I deferred updating my primary PC on my simulator till the very last minute because I was very apprehensive about breaking something that as working really well. Of course, the last week of July came by soon and the deadline for Win 10 upgrade came up. With a ton of trepidation I finally hit the upgrade button!
After the upgrade was complete, I hesitantly turned all of the components of my sim. Surprisingly at first, everything seems to be working as before. That was not the case, though.
here are some of the fixes i had to go through and I am listing them below in case you have the similar issues.
FDS MCP G1 – Driver needed reinstall. Prosim needed to be configured again to use the correct COM port.
NVIDIA Settings – My PC lost all of its #FSX profile related #NVIDIA customizations. If you have a backup of the profile, you may be able to import it back.
FSX.CFG – Win10 registered NVIDIA #GTX card as a new entry in the FSX.CFG file. With that, FSX when started didn’t use the prior resolution, filtering and aliasing settings. I had to reset each of these settings to prior settings.
#UltimateTraffic2 – #UT2 would not start. It would ask for registration. When attempted to register, UT2 would come up with an “Invalid License File” notification. This is related to Windows Defender. Defender quarantines the license key file. Open Windows Defender and restore the Ultimate Traffic key file. Once this is complete, UT2 will run correctly. This short YouTube Video helped me resolve this issue.
With these changes, my simulator seems to be running normally. I did not need any changes to #ProSim737, #Aerosoft scenery or any other hardware drivers (which I have many of!).
Hope this helps.
