I loaded upgrades and now there is no yellow fly button.

It sounds like your son may have purchased and downloaded the Flight Simulator software digitally, rather than on physical disks. To reinstall the program, you will need to locate the original source where it was downloaded from and redownload the software. If your son purchased the software, he should have the information on where and how it was downloaded.

If the Flight Simulator software was purchased on the Microsoft Store, you should be able to reinstall it by following these steps:

Open the Microsoft Store app on your computer.

Click on the three horizontal lines in the top left corner of the window to open the menu.

Select "My Library" from the menu.

Locate Flight Simulator in your library and click on it.

Click the "Install" button to begin the reinstallation process.

If you're having trouble finding the software in your library, you may need to sign in with the Microsoft account that was used to purchase the software. If your son purchased it, he may have to give you the credentials to access it.

Hi Anderson

Thank you for your prompt reply. I would gladly install the program again except I don't know how to do this. I received my ASUS computer with flight simulator loaded from my son for my 70th birthday. He knew that I was still crazy about FS 2004.

There are no disks. I believe that he downloaded it and paid for it.

I have had a good look. I can't seem to find anywhere to switch the yellow flight tab on. I have also tried to fly with data and without data. It made no difference.

Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

good afternoon

It sounds like there may be an issue with the upgrades you loaded on your flight simulator program, causing the yellow fly button to disappear.

One possible solution would be to try uninstalling and reinstalling the flight simulator program to see if that resolves the issue. Before uninstalling, make sure to backup your settings and aircrafts, so you don't lose them.

If that doesn't work, you may need to check the settings and preferences within the flight simulator program to ensure that the fly button has not been disabled or moved to a different location. You should also check the forum of the flight simulator you are using, to see if other users have reported similar issues and if they found a solution.

Another solution would be to check if the updates or upgrades didn't overwrite some files, or if there is a conflict with other software you have installed.

I hope you can have a good Sunday.
