I encountered an error when trying to launch Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 for the first time and haven't been able to resolve it. I'm sharing the details here, and I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

My AMD RX 580 graphics card supports DirectX 12, but when I try to launch Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, I receive the errors mentioned above. Based on my research, it seems that the RX 580 supports DirectX 12.0, but the game may require DirectX 12.1.

What I Have Tried So Far:

1. Updated Graphics Drivers: All drivers are up to date using the AMD Adrenalin software.
2. Checked Windows Updates: My operating system is fully updated.
3. Reinstalled the Game: I reinstalled the game, but the issue persists.
4. Forum Research: I found that similar issues were linked to DirectX version requirements.

Since I cannot launch the game, I am unable to change the DirectX version from the game settings. I would like to know if Microsoft Flight Simulator can be run with DirectX 11 or 12.0, and if so, how to configure this.

My System Specifications:

• Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
• Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX 580 (8 GB VRAM)
• RAM: 32 GB
• Operating System: Windows 11 Pro
• Drivers: AMD Adrenalin 24.9.1 (Latest version)

If anyone has experienced the same issue or has a solution, I would appreciate it if you could share your insights. Thank you!

I'm having the same issue here. But my graphics card is an Intel HD 5500, my operating system is Windows 10 Home, my processor is an Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-5010U CPU @ 2.10GHz   2.10 GHz and my driver is an Intel Core i3-5010U.
