FSX in Windows 10

[davidjmcconnell]

Since I don't know an awful lot about file structures, extensions, and the like, this could be interesting: I have installed Windows 10 on my computer, and it is functioning as it should with one glaring exception, that being that I have no idea how to start up FSX, which I have on a separate teradrive. I sort of figured that the computer would have detected FSX as a program during the setup process, but it apparently didn't. All of the files are still present on my FSX drive, but I'm not big on the idea of blindly clicking on files that look like they might do something. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

find the FSX.EXE in you main FSX file and click it... it should start up from there... if not then you may have to reinstall.. FSX is registered to you motherboard, so if you havent changed that, you should be able to start the program.

Unless you did what is called a clean install you should still have the shortcut for FSX I just update to Windows 10 and it FSX works with no problems.
But if you did a clean install than you will have to reinstall FSX as it and any of your other programs will not be there anymore. That is what a clean install does

I had to buy a new computer (due to a HD failure) with windows 10 per-installed . Installed FSX, , acceleration and the sdk. During free flight, I had a crash to desktop. A quick search and I found that you need to put a file called UIAutomationCore. dll directly in to the FSX main directory. No issued since then.

Gary B. I did a patch on fs2004 and it tell me I need a M5VCP70.dll , can you tell me what they are talking about? Thanks for your help

It is part of visual c++ 2002 , which dosen't have a proper redistributable - by right the software that uses is it supposed to come with it. You can get it off the net, but use due care and virus scan it.
