No luck with the last attempt from Market. It gets to the point where is says the I'm using an old joystick configuration and would I like to reset it. It doesn't matter what I pick it CTDs on me. I deleted all the Flight files under my user name so I don't know way it says I'm using an old configuration.

 

I deleted all the config files and started it again and when it crashed I started the VS debugger, (I'm a real life software developer), and it's showing Unhandled exception at 0x7606b9bc in Flight.exe: 0x0EEDFADE: 0xeedfade. When I continue it gets, Unhandled exception at 0x5e6f5fdf in Flight.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x0000f319. I find the second one interesting but it could be because of the first. In any case it looks like I'm out of the Flight business for now.

 

 

 

***UPDATE***

Well I'm back up and running and all I have to do is control configuring and graphics tweaking. Last night just prior to the crashing of Flight I had installed a web cam for another project I'm doing. I just never figured that the web cam driver would CTD Flight but it did. Last night I only uninstalled the web cam and when it didn't do anything I reinstalled it. Today I uninstalled it and then reinstalled Flight which did the trick.

I just signed up in steam and tried to install from there but it still crashed on start. I've removed all things Flight I could find and I'm trying it through the market place again.

 

The main thing I notice in the Steam version is that it loads MUCH slower... maybe because it has to negotiate with both Steam and GFWL?

The only thing I have noticed so far since the "update" is that the "brakes" function, which I assigned to a button, performs the normal "S" key function (four different views). The toe brakes work, so I have that, but would like to have a button as I have had in the past. Toe brakes work on an axis, and the button works on, well a button, and they are on two different devices (CH Eclipse yoke and CH pedals. Any ideas?
