    Error Launching Flight Simulator on steam


    So I've been trying to Play Flight Simulator and when I launch it on steam it appears this error message:


    "Failed to start process for Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition:

    "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail." 0x36B1


    on the event viewer what pulls out on the side-by-side error is:


    "Activation context generation failed for "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FSX\fsx.exe". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.MFC,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50608.0" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis."


    Now when I look up to install this redistributable I can't find it anywhere. Need your help, thanks.

    :)

    Microsoft Flight Simulator issue after Windows 10 Upgrade

    Hi Rahul,



    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.



    I suggest you to completely uninstall Microsoft Flight Simulator and check.

    Refer the steps below to uninstall.

    • Press “Windows key + X”, select Control panel.
    • Open programs and features.
    • In the list of installed programs, select Microsoft Flight Simulator, and then click
      Remove.


    Note: If you have earlier versions of Flight Simulator in the list of installed programs, you will have to remove them in addition to Flight Simulator.



    Reinstall the Flight Simulator.



    Please reply to us if the issue still persist.

    Error Launching Flight Simulator on steam

    Loss of some features on Steam Flight Simulator X

    Hi,

    I previously had a box version of Microsoft Flight Simulator X and recently installed the Steam version. I have noticed that some of the features that were in the box version no longer appear in the steam version, notably:

    • no abilitiy to direct planes to the left or right during pushback.
    • no Comms/Radio Stack screen in all propellor planes, thus unable to use the VOR feature.
    • no ability to set autobrake.
    These are some of the features I have been unable to access in the Steam edition; I'm sure there are more.

    Am I missing something or do I need to uninstall The Steam version and reinstall the box version?
