Windows 10 and FSX

Featured Replies

I was flying then all of a sudden in mid flight, FSX said it encountered an error and exited out.  I tried to do a reinstall, but when I went to uninstall it, the setup for the uninstall did not load up.  I also tried inserting the FSX disc 1 but I got error 1628 failed to complete installation.  Does anyone have any ideas of what to do?  Thank you.

Make sure User Access Controls are disabled http://winaero.com/blog/how-to-turn-off-and-disable-uac-in-windows-10/

 

Make sure you have any anti-virus program disabled while installing FSX or any FSX addon.

 

Make sure FSX is installed in a non-default folder such as C:\Games\FSX.

Jim,

 

Is FSX Gold (Acceleration) compatible with Windows 10 in its native DX9 mode?  I'm still with Win 7, as I've had a tough time trying to get any definitive information on this.

 

Thanks,

Carlyle

I'm glad to see others have been able to FSX to work with Win 10, however, I can't even get it to load into the set up for me. I get the error 1628 or I get 1611.  Other than that, it won't do anything :(  UAC is disabled including in the registry, the true admin account is enabled and install still wont work.  All firewalls/anti-viruses are turned off, and still 1628 or 1611 :(
