Using FSX: SE with Windows 10 [Official]

[DTG_Martin]

Dovetail Games has been conducting Windows 10 compatibility testing with FSX: Steam Edition for some time, and we are pleased to announce that the latest round of testing has shown no major issues.

Regardless, as this is a new Operating System, some users may experience issues not witnessed by us during our testing.

We will be collecting feedback and will endeavour to provide fixes for major issues that arise, so if you encounter any strange behaviour please let us know in this thread.

Happy flying!

Thank you to everyone who got in touch with us about running FSX: SE with Windows 10. It seems a lot of you are having mixed results ranging from everything working fine to nothing working at all.

Windows 10 is a brand new operating system, and like all new OS, a few problems are likely to pop up. Likewise, many graphic and sound card makers are yet to release driver updates which are compatible with Windows 10. Things will get better, however it will take a little time. We understand that this doesn’t stop the situation being any less frustrating for those of you experiencing unexpected problems.

We have compiled a list of possible fixes for those of you having issues running FSX: Steam Edition on Windows 10. While these fixes may solve the majority of problems, we cannot guarantee they will work for everyone.

Please see either FSXinsider[fsxinsider.com] or our support website[dovetailgames.kayako.com] for the list of recommended fixes.

Black load screen, flight analysis, etc. any popup box that would open separately from the 3d game is invisible with a black screen.

Clean install W-10, Clean Install Steam, Clean Install FSX:SE. I find that the loading status box (after you select aircraft & start the flight) doesn't show up, this is when you are loading textures, it's just a large black screen, then it will finally load. Additionally, when I'm in flight and push ALT for the top menu to appear and go to FILE -> Exit or END Flight, the dialogue box doesn't show up. I have to push enter, which would be a "yes" selection from memory.

I'm having same ntdll.dll problems with Windows 10. Steps taken to try to correct.

1. completely uninstalled FSX-SE
2. installed FSX-SE from Steam site
3. ran local file integrity check - all files sucessfully validated
4. tried to run FSX-SE but it crashed immediately
5. windows error log shows module ntdll.dll failed
6. copied ntdll.dll from system32 directory and installed in Steam/.../..../FSX directory but that did not work.

NEED HELP!!!! Don't know where to go from here

I fixed this by going to the settings, clicking customize at the bottom of the screen and making sure Anti-Aliasing is on.

Big thank you ..........that did the trick for me.

Funny how I used to leave it off and force AA from the driver in Win 8.1 . Tried your fix and everything is great now in Win 10.

thank you it work for me :)

Full Screen Issues with Windows 10

I did a clean install of Windows 10 AND a clean install of FSX:SE. Game runs fine but whenever I switch it to full screen mode, the screen goes black for a second and then I get the error message that the FSX has quit suddenly. I can play the game by maximizing the window but I don't like seeing the menu bar on top or the menu items. For now it'll have to do until a future update fixes this. If you're starting the game by default in full screen view, this is perhaps the reason why it then crashes. My two cents.

[fly_AirCal]

Rgarding the black menu screens when in fullscreen, the culprit seems to be Windows 10's Desktop Window Manager, which can't be temporarily disabled by FSX anymore.

There is a workaround, but this only works if you are NOT using Win10's standard window manager. Therefor, it is not feasible.



DTG_Martin:
A fix for the W10 DWM issue would be nice.

Just a quick tip for FSX-SE users apgrading to windows 10.
if you were like me using windows 8.1 and running FSX-SE in Compatibility mode, make sure when you apgrade to windows 10 right click on FSX-SE/properties/Compatibility, click on Change setting for all users and uncheck the Run this program in compatibility mode for:

This was causing my FSX-SE to crash on the splash screen.

Hope this help someone here.

Blank Aircraft preview and flightscreen Windows 10

I have heard many people are having this problem, as am I. But I have yet to see a solution. It does not do this when running in DX10 mode, but DX10 is way to glitchy, and for me in unusable. But anyways, I did not have this problem up until I installed windows 10. Please help me. I need to get flying again.

Kaneki, there's an app called "DX10 fixer," or something like that, that you can download from the 'net. Google it. I hope it helps.

Couple of things I have found, re download the DX10 runtime from Microsoft, uninstall and re-install DX10 Fixer libraries, re apply your scenery if using Orbx, re install ASN, Pro ATC and FSDT GSX to latest release. Also Nvidia Inspector re install as windows updates your graphics driver. I was getting consistant performance and FPS in the 20's in cockpit view of PMDG 737 in the Beta update- HAPPY DAYS AND NO MORE JOYSTICK DISCONNECT.

[Pontius the Pilot]

There are some freeware DX10 available online which I think are the same as those shipped with DX10 fixer.

I would recomend that you try these first before paying for DX10 fixer. DX10 fixer is fine if you want to be able to configure DX10, but if you only want FSX to work, there might be the cheaper option.

They don't sort out all of the glitches, but I've had no major problems with the fixed shaders.

I got mine with DX10 fixer, but as I say, try the free shaders first to see if they do what you want.

I have reinstalled Steam form zero, reinstalled FSX before with a cleaning of cache and all fsx folders, also under user... where is located fsx.cfg file. Unfortunately the problem is still present, after launching the game i receive an error message during splash screen of fsx and the game doesn t start. I have also tried to set compatibility mode in win7 or 8... nothing has been changed. I m very disappointed for this issue, pls fsx team find a solution very ASAP!
