WIN10 OS Forum

I did a clean WinX install on my gaming laptop this morning, so far so good. Decided to try out Edge but when I surf to avsim.com and click the Sign In button, nothing happens. Is AVSIM compatible with Edge, or is there some setting I need to use to enable sign in?

I just updated to Windows 10 from 7. I found on loading FSX that there was white flashes when moving the mouse around. I had also upgraded nvidia drivers to their latest Win10 version, to no avail. Then when accessing the menu bar the sim freezes. I installed Steve's DX10 Fixer and switched to DX10 and everything seems to be OK. Has anyone else experienced such problems with Win10, FSX in DX9 mode? My system is Intel i5-4690k, MSI gtx760ti graphics card. Stuart

Hello guys，I'm one of the Windows insiders of Win 10. I began to use Win10 at build 10041. I tried to install FSX and some Add-ons in every build and they all work well in previous version of Win10. Earlier, MS pushed the build 10240(RTM) for every insiders. But after update, I found that all add-ons by PMDG in my computer(737 and 777)can't work. After I select them in FSX, FSX will NO RESPONSE. But strangely, only PMDG's add-ons will make FSX no response, others(like aerosoft Airbus and FSLAB Concorde)in my computer will not. I tried to reinstall PMDG737 and PMDG777, but failed.Then I reinstall DX and open DX10 Preview, it also failed. My CPU is i5 4570 and …

Just thought I'd create the post for the big debate. Will FS2004 work in windows 10????? I'm not upgrading until we find out for sure. But everyone please feel free to comment and discuss. Please answer the pole question to let everyone know if it works for you.

I swear every OS that comes out of Microsoft just gets worse and worse and users loose more and more control. Looks like I'll be sticking with 7 for quite awhile. http://www.theverge.com/2015/6/1/8696949/windows-10-feature-loss

I have a new PC, as in, weeks old. I can't seem to get Windows 8 to update to 10, it doesn't recognize that there is an update. Where do I go? I reserved my free copy awhile ago.

Good Morning All, I received an email this morning from PCWorld, who had an article published with a title similar to my post. The article can be found here: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2952888/windows/windows-7-holdouts-why-diehard-users-refuse-to-move-to-windows-10.html#tk.nl_pcwbest Given the feedback so far on Windows 10 and the information published in the article, I'd really love to hear from the developers of flight sim software to give some insight into what they think will happen years from now as far as support for legacy OS. For example, if I vehemently refused to install Windows 10 now, given that Microsoft will support Windows 7 (security pat…

SMH im fixing to rage I installed windows 10 fresh and clean. Went and installed p3d 2.4 and all went well. ITs in its own folder in the c drive. I load up in the default f16 and whatever airport it loads up in. It looks like this http://prntscr.com/7yq1im. It loads then freezes and then closes with no error in the event log. Do i need to get p3d 2.5? i tried everything out of option here.

For those wondering about performance by switching here you go - seems about right from what I have noticed in P3D http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/windows_8_1_vs_10_graphics_performance_review,6.html

Hi Guys, today I upgraded to Windows 10 and everything went well. But due to P3D I got a problem: everytime I start P3D I choose a plane and airport and start it. Plane and airport are loaded as usual, but a few seconds after everything is loaded, P3D crashes to desktop. Windows event manager shows: Name der fehlerhaften Anwendung: prepar3d.exe, Version: 2.5.12946.0, Zeitstempel: 0x555f2e54 Name des fehlerhaften Moduls: menus.dll, Version: 2.5.12946.0, Zeitstempel: 0x555f2d41 Ausnahmecode: 0xc0000005 Fehleroffset: 0x000050e0 ID des fehlerhaften Prozesses: 0x1bd4 Startzeit der fehlerhaften Anwendung: 0x01d0ca3e104fa590 Pfad der fehlerhaften Anwendung: C:\Program …

