FSX Won't run in Windows 10 (flightsim.com)

I’d calibratre under windows 10. It works fine with x plane 11. FSX 2020 didn’t see the joystick i have only keybord and mouse in fsx.

best regards

Great........Except well over half of my 65 games on Steam will not work on Windows 10.

So, esentially, the rep I spoke with (via email) was correct.

Now, can you please help me with activation of Acceleration for FSX?

Thank you so mucch. You were correct. Almost all my games on Steam work in Windows 10. If no for your suggestion, I would not have known to try the games in Win 10.

Now, can you help with activation of Acceration. I keep trying and getting the same messages. As I said, FSX was activated 1 day after I got tgese same messages, but no luck so far with Acceration.

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:

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.
