alexbreza Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Hello all, I had FSX 2 versions installed one on Steam and the other on PC DVD. I uninstalled both versions and permanently deleted Steam version. Now I reinstalled the PC DVD version on my computer and when I start FSX main menu on the right had side for Home just above the Free Flight and Missions it shows in the middle Microsoft Flight Simulator Steam Edition. Included an attachment. Help would be greatly appreciated how to revert back to original home screen.

f16jockey_2 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 No idea. OTOH nobody ever watches the Home screen as it does nada. Click on Free Flight or whatever, anything but Home. Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 In your settings, check "Show Opening Screen". It will always start On the Opening Screen and not the Home Page. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jethrom Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hello alexbreza, The truth is, you cannot change this, the Home screen is now indelibly linked to the Steam-FSinsider webpage, instead of the original FSInsider.com Microsoft webpage. Wether you are running FSX boxed or Steam the Home screen will only link you to steam offerings. Since the original FSInsider info is nolonger accessible for FSX boxed users it would be best not to use the Home screen, the sim will always start on the Freeflight screen as Wim & Zippy have stated. It would also be a good idea to avoid corrupting your sim by ignoring any Steam Edition - Beta branch offerings. The Home page is now useless for FSX Boxed versions.

mrzippy Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 That did not work. Are you saying that you are trying to fix the Home Page so it doesn't say Steam Edition? Can't be fixed! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
