• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FS2004 2D panel gauges are frozen when installed on new Windows 10 PC

Back on the 12th my PC died on me (most likely a motherboard failure as when I turned it on I got no video signal nor any beep from the PC speaker) and needed to be replaced. I've now got most of my software installed on the new PC, but FS2004 still isn't working properly.

I installed FS2004 from my CDs to D:\Flight\FS9, followed by the 9.1 update and the NO-CD crack (as is required on Windows 10 due to its lack of secdrv.sys support: the same was true on the now-dead PC).

While I can start up FS2004 and load a flight, the 2D instrument panel is completely useless as the panel gauges and switches won't update (even on the default Cessna 172), except when a panel window is resized, closed then re-opened, or at the moment when FS2004 is switched between "Windowed" and "Full Screen" modes. Gauges on the virtual cockpit (in planes that have one of course) seem to be working normally.

Does anyone here have any idea what could have caused this problem, or even how I could investigate what's causing it? I'm desperate to get FS2004 working properly again so that I can re-start some development work. (I've also got a problem with badly aliased gauges in my FSX installation, but the FS2004 issue is more pressing for the time being...)

Thanks,

George
