I have a new laptop (in sig) that I installed MSFS 2020 on and it works well. I still find there are things I can do in FSX and FS9 that prompted me to install both of them.
FS9 had an issue with CTD on startup twice before it would run. Somehow that fixed itself.
FSX has an issue that everytime I start the simulator all of the USB ports shutdown. The only way to get them back is by rebooting the PC.
I found that if I deleted the FSX config once it was rebuilt the issue was gone for about 2 restarts. After that the USB ports would go inactive every time I started FSX.
Today I found a better solution but not a great one. If I unplug my USB ports and then start FSX I can plug them back in once the menu loads. From there they work fine.
Very odd issue.