This was a multiple application test for me, so I thought I'd put it here in general items and report my findings. The setup: See my signature for overall stuff, but here is what I did: Win7 64-bit workstation: --FSX Acceleration with original FSX box running on Win7 64-bit PC. --Default Cessna and PMDG NGX and 777 tested. --Default Scenery. --NO other flight related programs running on this box, all running from below laptop. --Network-connected Laptop running 64-Bit Windows 10 home apps running from laptop: ----Active Sky Next ---FS Commander (Latest edition) ----WideFS (for above connection, for FSC) In the above configuration, with the lapt…

Hey guys, The graphics smoothness is amazing with P3D, I am not even using FFTF - and everything is slick. We just need LM to fix the damn VAS issues. I can't enjoy my Orbx FTX due to OOMs. Don't rush on the upgrade wait for all the news to trickle down. I had no problems upgrading to 10, but then again I am very comfortable on wiping my OS and reinstalling again, if things break. Have a great day If you do install Windows 10 - make sure to go over all privacy settings. It is free for a reason, and I would recommend that you disable send all you browsing/typing/etc personal info crap to MS. It is very easy to disable

Well tooling around in f1 kingair and started getting serious stutters - then said hmm bet it windows 10 doing something in the background low and behold message center had some updates waiting for me - security updates and nvidia driver - hmm I shut off all of the switches and even reg hack to make sure it wouldnt over write my nvidia driver well thats out the window - it installed the driver and you have no choice so as I like Windows 10 its starting to look very intrusive and not cool imo and I am running pro version go figure

With Win10 around the corner only few weeks away I wanted to ask you guys who already tried it out, what is the latest status on how P3Dv2.5 performs under Win10...is it worth upgrading on day 1 when Win10 is released? Things I'm thinking of is if there is already an advantage with the DX12 under the hood of Win10 or if it won't give you any benefits until LM (hopefully) works towards full DX12 compatibility. I recently replaced my 1st gen Titan with a 980 Ti allowing me to run P3D @ 4K and although the performance is already really good running under Win7 of course I would like my new hardware to be utilized in the best way possible.

I have switched to the RTM of Windows 10, mainly because I was sick of the joystick dropouts of Windows 8. Overall I am pleased with it, however FSX has a tendency to freeze after a while under 10. Does anyone else have this problem? John

Well, this is an interesting development. Dropped Windows 10 onto my test box to start playing around and getting more familiar with her prior to her official release, and I slapped in my FSX:SE install real quick to see how the simulator would work. So far, so good. One of my pending questions was whether or not the Level-D 767 would function under FSX and Win10 (it does not function under Windows 8, so I was curious). I fired up the Flight1 wrapper, and.... nothing. nada. zilch. No installation windows, nothing popping up. Opening up the task manager, the "Flight1 Purchasing Module" has started and is pulling about 12%-14% CPU time, but no windows and no activit…

http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2015/07/10/free-windows-10-charges/ The problem with Win 10 is that there isn't a new CPU to back it up. Cheers,

...reserved my W10 Pro download. I see that some are reporting higher FPS within their sims..and some who are using it have posted a much faster, crisper, user experience with the beta. So...here's crossing my fingers, that all my flight sims and 3rd P will work in the W10 Pro sandbox. Before though...I will make a full complete system backup of my now installed W7 Ultimate. Just in case.... Anybody else, reserve?

Hi guys, I have been reading with interest all about Windows 10 as many of us have... when the free offer of an upgrade comes out, does this mean a full reinstall of everything P3D wise or will it simply be an upgrade of the OS.. I am hating to think a reformat is is order! Any ideas? Ta

Any of you notice the little Windows icon in your taskbar?? Upon clicking the icon, you see this: MS just started pushing this reservation thing to all Win 7 and 8.1 users today, around 9PM GMT -6. Any of you get it? Are you reserving your Win 10?

Hello. I just receive information that my win7 will be upgrade to the win10 when he will come online. But what with all PMDG products and widnows 10 compatibility ? Will be there some support ? Because now i'm see that only recommended system is win7. Greeting. Lukasz. Musiol.

Thinking of upgrading to windows 10 from window's 8. Anyone know how FS2004 will run in Window's 10? know of any trouble?

Should I get it or wait? Windows 8.1 is perfect and I don't want to screw anything up... Any advantages to upgrading while it's free?
