Hi,

 

Firstly let me say thank you Maarten for creating this amazing software. The original FSX GUI and launcher has been the bane of flight sim experience for last couple of years or so.

 

Unfortunately though, I don't appear to be able to use it.

 

I can load and fly the basic flight (Over Puget Sound) no worries, but as soon as I try to customize a flight FSX just won't start properly.

 

Once I configure the custom flight and click the green "Fly" arrow  the MFSX splash screen appears, and then the loading bar starts loading as it should. I should mention that it seems to load incredibly slow - maybe 3 or 4 times slower than when I load a flight from the standard FSX loader.

 

Once it reaches 100%, FSX just won't come into focus. The icon is there on my taskbar and the process is running in task manager, but I simply can't get to the sim. I have to manually kill the process.

 

While it is loading, the black screen that usually appears behind the loading progress box isn't there either.

 

I thought this may have something to do with the PMDG 737 NG aircraft I fly mostly, but I have the same result with Aerosoft A320 and even the basic Microsoft B747-400 included with FSX.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Many thanks,

Lukas

Hi Lukas,

 

If the FSX window does not appear, please shift right click on the taskbar icon and choose 'restore' or 'maximize'. Hope this helps.

Wow....

 

I can't believe I never knew that you could shift+click those taskbar icons.. it works perfectly!

 

Thanks for the prompt assistance Maarten and keep up the great work
