MSFS & MCE won't open

[kraszus 1]

So I start up MSFS, am in cockpit, start MCE, get the pilot chatter, message to wait for co-pilot, MCE window appears briefly on screen and then promptly shuts down. I've tried a reinstall with no luck.

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Multi Crew Experience\ installation folder and check anti-virus didn't "eat" "Simco64_Ldr.exe"

It should be inside that folder.

Report version number for both "mce.exe" and "Simco64_Ldr.exe"

Registered user or going through the Demo?

Thanks.

Simco64_Ldr.exe 1.0.5.5

MCE 2.9.0.8

 

I'm a registered user - assuming MSFS works with the old FSX licence?

Assuming you are registered for the MCE Ultimate Edition (NOT the Lite Edition which only works with FSX or FS9), there is no need for new license to use it with either FSX or MSFS (or even Prepar3D).

Are you getting a specific message (dialog box or other)?

It is the Ultimate Edition, yes. No dialogue box or error message...just momentarily throws up the MCE window and closes. I also have MCE for xplane 11 which runs just fine.

Save your license key somewhere else.

Un-install MCE vis Windows Control Panel.

Manually delete <Multi Crew Experience> folder

Re-install very latest

Put key back inside installation folder.

Eventually, go to C:\Usres\you_user_name\AppData\Roaming\Multi Crew Expeience\ folde and open "mce.ini"

Ensure "Debug=1"

Start MCE and it should generate a "startup.log"

Send the log to support via e-mail. Thanks
