I'll have anoither look then Dave.
I must admit I didn't look on the Aerosoft site. It was what I read on this one that gave me the wrong impression!!
I now have and this is what it gives as System Requirements;
'System requirements:
Microsoft Flight Simulator X or 2004
Windows 7, Vista, XP
2.,8 GHz processor
2 GB RAM
DirectX 9 compatible graphic card with min. 512 MB'
Now I have Windows 10, P3Dv4.2 and I'm not sure if my graphics card will back date itself to Direct itself back to DirectX 9.
Now to my simple mind, none of my components bear a relation to those of FDC?
