Miscellaneous Tricks or Workarounds Concerning FSX

Like we stressed that, the Microsoft FS franchise is not a kind of software which may work at ist best out of the box. Mostly, some useful or even needed features will need that you perform tricks or workarounds to have the feature work correctly. Such modifications will be easily found using a search engine on the Internet. Some of those helps however may proved difficult to put at work. That's why we will give hereunder, as needed and when we will experiment such processes, such tricks or workaround we successfully used for ourselves. Our hints are mostly dedicated to FSX SP2 and Acceleration Pack under Windows 8.1 (and when Windows 10 that is signaled)! CAUTION! AS THE PROCESSES DESCRIBED WILL NEED that you intervene into FSX, or even your computer system's, folders or files, YOU WILL TAKE CARE to make a backup copy of any folder or file which you consider modifying, so to be able to be back to the original settings in case of trouble! When using the tricks or workarounds of that page, YOU WILL TAKE CARE, generally! It is possible that our descriptions may work also with other versions of the FS franchise or of Windows but any attempt will be under your liability and you will obviously increased your caution posture in terms of those!

->Some General Precautions to Take Against a Computer Crash or Failure
As the experience shows, computers can crash, for whatever reasons, or have some troubles working, or the FS may crash too. In the case of the Flight Simulator franchise, that may be annoying, mostly when you own freewares or paywares in number. Thus here are following some useful advices regarding that:

first and above all, make a large backup of all your files and your installable personal programs (under the form of the original zips, for example or the registration key). That may be done on a Cloud or a USB drive, for example. Then just save any new or modified file, or program. I personally save daily anything I change on the Cloud and I bring back weekly all what I have saved unto a USB drive
as far all your personalized folders and files which come with your FSX are concerned, that can also be said! Those are mostly found at your FSX folder, which is usually at C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator X; other items too may lie inside the SDK folder, usually at C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator X SDK. Also, mostly, don't forget folders and files which are found through checking Hidden Elements into the File Explorer, at Display. Those folders now will appear faded in the File Explorer (as those are usually sensitive items, take care of not damaging anything). At path usually C:Users--your user name-- first look into Documents and Flight Simulator X Files (saved files, etc.); at last, at path usually C:Users--your user name--AppDataRoamingMicrosoft, check in FSX. The best, often, will be to just backup both folders entirely. Think about, at last, the scenery.cfg, which is usually at C:Program DataMicrosoftFSX (that path also need Hidden Elements, check above). Another series of reference files and folders is also at path (idem Hidden Elements) C:ProgramDataMicrosoftFSX
then, is sounds useful to prepare a startup USB drive or any emergency backup with your current Windows version (procedures vary according to the version). That will allow you to start your computer from emergency backup, and to reinstall your operating system. It is also useful generally, to find and write down the activation key for your original, factory install as it is keeping valid along with the evolution of your PC. Installers of Windows may ask for it, for example. Find tools appropriate on the Internet ('tools' plural because each different such tool will not give you necessarily a same key :-() to search the key (usual caution about unwanted softwares which could be also installed with the tool; caution too not to mistake the activation key --which holds letters too-- with the ID key --mostly numbers). Then keep those keys somewhere on your smartphone, for example, so to be able to use it during a reinstall, and only a activation process will tell which key is the good one ;-)

In case of a failure here are some more advices (which are of avail for Windows 10 only)

for the less worse cases: using the F9 (of F8) key at startup, you will be able to access the blue Advanced Tools panel and go to the DOS window. In there, tape chkdsk c: /f /r a prompt which check and repair your hard drive (if not the c: one, use the approriate letter). A other command, mostly used from inside Windows through the DOS or Powershell window is sfc /scannow which performs the same with the dism additional prompt (check more on the Internet)
a somewhat worst case 1: during 10 days, Windows 10, in the cases of a major update, allows you to downgrade to a previous version. Check at Parameters, Update and Security, Reparation
a somewhat worst case 2: on that same page that just above, you will find a function called 'Reinitialize that PC' (CAUTION! that process will erase you personal applications installed --have thus a backup of those like described above-- and some of the Microsoft ones; check more with the texts of the process)
the worst of cases: your PC is completely blocked and you have no more alternative except being back to your original, factory settings. The whole disk where the install occurs will be erased and the process is going to reinstate your PC like it was when you bought it (ATTENTION! HENCE THE NECESSITY to have a backup of one's files and reinstallable personal programs. The command for the process is found inside the blue Advanced Tools panels (F9 or F8 key at startup). Thence, you will have then to walk back down to Windows 10 and then to reinstall all your personal files and programs

At last, should you want to use some freeware to improve the maintenance of your Windows operating system, just procede with extreme care. Some freewares proved infecting PCs with viruses, some others may slow a PC when let installed or even crash a PC with no any solution to recover (the Iobit drivers installer is of those as some drivers are better not to be installed), and those freeware may attempt, generally, to install unwanted bars and tools to your browser, for example. Of interest however, despite of the previous remark, are the Iobit freewares (multi-linguage site) as they allow to a real scan and improvements of PCs! Just begin with their 'Advanced SystemCare!'
