FSX and Windows 10

That's why...

That is why when I heard of ALL the problems with Windows 10 and FSX DVD and Acceleration, I bought 2 matching Acer Laptops with Windows 7 installed and Intel Graphics cards. I don't have any problems when it starts to have issues which it does after a couple of years an inherent FSX/MSN thing that I just completely remove all traces and reinstall it from the disks all 3: FSX(2) and Acceleration(1) and "voila" as the French say, its perfect again and I reload my addons from their installers or folders on all of my flashdrives that I continually update with new addons I acquire. I am really glad and suggest that you do that for anything you bought or downloaded because etailers go out of business and free stuff sometimes disappears. I personally don't like how Steam is not on my computer or on my desk. That's just me.

I tried that and could only restart the machine going back to factory settings! I won't take that risk anymore!

Cees, I understand your concern and frustration but I wanted to ask one question regarding your experience with this registry entry. I was having similar issues with getting Accel disc to install. Wellis pointed me to the same fix with one important CAUTION:


“Go into the registry editor @ HKEY_LOCAL_Machine\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTRO L\CLASS\{4D36e967-e325_11CE-bfc1-08002be10318}
Open this folder and double click on “UpperFilters” and ensure that the value is “PartMgr” with caps lower case. The default is all lower case which seems to be the hang-up.
After saving that change FSX and Acceleration installed perfectly for me. It appears that it reverts to all lower case after the install and a reboot, but MS FSX runs fine after you have gotten past the install.

Really not trying to convince you to change your but wanted to share my experience with this fix. My apologies if you’ve also tried this but this particular fix re the caps/lower case did it for me.

How it works for me under Win10:

Don't try to install the Sim via setup or any other options directly from disc. This will in most cases ends into issues.

I did copy all contents of the (not sure how many...) discs INTO ONE folder. After this, I run the setup and I seem to recall that this did the trick.
 
Steve,

I'm running FSX Steam now and I'm happy for the moment.
I'll give it another try when I return to Naval flight! Right now I'm hooked on Backcountry flying.

:wavey:
