[SOLVED]FSX:SE latest update killed my FS Force
Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2015 8:17 pm
I have been using FS Force forever, and most recently it was working fine on FSX:SE with Windows 10 RTM (update 10240).
But last weekend Dovetail Games released an update, apparently to improve the way FSX:SE deals with Windows 10 and DirectX 12.
Now, when I run FSX:SE I get the following pop-ups over the splash screen:
"Flight Simulator is attempting to start "FS Force" (Version 2.8.0.5, Config Entry Number 1). Do you want to run this program?
C:\Program Files(x86)\FS Force 2\FSForce.exe
Yes\No"
If I say "Yes", this error pops up:
"Flight Simulator has detected a problem with a third-party software program (add-on):
Name: Unknown
Version: 2.6.2.4
Company: Dirks Software
File: C\Program Files(x86)\FSForce 2\FSForce.dll
Do you want to run this software (not recommended)?
Yes\No"
If I say "No", FSX:SE starts normally, but with no FS Force.
If I say "Yes", the popup disappears, but FSX:SE just hangs at the splash screen.
I hate running FSX without FS Force!
Any suggestions for getting FS Force to run with the latest update of FSX:SE and Windows 10?
