  1. To pomak249: Actually, I HAVE uninstalled FSX since I was last here. I haven't tried re-installing it. Reg...
  2. To: piet06263...Yeah, I tried the Alt/Enter trick. Didn't work for me. My drivers are up to date. I'll look into the other "tips". Thank you. Reg...
  3. To Tiger & FSKindaguy: I'll try the anti virus info you gave. Thank you. Reginald
  4. To JSKorna: My specs are: Intel Core i7-9700@ 3.00hz Nvidia GEForce GTX 1660 VRAM is 5GB Ram is 16GB 661GB free-space That should run the old girl. Reginald
  5. Pomak249: It was absolutely perfect. I "flew" that sim for years. The same with FS2004 before that. I've had nothing but problems since Microsoft left FSX. Tried Prepared and X-Plane (another story). Reginald.
  6. Hello, Tiger, and thanks for replying. The thing is, I already tried that. It verified everything, but when I tried to run the game, the same thing happened again :( And on top of that, now the steam launcher isn't working properly. I tried to run another game and suddenly, it's crashing too. That game (Euro Truck Simulator) NEVER crashed.
  7. It doesn't work.:confused::mad: Windows 10 refuse to load this game. I launch in steam. The "completing setup Generating scenery file pop up comes on. Another pop up comes up saying "Do you want to run this software?" At times I say yes, and other times I say "No". It doesn't matter. I choose my aircraft, location, etc, and press "fly-now". Then the screen goes Black, with a big cursor in the middle of it. I wait, and wait. Nothing happens. I sat up all night, exploring You-Tube videos. Nothing helps. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, in advance. Reginald.:confused:
  8. Well, flytv1...I did it. It wasn't pretty but I seems like I was over-controlling all along. Just the tiniest bit of rudder pressure kept the plane straight. It was so tiny, it seemed like I was applying almost no rudder at all. So, there we have it. Thank you so much...Maybe I'll see you on YouTube someday....:)
  9. flytv1...I will try again...tonight...KLAS >KEDW... Nice trip, BTW...over mountains, etc. default scenery doesn't due the terrain justice. I'll let you know how it goes...Thanks :(
  10. Damnit....Here we go again. I'm struggling like crazy. An hour ago, the same thing happens. Did NOT touch the brakes...Plane went violently to the left...I barely touched the pedals. Uncontrol able. After all was said and done, the plane was propped up on it's tail...nose-wheel high in the air...I'm sick of this BS. Patience...I'm out of it...I'm actually beginning to hate this sim. Speaking of which...Tried reaching out to X Plane forum. Bloody waste of time. Nobody answered. I've tried everything I can think of...Calibration, response curves, I even thought the CH peddles were damaged. So I bought a set of Logitech. Nice hardware...too bad they didn't solve the problem. I guess I just can't fly. Not everyone can.....:confused::mad:
  11. flytv1: Thanks again. The best advise you could have given me is patience...Something I'm not known for. BTW, I flew this morning, and was not half bad. One thing I did was keep my damn toes OFF the toe brakes. I absolutely refused to touch them. Plane rolled down the runway, and again, I didn't brake until I left it. Not a bad session if I say so myself. Well, thanks again. And yes, I'll be more consistent with the numbers....:rolleyes:
  12. Damnit!!! Here we go again....Flew to Las Vegas (KLAS)...Landed on Rwy 1L fairly well. Then it started all over again...Plane goes to the left...Right rudder to correct...plane goes wild...ends up in the left-hand ditch!!!! GD PEDDLES!!! :mad: Now, it's under the hood...re-calibration (again)...mess with the sensitivities (again) mess around with the response curves!!!! :mad:Not a happy camper right now :mad: P.S. BTW, Mina's my wife's name....She thinks I'm crazy...Maybe she's right!!!!:mad:
  13. Flytv1, thanks also for the screenshots on Response Curves. I have to admit, most of the videos on this subject (YouTube) have me totally buffaloed. Guess I'm just dumb, or something. Anyway, response curves are something that I will work on once I've got the basics down pat. Thanks, again...:) Reg...
  14. Just wanted to say "Thanks" for all the feedback...I tried Flytv1's approach and it worked for me :) Also, others, like dashort3 and someone else here mentioned the braking. This time I tried flytv1's brakeless landing and that's what worked. Just found that the rudder was a little difficult until the plane slowed down. Peddles may be a little sensitive. Didn't even use the brakes until I taxied off the runway to parking. Don't know where I got that fully depress upon landing idea. On YouTube, even airliners seem to brake very gradually. Well, live and learn. Thanks, again Reg... P.S. 200 fpm before landing seemed like I used up a lot of runway. But at least I didn't totally, F&%* up. Thanks....
  15. Thanks, flytv1. I wrote everything down, and will practice tomorrow. Really appreciate the help. I'll also look for that video you mentioned. Thanks, again... Reg...:)
