[FSX stops working as soon as I attempt to load Discus glider]

go into your control panel and under User accounts and family safety-user accounts-turn user account control on or off and uncheck the box and try again. It fixed my problem last night.

edit..it will require a re-boot

Thanks Dave - that did the trick although I do hope there is a fix in the future so that User Account Control does not have to be switched off.

[FSX stops working as soon as I attempt to load Discus glider]

Hi,

I purchased the Discus glider package today and installed it on FSX running on 64 bit Windows 7. As soon as I attempt to load the Discus glider FSX instantly stops working and closes down. I have tried running WinchX with the glider that comes with FSX and it works perfectly.

I then decided to see what happens on a 32 bit machine - I installed the software onto the same PC, this time running 32 bit Vista and FSX. This time the glider loaded but after 30 seconds FSX closed down just as it had under Windows 7.

I have repeated both of these tests many time and the results are always the same.

I have not any any problems with any other Aerosoft products and am a bit surprised.

Any ideas?

Shaun

p.s. I have all the correct .NET patches etc. installed
