MICROSOFT FSX, FSX:STEAM EDITION AND MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR 2020

This also includes the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 which we have had no involvement with.

So it's now gone into the Microsoft 'Black Hole'...........

Hello, Rudy SALTZMANN

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

The FSX Gold Edition is the newer version as it includes the Deluxe Edition and the Acceleration expansion pack.

The activation process can sometimes be tricky, especially on newer operating systems like Windows 11. First, run FSX in compatibility mode for an earlier version of Windows, such as Windows Vista or Windows 7. If you encounter issues with the Acceleration disk not prompting for a key, you may need to edit the registry or use the FSX Software Licensing System Reset Tool. Ensure that FSX is properly installed and activated before attempting to activate the Acceleration pack. Detailed steps can be found here:

FSX + Acceleration error code 1-80004005 - Microsoft Community

If you are still encountering difficulties, it may be worth considering upgrading to a more recent flight simulator platform such as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 or X-Plane 12. These platforms have been developed with modern systems in mind and provide a remarkable level of realism and expansive environments.

Hi there Morar E.

I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

I am so sorry you are having issues playing Flight simulator.

Here are some ideas:

System Requirements and Compatibility
Ensure your system meets the minimum requirements for FSX. Compatibility issues with newer operating systems can also cause problems.

Check if your hardware meets or exceeds the specifications required for FSX.
Run FSX in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows (e.g., Windows 7 or XP).

Administrator Privileges
FSX may require administrative privileges to run properly.

Right-click on the FSX executable and select "Run as Administrator."

Graphics Drivers
Outdated or incompatible graphics drivers can cause FSX to crash.

Ensure that your graphics card drivers are up to date. You can download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel).

DirectX Issues
FSX relies on DirectX, and issues with DirectX can cause startup problems.

Make sure you have the correct version of DirectX installed. FSX typically requires DirectX 9.0c.
Sometimes reinstalling DirectX can resolve the issue.

Corrupted Files
Corrupted game files can prevent FSX from starting correctly.

If you have FSX through a platform like Steam, use the built-in tool to verify the integrity of game files.
Reinstall FSX: Uninstalling and then reinstalling FSX can sometimes resolve issues with corrupted files.

SimConnect Issues
SimConnect is a component of FSX that can sometimes cause issues.
Locate the SimConnect installer in the FSX installation folder and run it to reinstall SimConnect.

Add-Ons and Scenery
Third-party add-ons and scenery can sometimes cause conflicts.

Temporarily disable all add-ons and see if FSX starts. You can do this by moving the add-on folders to a different location.
Ensure all add-ons are updated to the latest versions.

Configuration File Issues
Corrupt or improperly configured FSX configuration files can cause crashes.

Delete the FSX.cfg file (located in the AppData folder). FSX will create a new one when it starts. Be sure to back up the file before deleting it.

Antivirus/Firewall
Sometimes, antivirus or firewall software can interfere with FSX.

Add FSX to the list of exceptions in your antivirus and firewall software.
Temporarily disable your antivirus and firewall to see if FSX starts.

System Updates and Conflicts
Ensure your operating system is fully updated, and there are no conflicting applications.

Ensure your Windows OS is up to date.
Close unnecessary background applications that might conflict with FSX.

I hope this helps.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. -Lumie
