Aussieflyer38 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Okay first up, I can't thank you guys enough for your help and patience. I can remember years ago, my boss gave me an apprentice who was completely hopeless to train, so now I know how you guys must be feeling trying to get all this computer techno stuff into my old half empty head, at least that kid had youth on his side. Yesterday I said I was going to do something drastic, I did. First I uninstalled the MSFS off my old computer, then off my new computer and reinstalled MSFS....yeeeaaa. This morning I had to see my lung specialist for a checkup, so no time to see if it had turned out okay. So, the good news bad news is, yes the sim is up and running (thank God), that's the good news. The not so good news is MS has made some changes, I think I may now be running the updated Win 11, not sure yet, I haven't had time to check, first things first, can I fly, the answer is YES, but some things not working correctly (controls), and not sure what else, but I'll have to check what is and what isn't, so I'll have to work through them as I have time. I took two screenies of a quick flight, but not sure if they are going to post correctly - no thumb nail picture. I'll post them and see what happens. Expect a few more questions , but hopefully not many. Again many thanks to all, now go and pour yourself a well earned beverage. Don 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Paul, it was a last desperate effort, had to give you guys a break and me, we all needed the rest.

Cheers Graeme Thanks Graeme, yeah I just had to end it and move on, so a re-install seemed the best way. On John's (Brad) recommendation I went with Steam, seems to be running okay with the little I have installed. So far I have been able to fix the problems I have encountered. Along the way I found I'm running WIn11 update, not sure if it was installed when I bought this rig, or later, the release was about the time I bought it, it could be either, but I don't remember ever installing it. It will be interesting to see how all this works. The intro into Steam, I found to be very very different. My main focus at the moment is to get some sceneries and aircraft of choice into it, and fly, the rest can come later 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Take your time, Don, relax in between and think of other things (may be liquid). It will turn out during the upcoming days... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gerold, the easy part is Orbx, set 'em going and make a cup of coffee, unfortunately I can't have booze, but I do sneak a port or two every now and then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a strange one John, the throttle in particular seems to have a mind of it's own, moving back and forth of it's own accord. I've reset it twice, but it keeps doing the same thing. Not sure if maybe it's something to do with my Bravo, I have set these up before no problem, so it's a bit strange, have to keep investigating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
