In line with the general musings above, this seems to be the place to drop in a few observations/feedback on the state of FSX.
After an absence of quite some months if not a year or two I finally fired it up again last night, hoping to gain some air miles in the much loved Level D 767. The first thing that hits you on a 4K screen is the opening screen is tiny due to the fixed fonts. Various fixes on the internet change this once off, but next time you start the sim it's back to the tiny, tiny window. The same affects the in flight menus and toolbars so to compromise you have to drop the graphics to 1440p.
As I may have mentioned previously, FSX (both original and SE) now seem to struggle on modern O/S to save complex aircraft. I reloaded my flight later in the evening, to find the flight plan I meticulously loaded in the LVD 767 FMS had completely vanished, not even the origin and destination airports shown. This also seems to afflict other aircraft that rely on FMS rather than default GPS nav, but it never used to be an issue back in the day. Did something change from Windows 7 onwards (I'm running Win 10) to cause this?
Finally when you sit in the flight deck the default view angles down such that you can see very little in front of the plane. Raising the eye height doesn't really help, it's the angle that's the issue. Again not just the 767 but various other third party aircraft now do this.
So it was with some sadness I again hit uninstall for FSX and have started to tidy my HD's to make way once more for the bloatware which is MSFS(2020).
