    fsx issues


    I have downloaded my fsx Miicrosoft flight simulator which I had purchased and have the activation code that came with the box. I tried turning on the game but was unable to make it work. It showed loading the game but never actually open in my laptop. Please advised.

    :)

  2. fsx issue

    Hi,

    I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the computer.

    Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the issue?

    I suggest you to check if your computer is upto date.

    Method 1: Turn on the Anti-Aliasing option in FSX:SE. To do this, follow these instructions:

    • Go to the Settings tab on the FSX: Steam Edition home page
    • Click on the “Customize” option at the bottom
    • Click to check the “Anti-aliasing” option.
    Method 2: Try running FSX: Steam Edition with or without Windows 8 compatibility mode. To do this, right click on the game’s desktop icon, select “properties”, then look under the compatibility tab. Either way, you will still need to run
    FSX: Steam Edition as an administrator. You can also find the Windows compatibility trouble-shooter in the control panel.

    Perform the above troubleshooting and reply with the results.

    Thank you.

  3. FSX Opening Fault

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    We understand the difficulties you are facing with the launching of the FSX. To have clarity on the issue we would like to know, if you have tried any troubleshooting steps.

    We would like to inform you that Flight Simulator X is not compatible in Windows 10. However, we would suggest you to try these steps and check if you get the error.

    1. Completely uninstall FSX.
    2. Remove all files that are in
      C:\Program Files.

    3. Reboot the machine and disable any
      security software or firewalls for the period of the install and activation.
    4. Install FSX in
      compatibility
      mode.
    5. Activate FSX from first startup.
    6. Reboot the PC and check.

    If the above steps did not fix the issue, then follow these steps after installing the FSX in compatibility mode:

    1. Press Windows + R key from the keyboard and type
      regedit.
    2. Expand the following registry key:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\CLASS\{4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    3. After you find the folder, double-click
      Upperfilters on the right side.
    4. Delete all other values except
      PartMgr.
    5. Close Registry Editor.
    6. Start FSX you should get the registration wizard.
    7. Activate and reboot the system to check the issue.

    As an additional information, you can refer Solve
    problems with activation issues for Microsoft games and mapping programs
    article, if this helps you to troubleshoot.

    We await your response.

    FSX activation error

    Hello! I am an Independent Advisor, I would love to help you out!

    The first steps I would try are:

    1) Locate the entry below by regedit.exe

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\CLASS

    \{4D36E967-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    2) Look at UpperFilters key. It should contain “PartMgr” only.

    3) If the key shows something more, mark down what they are

    before editing the key to read “PartMgr” only.

    4) Start FSX, the activation dialog should be prompted.

    5) Proceed and let FSX start, then exit FSX.

    6) Edit back the registry key with the previous content. (This step may not be required.)

    This info was found here:
    https://fsxtimes.wordpress.com/2010/08/17/fsx-a...


    If that does not work then I would suggest to restart your computer and try again. If that does not work then I would suggest to uninstall and re-install completely.
