There is a bug with Windows Explorer and Flight Simulator X because of its difference to Vista and XP.To add addon scenery in FSX follow these steps. Go to the "Scenery Library" in the "Settings" Menu Browse to the folder you want to add and hit 'OK' The addon scenery that you have selected will not be added, instead it will advance inside the directory. To add the scenery LEFT click on any blank space inside the folder, and the windows should close. You should now see the addon scenery selected in the scenery library! Go fly and enjoy the performance on Windows 7!! :( This may also work on FS9, but I do not have it, so I am not exactly sure.

I'm on W7 now. Answers greatly appreciated. I'm planning on staying with P3DV4 for a long while.

I have been facing facing this problem ever since I downgraded to windows 7 due to performance and haven't been able to find a solution, every once in a matter of minutes the wifi connection says that the connection is limited and I have to manually fix the issue by resetting the wireless adapter. Is there a solution to permanently fix this problem? Thanks in advance. Kind regards Amr

I have an old Alienware Aurora R4 desktop, running Windows 7 Home. The last couple of months it has been acting oddly during booting up, alternating between locking up at the BIOS splash screen and booting as normal. What happens is that, after having booted up normally, if it restarts/reboots (cold or warm) once it reaches the BIOS splash screen, where you can select F2 or F12 (or the hidden F8) it beeps once then the computer just hangs there. Nothing works: no keys, mouse; no input at all. Pressing the power button immediately kills everything: the machine instantly shuts down and all power off. Pressing and releasing the power button after that, and the computer does …

Hello: I need Windo7 7 which I downloaded.I have a problem to imstall it as I get error message 0x6. How can I remove this error message ? Can anybody help Thanks Paul12

So i recently installed Win10 64bit (guess why) on my long serving Win 7 system and intended to keep both OS in a dual boot configuration. There is a tutorial which told me this is completely possible and Win10 recognizes a Win7 system at startup and asks which one to boot. I have 2 SSDs, created an unpartitioned space on one of them and, using partition wizard, and switched its partition grid to GPT, installed Win10 and this works. But: Win10 doesnt find Win7 at bootup as intended. To get into Win7, I had to manually change the boot HDD in BIOS setup. After a bit of switching around, the Win7 OS doesnt boot anymore. Selecting to boot from "Windows boot manager" in BI…

I currently use Windows 7. I'm upgrading my entire system to get ready for FSX 2020 and because MS has stopped supporting Windows 7, so a lot of stuff I use will be effected going forward, including my tax software for next year. I'm building a new computer and using a lot of newer parts from my old computer, including my HDD c drive and b drive (which house all my programs like FSX). So this is what I'm doing and what I'm concerned about. New case, mobo, chip, memory, and m2 ssd hard drive to boot from on a new fresh Windows 10 that I have put on a thumb drive for the build. My old computer has Windows 7 with a C and B HDD drives. FSX is installed on …

Most flightsim and add-on makers have already offically droped win7 along with MS, thus make running their product on win7 untested and under one's own risk. Still, some actually running well under win7, but some was already definitely NOT working on win7 anymore. So are anyone still using win7 intersted in making this ongoing list? Whether it's for us diehard to avoid unnecessary purchase, or to encourage one to go for WIN10 I certainly can't buy and test them all, here is what I know: FSL A320 after v5.1.0.100 AS CRJ pro after v2.2

Hello everyone, I am currently trying to solve a problem with ChasePlane. The program has an auto-update function that launches itself each time on startup. Because of a programming error (imho) Chaseplane deletes itself (the old version) before successfully downloading the new version. Therefore the program uninstalls itself upon launch. Support points me at antivirus or firewalls blocking the update download, but I dont have anything like that running. I placed the whole machine in the routers DMZ, deactivated windows firewall and DEP and do not have any antivirus installed. However, something still seems to block Chaseplane.exe from accessing its update server…
