Windows 10: FSX - blank screen after clicking on 'Fly Now'

I seem to remember this problem when I used to view the Windows 7 Forum but I can't recall the solution. I upgraded to Windows 10 when my motherboard shuffled off this mortal coil - wish neither had happened!

That was nearly a year ago, I just got round to installing FSX again but found it didn't like my add-ons until someone suggested unchecking the trial DX10 box. That worked but the next times I started FSX the screen would go blank (black) when I clicked on 'Fly Now'. The PC itself was still working, I could hear FSX sounds and the music I downstream but the screen remained blank.

The only way I found of getting the display back was to Log Out in Task Manager, then sign in again but of course FSX was closed. FSX could be started again OK but the blank screen effect continues. +

I have no current problems with the PC itself (I do with Windows 10 sometimes but with no other software.)

Any ideas?

Fsx black screens windows 10

Hi Alejo,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. I understand your concern and I’ll be glad to assist you.

Please ensure that you download all the latest drivers for your system from the manufacturer’s website.

Follow the steps below:

• Check in compatible mode.
• Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘properties’.
  
• Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 7/8 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation.
• Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.

You may try this suggestion as well: When your FSX is running with that 'Black Screen', then right click on the FSX icon in the taskbar and click restore. If it still doesn't works, then again right click on FSX icon, click minimize and then
afterwards, right click and click restore.

In further, if you have any issues with regards to games, you may post your query on Xbox forums for specialized assistance. Here is the link:

Not active fsx

In my April 24th reply, I had asked you if you were able to take a flight in spite of having the Activation error come up? So could you attempt any flight to make sure that you have installed FSX properly? And try to fly for more than 30 minutes (you can
use time compression if you are short of time).

If your FSX runs properly, I can give you a possible suggestion for the Activation error. But if FSX doesn't run, then you need to go through certain steps before you can do a re-install of it.

 

Fsx black screens windows 10

go into fsx settings see if something with dfx 10 isnt clicked ....its on the side where you set the screen size ie 1920x 720 x 32 there on the right side you ll see it I think it says preview 10 click that save and restart fsx

if that doesn't work try running fsx under window size and not full screen

that's how I get around flying with planes with no texture with windows 10
