If you owned Flight in the past, then follow Stonelance' advice in this thread and you should be able to get it up and running again. Since there have been some different problems, read the entire thread for advice. Downloading the Flight Toolkit (listed in this forum) should help solve the problem.

Well said, Bill. Now it's time to end this and wait to see what develops in the market place.

I will suggest that if you want to keep this thread open then you respectfully comment else you may receive a warning and the thread will be locked. Thank you for playing nice.

Well said N2382R.

If I want the add on I would get it. I have fairly robust protections on my system in case some nefarious code gets by. But in this case I personally don't think there's anything to be concerned about.

Nobody is preventing you from discussing this issue. It's when the wheels come off as has happened in the past that the topic is moderated. At this point in time, there is no proof that "the developer has screwed up". That is your opinion and you haven't substantiated any damage to you or your system. As for volunteering, I have logged over 2200 hours of volunteer service in the last 3 years and I don't even count the hours I've volunteered here at AVSIM since I became a moderator. I return to what I said before, if you are unhappy with FSL, then don't buy their product. Simple.

I tend to look on topics such as this and the completely negative comments about a vendor/product with a jaundiced eye when I suspect the majority of the complainers don't own the item in question nor have they competently researched the so called programmers insult to the community. The simple solution is to not buy it if you don't like it. Put your money where your mouth is. No one is making you purchase something you don't feel comfortable with. Use what you have or purchase something else. Problem solved and I'm sure it would be beneficial to your blood pressure. All the griping, accusing, lambasting in the world obviously will not make you feel better. Move on. There are much more serious things in life other than what a vendor does to protect his software.

Microsoft abandoned Flight long ago so the program can no longer be downloaded that I know of. If that is the case, there won't be any keys available.

There's nothing wrong with discussing this topic but please keep it civil and lets not get into developer bashing, please.

Congratulations, Bill. I'm sure you deserved it and it's wonderful that your efforts were recognized. Enjoy the radio.

Please note ---- Our members graciously provided the funds for the new server and as Jim has said, it has been installed. We should see some speed up in the site. I thank everyone that contributed. Without the generosity of our membership, this site would disappear. We certainly don't want that.

Glad to hear you got it sorted out.

I don't believe there is a hard and fast rule concerning this. There are too many variables that come into play. If you are referring to FSX/SE/P3D, then a faster processor and more memory will certainly help. A better video card with more Vram will also be beneficial. But with the differences in hardware right down to the MB and its' architecture, identical systems may not get the same fps.

You do know that you can roll back the Windows 10 update don't you? I think I would try this to see if the update messed something else up.
