Where have you installed it to? Program files directory?

I recall reading, on Reddit I think, that NI doesn't work yet on 10.

Can you provide any MS statement to this effect? WU is most certainly NOT as it is, out of the box, like Win 7/8/8.1 (home and pro) . I know this to be the case having been on the insider preview builds. Keen to know what OOTB settings can be changed on this.

I just don't get why they're persisting in a charging model for home variants of the os. Linux & OSX are both free. Heck, you can install OSX on a vanilla PC of you really wanted to..

Wellington here.

SimlancherX sort of does this. I can set a radius and then center that on a specific airport. It's free, and I'd really recommend it. Support forum is on here

Hi Maarten, I've been having an issue with Simlauncher's KML import function. I'm perhaps getting one pushpin displayed, and all other airports are just displaying the name and no pin marker. I can confirm that if I view the KML in Google Earth Pro, I see the pushpins as expected. The export is coming out of Simstarter. It used to be fine, I would get airports with their pushpin icon, but something's changed fairly recently. Any thoughts - what do you need to see in terms of logs from me? Thanks, Leo

Hi Flavio, Yes, would agree that in this situation, there is probably something in the Win8/F1 application relationship that is not working well together for you. But I would disagree that this is inherent with Windows 8.1, rather I would say it's something specific to your Windows 8.1 installation. I have a number of Flight 1 applications - UT2, RXP, Opus, QW BAE, Britten Islander.. the list goes on a bit more. I've not had this freezing experience, ever. I can tell you here the sum total of FSX/Windows 8.1 specific issues I've had: EZDok's World Camera failing to map the correct memory area and thus enable World cameras in the sim. A problem that actually looks to be fixed in the latest beta. Joystick disconnects. Solved with FSUIPC and a quick registry edit. These however, are not issues that have been unique to my setup. Narutokun's post (http://forum.avsim.net/topic/459066-eaglesoft-citation-x-20-in-fsx-se/?p=3149138) I think sums up exactly what I'm trying to say. I'd look to your W8 installation in the first instance, and look to see where the problem lies. Regardless of whether or not a developer/publisher currently supports a particular OS or not, they can only support an OS if it works as expected (usually the "Out of the Box" installation). Correctly configured, W8.1 is great - reliable, fast & secure! HTH, Leo

Hi Maarten, So do I still need to configure all the remote folders too? Or should Slx pickup the server instance and not require the networked folder locations?

Just awesome. The manual is a must read though (I assumed for example, I could just go ahead and use UNC's to map my server folder locations, but you have to use mapped drive letters). Still reading through everything, as I have a play. Thanks Maarten, this is payware quality. Expect a token or two of gratitude

Hi, start with the tutorials built into fsx on the basic planes. Work up from there. Learn the basics first. You wouldn't learn to drive in a Ferrari?

Looks like it affects 7 too..http://www.eyeonwindows.com/2014/08/14/august-update-tuesday-patches-causing-bsods-on-windows-7/

Evernote. It's a digital scrapbook/organizer/notepad that's free and can be used/accessed on multiple platforms or just browser. Onenote is an alternative, but I think the client is paid for.

Tried Sim starter? I think that will do what you are trying to achieve. Google Simstarter from memory.

I can actually believe this. Having used tablets in ios, android and windows, I find windows possibly edges out on top. Not enough for me to dump android though :-)

I'd recommend any European scenery by Aerosoft. Sure ezy fly to some of them

Ever note to keep track of my serial's receipts etc (and useful snippets!) Plan g to track my airports via a custom marker for each field. Bonus is you can use the display rings to get an approximate time and distance to each

I think opus fax may do what you need. Check out their forum further down. I think opus fsx may do what you need. Check out their forum further down.

Yes,I have assignments to the hat switch in much the same way as you are going to do (regular panning, then specific views using a shift key assigned button on the yoke) But, I found it easiest via FSUIPC to do this.

Just wipe off win 8 and install 7 from scratch. Backup necessaries first! But try and stick with 8. Nuances aside, once you get used to it, it's pretty good.

I'm doing a lot of flying around aerosoft's Greek sceneries. Plenty of choice for any aircraft

Well, in fairness, that's not entirely dissimilar to OSX MS have a lot to do to win back users. I don't mind W8.1 personally. Quicker than 7 on same spec machine if nothing else, lol. Sent from my GT-P5110 using Tapatalk

Hey Cheryl, Yes, everything as above. OK, so I ended up deleting my \Controls\Standard.xml, cameras.cfg and disabling/reenabling Live camera via Opus. This has managed to fix the problem. I think somewhere along the line, something got corrupted (my standard.xml kept reassining slew controls on my PS3 controller, or things got confused about what they were doing LCC GUI now works, as does using it via a controller (which is really, really cool, BTW) Fingers crossed, all is good now
