Desktop Composition(Areo)

Postby droberts1 » Wed Jun 22, 2016 3:10 am

Just installed Flyinside for FSX. On starting Flyinside I receive a message saying "Flyinside requires Desktop Composition (Aero) in order to run. Please enable it.Aero requires an Aero-compatible theme to activate." After clicking ok FSX and Flyinside just shutdown.

What is this and how is it activated?

Thank you for any help,
Eli

Ok so I worked the Aero thing out myself, I think. It starts now and I get to the VR but now it just says "Waiting for Sim" on the left, I load a flight, Virtual cockpit but all I am seeing the VR lenses is exactly what is on my desktop screen. How do I get into the 3D view? Sorry if I'm just dumb!!

Whilst flyinside works OK with the boxed version it still has a few quirks. I'm not telling you too but if you're interested then fsx steam edition is on sale til tomorrow for 6 quid. A great investment and it still gets updates. For your boxed edition find your FSX.cfg and save it as another name then fire up fsx and let it rebuild itself and then see how you get on ;)

Ok, renamed old fsx.cfg so FSX could rebuild a new one, but it still has same problem of "waiting for simulator" as before. Thanks for the advice re steam FSX, I will see how we go with the one I have first, as it would be great if I don't have to reinstall all the addons I have to the steam edition :?

Did you download and install both service packs for the boxed version ? I think it needs it if you didn't?

yes both service packs installed long ago. The only thing I don't have is Acceleration for FSX boxed version, but it never bothered me.

Something tells me Dan did it for sp2 and acceleration but I can't remember ? Could you email him from the shop page and he'll respond asap. He's usually very quick in responding mate ;)
