Windows 10

[Kung Fury]

Hi
when will this be setup to work with windows 10 ?

[opjose]

If it is unable to save, then there is a rights issue.

You can try the following one or both...

- Right click on the RC7 executable and select "run as administrator"
- Run "secpol.msc" and open "Local Policies \ Security Options \ User Account Control: Admin Aproval Mode for the built in Administrator Account" and ENABLE that, then reboot.

Note that "not saving" is not the same thing as "Not working, with Windows 10" that others have talked about above.

It's been running fine for me on a couple of Windows 10 machines.

I have tried everything that makes sense to try, but it keeps saying the compatibility mode stuff

That's not quite specific enough.

If you are seeing a Compatibility mode pop-up box, then that box may be due to some of the things you have tried doing to get it to run.

Start by turning OFF any and all compatibility mode settings you may have set on the program.

[Kung Fury]

Agreed I have nothing setup for compatibility and still the boxs comes up its crap they should have been on it I still haven't had a reply from the devs support either this is not good at all

[opjose]

If you are seeing a compatibility mode box, then it is indeed set up.

You may not have done this. It may have been done as part of the WIn10 upgrade.

Try completely removing Aerofly and re-installing it all over again, after upgrading your video drivers.

If you still get the box, there may be a registry setting in place that will have to be removed too.

Remember to reboot after the driver updates, then performing the Steam re-install.

Aerofly should not be running with any of the compatibility mode settings.

I'm running it on Windows 10 x64 installations that have been upgraded. You would think this scenario is the most problematic ( versus a clean install of Windows ) yet it runs fine AFTER I resolved the black screen issue.

Also remember that you will be forced to revert Aerofly's video settings to their defaults the first time you run it.

so bascially remove and readd everything and see if that works ? I am not doing that they need to fix it

[opjose]

Uh I don't think ultimatums will do anything to resolve the problem you are having.

Uninstalling and re-installing is not a big deal, your custom planes and settings are preserved.

[opjose]

It is also a good idea to delete the \Users\USERNAME\Documents\Aerofly RC 7\config folder so that the graphics settings revert back to windowed mode. This will get you past the initial Steam overlay prompts that you may not be seeing or may be interfering with your video.

On the Aerofly forums there are a lot of people running it just fine under Windows 10.

no the problem is that the software doesn't work with windows 10 there is a lot of people with this issue so it not MY PROBLEM its a software issue and uinstalling and reinstalling isn't going to fix it. I have already tired a full fresh install of windows 10 and then installing everything back on and its still the same

[opjose]

It works with Windows 10, you can even check out the screenshots I posted of it doing so.

If it did not work, it would not work for me too.

"a lot of people with this issue" is not the same thing as "the software doesn't work with Windows 10". Equating the two only acts to defer possible solutions to what you are experiencing.

Given what you have already tried, have you also turned off the in-game screen overlay, which screws up many games?

Steam / Settings / In game

Then if you still see the compatibility screen hit "cancel".

[Kung Fury]

Hi yes i have and its made no diffrence

[opjose]

Out of curiosity, do you get a black screen after you "cancel" the compatability mode dialog box? Or are you merely returned to the desktop?

[Kung Fury]

it loads up but then nothing is saving so i have to set up my radio every time , i have had a reply from there support which was "If you get at aeroflyFS the message that the program is running in compatibility mode, then please click on ‘Cancel’. After that the program starts normally. If you start the aeroflyFS in full screen mode and if you see a black screen please press “ESC” to close this window. After that the program starts normally." this really isn't a solution i have paid £100 plus for this sim and i feel so let down by this

[opjose]

What they are offering is a workaround for Steam's overlay problem.

I have Aerofly running fine, but I suspect that is because I did NOT install it to the C: drive.

Windows asserts increased security protections and restrictions on the C:\Program Files & C:\Program Files (x86)\ folders.

In my case I always use an SSD boot drive, so I installed Steam to D: so it is likely that the reason I'm having success is due to that.

When I run it Aerofly has no problems saving settings, loading and saving configurations, etc.

Again, this indicates Aerofly itself runs just fine under Windows 10, the problem is with the following two items.

1 - Steam Overlay and the effect it has on Aerofly ( something that the developers may be able to fix, e.g. by forcing the overlay to be disabled for Aerofly ).

2 - Default permissions - This could be handled by the installation program.
