Has anyone had the feeling that there is something not quite right with MSFS, well it took me a while to suss what I thought it was. I don't know if others have noticed but the scenery looks too contrived to me, in other words it doe's not look natural. So taking that in hand I uninstalled same and re-installed Fsx with all my photo scenery of the British Isles and the difference is very apparent from the start, the countryside of uk looks proper, no big poi posts sticking up with airfields signposted which way to go, at least the midland towns look like as they should and navigation is as it should be to find your way about. All that said has anyone come across the situation that the fs switches off and a welcome message appears on screen with and I quote "Thank you for trying out the trial version of Flight sim X If liked please don't hesitate to purchase the full version "unquote. So i am only getting about 30-40 minutes of flight each time I fly. I am using Fsx with photo scenery and acceleration X and despite trying to get through to Microsoft without success and the FS is fully registered with the codes given I am given to flying only short hops. Any suggestions would be welcome. To all you flight simmers have good Christmas and may all your landing be good ones. PS One glaring omission from my version of the photo scenery Hadrian's wall is nowhere to be seen??.and yet when flying low level near the campsite at Haltwhistle the remains of Featherstone old POW camp sticks out a mile yet is a lot younger than the aforementioned wall.

Thanks Steve will do next week after loading

Having just purchased the new flight sim I found that it took nearly 6hrs to download off the 10 discs onto my desktop(zoostorm windows 10). When on checking the flt sim file I found no exe file to start the operation of FS all the files were not sub divided into their separate files as is FSX so to avoid any problems the seller has replaced the MSFS and I hope to get it working in the coming week. Can anyone advise me how the file should look once transferred off the discs, does it resemble in any way the FSX is or is it totally different?. Hope anyone can help.

Has anyone had this message when trying to start up FSX in new edition of Windows 10. Quote-Product Activation Error. We're Sorry an unexpected error occurred which is preventing product activation being completed. ERROR CODE 1-8000-4005. ? Does this mean I have got to uninstall FSX and then RE_install or is there a fix?.
