March 8, 201313 yr Ifly says they do not support Win 8.Has anyone managed to get it to work. Just wondering ,since most new computers are being supplied with Windows 8 installed Ron Ron Service .
March 8, 201313 yr Commercial Member Works fine here Ron All the best ...soon as you installed FSX set write and modify permissions for the Users Group on the FSX program folder and allow it to set subfolders. Once that's done install addons then. Steve Waite: Engineer at codelegend.com
March 9, 201313 yr Author Thanks Steve ,I got it to install, but the aircraft have no landing gear, and I can't get the engines started, and some other features not working. I seem to recall there was an install sequence regarding service packs and feature packs. I've seen this landing gear problem with Captain sim products , and it seemed to have something to do with the " Trusted section " of the FSX.cfg file. I guess I'll have to soldier on , but any technical help would be appreciated. Ron Ron Service .
March 9, 201313 yr Commercial Member Hi Ron, Odd that. Sometimes I've fixed stuff by deleting the trusted lines and then let FSX fill them in as each gauge or dll is accepted to run first time. But I presume you just installed the iFly for the first time. You can try deleting the autosave_800.RTE file in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\iFly\737NG folder and try another flight. Let me know how that goes. Failing that you should be able to get help on the official Flight1 forum, they will know more about any issues arising than I do. Later... ...I mean to say that I'm thinking your issues are not specific Win8 issues and have been found before perhaps. The only problems have been installers, if the product installs OK it should work. Steve Waite: Engineer at codelegend.com
