31448 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I'm not sure if this will help b747fe1, but when I was forced to change to 8.1 I hit "Alt + Enter" to get the aircraft to show in the Aircraft Selection menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_wombat Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 This has come a quite a few times, although possibly not with w8.1, and in those other cases it always turned out to be an "update the driver" solution. Steve from Murwilllumbah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31448 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yes, I did a driver update for my vid card when I was changed to 8.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b747fe1 Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 The "Alt + Enter" keys did the trick on this laptop today 10/5/16. But didn't work on my desktop. Thanks for the help I appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSeaman Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Well, son of a gun! :D The lone FS2002 wacko on this board also thanks you. :pilot: The black screen problem was something I mentioned in my FS2002 and Win 10 thread. I was kind of hoping it was due to something I might be able to tweak in the FS config file but had the feeling it was more of a DirectX issue. Going windowed (alt-enter) fixed it for me as well.

b747fe1 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 I installed windows 10. The same problem cropped up, however windows 10 "Control Panel" has a "Troubleshooting" icon. Open it up and select. "Programs". select , "Program compatibility Troubleshooter". On the bottom select NEXT." Scroll down to the program you want to use.(Example fs9). select NEXT. "select" Try recommended setting". "Highlight" Windows compatibility mode Windows XP Service Pack 3.OR whatever program you used that worked. "Select" TEST THE PROGRAM If it starts up run it for awhile before shutting it down, then select. [Yes, save these settings for this program]. wait for it to let it make the corrections. It fixed all my problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Wensley Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 So you find that Windows 10 actually works with FS9? (Bill, sorry if I sound surprised) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
