I too just received this program and am running it on FSX on WIn 8. I had to comb through the Intro manual and make sure all the recommended sttings were implimented. I had to get a new UiAutomationCore.dll file installed. I then went through, step-by-step the Tutorial #1 and everyting seemed to work just as expected. There are a few quirks that I ran inot, but I am sure it is my lack of procedure sequence and not a program bug. Good Luck. I will follow this post to see how you make out.
