scaleboat Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Just got a new desktop with Windows 10 and have run into several problems. FSX will install, but will not launch - just get a black screen. Running in compatibility Mode for Windows 8 and as administrator. FS 2004 installed fine and works well, but I miss the flight recorder I installed in FSX. I downloaded FS Recorder 2004 ( fsrecorder_fs9_2-1.zip), but it won't install. I get an error message that says FS 2004 is not installed on my computer, then the installer goes to finished. Does anyone know hoe to install FS Recorder manually? Are there any other recorders out there that will work with FS 2004 in Windows 10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) Don't run fsx in compatibility mode. And don't run Fsx as admin, doing so will cause problems and won't "fix" anything.

Skywatcher12 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Don't run fsx in compatibility mode. And don't run Fsx as admin, doing so will cause problems and won't "fix" anything. Same for FS9. Run the registry repair tool first to make sure your registry entries are correct so FS Recorder can find your FS9.

FS9 doesn't need compatibility modes or running as admin. I'm using neither. In cases such as yours, something is going on and if that is the only way you can run it, then that is the way you have to run it. However, it is best to run FS9 without compatibility modes or as admin. Running it this way can cause a million issues and if people get in the habit of doing this for all of their old software, it can even open up security vulnerabilities within a program. You should always run without compatibility modes and not as admin unless there is a specific need to do so. Windows is already designed, and will run legacy software best and in the safest way without these settings applied. The options are there only if they are required. They are not there so if you have a program made for Win XP, you automatically go and apply a Win XP compatibility mode. Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywatcher12 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 My above comments refer to FS2004 installed in Windows 10. Yes, I am also speaking for Win 10. I have Win 10 and there is no need for me to run FS9 in any of those modes. Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I have my FS sims on another drive within the PC so not in C: and I don't use compatibility or run as admin and they run fine, I'm using Windows 10 as well. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywatcher12 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Strange, my new laptop, Asus i5 need all that and the patch to run from C:/ Your install procedure needs steps 1-3, that's it. 4-7 may cause people issues and they'll be blaming and looking everywhere else because they'll think they did everything correctly.

napamule2 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 We are agueing about other stuff. The OP only wants to know how to install FSRecorder for FS9. He says FS9 is running ok with Win 10. (Really?). We should wait for him to check back in shouldn't we? I imagine he went on tangent with FSX not running and then FSRecorder for FS9 not installing. We don't even know his specs. He has only 6 posts since joining in 2010. Maybe he is overwhelmed. It happens.

Skywatcher12 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 He hasn't responded and he has also mentioned he is using what is being discussed. It may very well be a potential cause of his issues. If he is made aware he can experiment. I have also provided a direct answer for him to check his reg settings to make sure they are pointing to his FS9. Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaleboat Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 I figured out how to do the manual install for FS Recorder 2004. I put the .dll file and the FRC Converter folder in the modules folder of FS9 and it is working fine. I still can't get FSX to work. I've done a complete removal, reboot and reinstall several times and get the same result. It loads, goes to the opening screen where you select or configure a flight, then when you chose "fly now" it goes to a black screen. I've let it sit for 20 minutes or so, but it just sits there playing the FSX opening music. I did not install any of my flight sim programs on my C drive. I put them on my D drive which is a separate 1T HDD. My C drive is a 500G SSD. My new system is an off-the-shelf Asus gaming desk top with the i7-9700K processor, 16 gigs of ram, the Nvidia GeForce RTX2080 graphics card with 8 gigs of memory.

napamule2 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Do you know that the FS9 FSRecorder and the FSX FSRecorder have different, or specific, installers? Are you trying to use FS9 installer in FSX? Won't work. Just my 2 cents.
