• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

All seems to load and install well from my disks. Final window... click run to finalize. I do ... Nothing happens. disk 4 is in the drive. reinstalled 3 times in different places after a total uninstall. nada.

click on icon twirls... then nothing happens twirl stops. ru n as admin and also compatible with Win z.

I have Win 10.

Tried 'run' again from final window ... nothing happens. I thought this is where it finalizes and I am then asked for my product key. nada!

Hello

As far as I know, some users I know have reported several issues with FS9 under Windows 10. The last platform where FS9 ran like a charm, was Windows 7. It is really annoying how those lads from Microsoft redesigns everything to make you buy new software, no matter if you have already spent a lot of money on your favorite applications.

Long live for Windows 7... I will never upgrade to Windows 10.
 
It's the CD-in-the-drive copy protection and CFS3 has the same problem. You need the no-CD version.

W10 doesn't support this copy protection any more.
 
I have FSX and wanted to reinstall FS9 as well. So where can I get the no-cd thing again? and when I get it where do I put it and how?
 
BTW- A friend of mine has only FS9. I made a battleship (BB55) and sent it. He installed it and said it was there but upside-down and the rotating radars were stationary and the ship was rotating! hahaha I had taken this into MCX and exported as a makemdl object and sent it. I think I also sent this as an makemdl style mdl.

The ship did look upside-down in MCX. is there something I can do in MCX to flip this house? ;)

Years ago I had something similar happen... I made my first and only flyable plane in FSDS. I tried to fly it and everything looked funny. I finally saw I was flying backwards! Someone told me to go back into FSDS , select all, and rotate 1800 degrees. That worked. Bob
 
hahaha! Whatever that is I guess it's terminal!

Just fixed it. ship is now upright and I took out the animation. My ambient did not transfer well over to tick 18 when I save the model as makemdl. Small potatoes.

Just loaded the no-cd exe ... fs9 starts to open the black screen. I go to task mgr and end task... as it blinks out I see the fs9 screen behind it all before it goes away. changed my screen setting a few times without success. 1280x1024x32.... etc. Anyway it's closer to what I had.

All I wanted it for was to check out fs9 sceneries - if sent to me- so I can see what it should look like so I can compare with what I do to convert to FSX. Been quite successful doing this. Friend of mine sends me fs9 stuff and says - hey let's use this and add to it! Rather not but that's life. Bambi- how ya doing these days?
 
Bob,
I have FS9 installed with the nocd patch on my W10 laptop. It works fine. I don't recall any instillation problems. So it is possible.

I've run FS9 on every Microsoft OS from XP to 10.
 
Good to hear from you ! BJ. Got it running. Funny. I had to jump through all kinds of bell's and whistles and finally got FSX running. Same with FS9 because I had deleted FS9 a few weeks before going to Win 10. Other friends had no problem. Yet still others still having problems. Machin differences or Win 10 style of download.... dunno. Oh well. Hope all is well with you and yours. Bob
 
Doing well, thanks. I also have had FSX on this laptop. It is now on another desktop that I built for it. This laptop came with W10. I bought W10 for the desktop. I also have two computers that I upgraded to W10. One from 7 and one from 8.1. I haven't tried FS on either of them, but I wonder if there might be something in the upgrade that causes problems.
 
Don't forget, FS9 needs the v1.1 patch before you can use the no-cd. It will not work without it.
