JSMR Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 After the last update a day or so ago, none of my installs will go to full screen mode. Alt enter causes it to just go to a small black box with the wheel spinning. And that’s it. Windows 10 killing FS9 each update it seems. https://fshub.io/airline/RUA/overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Robinson Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I love Win10 so much I haven't even upgraded yet, because I know the longer I hold off the better it will be when I finally make the switch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywatcher12 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I love Win10 so much I haven't even upgraded yet, because I know the longer I hold off the better it will be when I finally make the switch! Just be careful how long you hold off. Hold off long enough FS9 probably won't even work! I've been using FS9 for 17 years as have most of us I would say. I intend to be using it in another 17 years from now. There is absolutely no hope this will be possible if I'm trying to do it on a Win 10 system.

douga66 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Some months ago I was able to do the update to Win 10 on my existing Win 7 machine. It went pretty smooth and all of my FS9 stuff works like before (with a few one time tweaks) including my old repaint model displaying programs. The only glitch so far is getting Instant Scenery to take after I do a scenery mod. I will figure it out eventually. I am not sure about a fresh install of Windows 10 and then installing FS9 on that. I heard there are numerous problems with that. To view my repaints and other stuff just click on the image below! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qballbandit Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Took me awhile to sort out issues after installing FS9 and all of my add-on's onto a new WIN 10 gamer I just configured - but, all working now. Just need to solve a glaring shimmering issue I am suffering through. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5083 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I'm not sure what peoples' Win10 problems are. I just recently installed FS9 on a standard Win10 box after several years of not playing it. Absolutely no problems with the installation and it is less crashy than either FSX or P3Dv4 which are supposed to work on Win10. The only real issue I have is that sometimes when I end a flight, it quits and reloads the whole sim. Minor annoyance since it loads back up so quickly. P3D takes 10 minutes to load on my system (not kidding, I timed it) so that would get old fast if that happened there. August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other issue is Win 10 and some newer hardware is preventing FS9 from running at all for some users. Their workaround around is using compatibility modes but this then creates other problems. Most things still work on Win 10 but if you run enough add-ons, sooner or later you will find problems that don't exist on other operating systems.

Skywatcher12 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Digital Aviation Fokker, Level-D 767, Wilco, some Captain Sim (C-130 I think) there are many add-ons. Can't list you all of them as I quickly decided Win 10 wasn't for the add-ons I like to run so I went back to Win 7. Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgschnell Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Thanks Mark, I haven't Digital Aviation Fokker, Level-D 767, Wilco, so I cannot test it, but my C-130 CS looks fine so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zswobbie1 Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 It seems that, as per Mark, the Windows 10 issues are probably with certain jet tubeliners. I have not picked up issues with my CS C-130 either. As I dont fly jet tubes, I dont have an issue with Windows 10 at all. But for those that do have issues.. Windows 7 seems to work.

I just livestreamed the Airsimmer Wilco Merge last weekend. https://www.youtube.com/ShortFinal Level-D had some kind of stutter or fps issues with gauges I think. There are problems with some of the aircraft I listed. Wilco for example had issues under Win 7 but they fixed some of those. As I said, I haven't tested anything myself as I want longevity from FS9 so dumped Win 10 quickly and went back to Win 7 for this reason and to guarantee a trouble free FS9. All addons ASE, GE Pro, AI Smooth, etc,etc. You're running AI Smooth as admin right? Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really a bad idea. There are a host of problems and risks you take doing this. Anyhow, I can only warn, tried a million times now over using compatibility modes and running as admin.

JSMR Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 Hey guys. When I started this thread I didn’t think it would degenerate i to name calling, abuse and totally off topic. Mods, please close this one. Just kiiiiiiiiding. :p :D I hate Windows updates. I actually think it’s MS’s way of controlling the world. I’ve seen it in a movie once. https://fshub.io/airline/RUA/overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
