Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Windows 10

I installed Windows 10 and the only program that does not work correctly is Microsoft Flight Simulator 10.  I was told by Microsoft that my Intel 4400 graphics card is the problem and by Intel that they do not have a Windows 10 driver for the Intel 4400.  What are the least expensive graphic cards that will run Microsoft Flight Simulator X on Windows 10?

    FSX seems not to be woring with Windows 10 since SOMEONE does not want to tell the truth about it.

    My system is an Intel i7, 3.2 GHz, 16 GB RAM, ASUS 1060 dual OC 6 GB graphics card and the absolute lowest graphic settings but still I get Out of memory on all approaches.

    Now I have tried all settings possible and spent about 30 hours in the FSX with PMDG Boeing 747 ver 3 and PMDB Boeing 738. Same problems regardless of aircraft BUT only in Windows 10.

    Windows 7 Ultimate which I had before the disgusting update worked fine with the most advanced graphics settings.

    So you can wonder what Microsoft is doing, more important to spy on users rather that a working professional Windows version.

    Win10 is JUNK!!!!

    Microsoft got us all to download Windows 10 and as we have problems with FSX they just ignore all requests for help. Come on Microsoft fix the problem. Should we go back to our previous operating system?

    If you're getting OOMs, then they are usually a result of depleted VAS.   I see you are using the PMDG aircraft and have experimented by turning down your settings.   What else is installed?  E.g.  scenery, photoreal scenery, detailed weather, etc.   All these can eat up VAS, especially during take off and approach/landing.   You have more than enough physical RAM, so no problem there - I suspect that VAS is your problem.

    Let me add something here, for all of you out there that have had and are still having issues with win 10 and FSX.  Ask yourself - why does steam FSX work but the dvd discs program will load and if it works - - only in demo mode????  Me thinks that when Microsoft and Dove got together to let dove/steam channel FSX Microsoft agreed to  "fix" it so that you would have to go to Steam to get the program to work properly.  Also, you will notice that if you use steam and then "delete" it and load FSX from disc

    • your FSX home page will come up steam as steam has planted  a command in your registry that will activate if you load FSX.  It's pretty simple actually.  Don't know what Dove paid Microsoft for "rights" to FSX but it makes sense dove would want to protect their investment.  And it makes sense that Microsoft is not going to blithely announce  -oh your FSX won't work because we have an agreement with dove.   Does Xplane work in win10?  Does Prepa3d work in win10?  Why doesn't your bought and paid for FSX program work???  Because Microsoft no longer "supports" the software???
