WIN 8 Forum Now Open

Featured Replies

We are happy to announce that we have opened the WIN 8 OS forum for those of you that are new owners, or have questions, of this OS. Many of the new desktops and laptops come with WIN8 today, and there are sure to be users who will have questions about adding their FS and add-on's to their new system.

Been running Windows 8 for awhile now. Fsx is running great and havent had any problems so far. Cant waitbto see others experiences with it.

Installed Windows 8 and could not change screen resolution, so played with the PC screen resolution for a while, the Spy Game went out and I thought it was a problem with Windows 8 so reinstalled FSX but now cannot open the program...any ideas?

You did install all the drivers and dependencies, right?

Solved the screen resolution problem, now I am not able to run FSX in any mode...the initial screen opens up and after a 10 seconds it goes off and back to desktop. Did a repair installation with same results...GROUNDED....!!!!

Make sure you have visual studio 2008 resistributables installed.

DId you install as administrator in Windows 8? Win 8 has more stricter policies than Windows 7 did.

Been using W8 for a month and I am quite comfortable with it. Loading the OS is ultra fast. FSX runs well. It will take time for some add-ons to catch up. Other than that it's A-OK
