    3 games of flying wont work in win 10. Strike Fighters, 1 and 2 plus Wings
    over Vietnam.

    They do work on xp/vista/7/8.0/8.1 under directx9c.
    Suspect directx12 is the problem.

    Tried all compatability modes for all of above with no joy.

    If i reinstalled directx9 what damage to win 10 could i expect??

    thanks,
    clif

    Hi clif. What happens when you attempt to run the games? Do you get an error message?

    DX12 should be compatible with DirectX 9, 10 and 11. You shouldn't try to install an older DirectX version manually at all. You can really hose your Windows installation that way.

    Sometimes it helps to run the installer in "compatibility mode" for XP-SP3.

    OK, I'll stick with diredtx12.

    Various problems -
    splash screen so large i cannot get to any "options" buttons to setup flight.
    sometimes just a black screen, need to go task manager to get back to win.
    sometimes no mouse.
    sometimes just a small window that says it crashed.

    Good news tho - a gamer created variation of SFP1 works as intended, just
    crashes when i quit game. Works under win8 compatibility settings.

    I'll keep trying diff things.

    thanks for the help,
