Hi Tom, thanks for your answer. The issue turned out to be much simpler: Multiplayer requires DirectPlay, which is deactivated by default in Win10 (in Apps and Features - Windows Features - Legacy Components). Switched it on, and now it works :) Boris

Hi, The fuel panel door only opens when the engines are off (makes sense not to refuel with the engines running, huh?) I hope that's the reason; stumbled over it myself. I do have the loader utilities available, but not the takeoff calculator (but I have the fuel planner instead); if you can't find them elsewhere, I could upload it to my Google drive for you. But tell me - does the multiplayer thingy work for you in FS9 / Win10? Mine doesn't, and I don't know why. Have just made a post for that, which is waiting for approval. Boris

Greetings, I'm one of the dinosaurs still using FS2004 from time to time, for such wonderful aircraft as the RFP 747-200. I'm running it on Windows 10, and everything works just fine - except for the multiplayer function, which prevents me from flying online (Vatsim). The "Join multiplayer session" button / menu is greyed out in the sim. Hence, Swift (Vatsim's online client for FS9) can't connect. Here is what I already tried: reinstalled the simulator ran everything as administrator tried all compatibility modes of Windows 10 installed DirectX 9 set up port forwarding in my router as found on portforward.com installed Swift not in Program Files (x86) but in Program Files (found that in another forum) So, is there anything else I could try or is it simply not possible? Regards Boris
