 10 (previously Win 7). Anyhow, I've got it fixed for just over £100 and can recommend Electronic Partners of Telford for anyone in the UK. As they say: "We fix things that others can't!" :)
  5. Thanks for reply, but I'm now confident that my measured (open circuit) 26v is normal as it should be 24v under load. For information, I've used this stick in FSX without a problem for a couple of decades.
  6. Over a thousand views, but no replies. Am I the only simmer who still has one of these wonderful sticks?
  7. Good afternoon and a Happy New Year! My Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 Joystick has given excellent service for the past 20 years but I've just switched it on and the green LED is flashing and I have no force feedback. When I Googled this problem, every answer says that it is a PSU fault but I've removed that board and measured 26 volts output which I believe is correct. Does someone with experience of these joysticks have any suggestions, please?
  8. As usual when you ask about FSX (or any of the other Flt Sims) in the various versions of Window, some have horrendous problems whilst others are problem free. All set-ups are different, so we all get different results. Only definite answer is to try it yourself! Good luck. :)
  9. Haven't you noticed there's a global deadly pandemic which is the equivalent of a World War against an invisible enemy? Most people have more important things to do rather than play computer games.
  10. No problem, my FSX system has been like it for a decade. It also has the advantage that the additional scenery HDD only has fixed files (unless you add any) so doesn't need to be included in a weekly back-up regime once you've done the original back-up to wherever.
  11. As usual whenever the "FSX with Win10" question is asked, some have had mega-problems and some find it runs perfectly. I've no idea why, but thank goodness I'm in the latter category! I can only suggest you try your current disks and only pay for Steam if they don't work. Good luck!
  12. I fly the PMDG 747 almost exclusively, so real world flights would normally be long haul and hence an extended cruise. I get around this in the sim by flying unrealistic routes, like London to/from Paris. It's long enough to reach cruising altitude, but not for long enough to be boring!
  13. Just hope, at 75, I'll live long enough to see it! :rolleyes:
  14. Yes, I can't help feeling the update was issued simply because it's due, rather than anything major.
  15. There will always be those who will defend the new sim no matter what, but the tales of woe just convince me that I have made the right decision to stick with FSX for a couple of years until most of the MSFS bugs are ironed out. See you in 2022!
