Just wondering if any one has this working on Windows 10 64 bit? I've installed it twice, no textures load in the sim and the panel back ground is white.

User error on loading the aircraft into the sim. Do you have to copy the default textures into the other folders?

the specs of my computer are:
Windows 10 64-bit
Intel Core i7 CPU 960 @3.20GHz
6.0GB RAM
NVIDEA GeForce GTX760

I can't recall how I've installed it, which most likely means I didn't have to do anything special. However I noticed this in the readme file:

VERY IMPORTANT !!!!!
Once you have installed the package using the EXE file you must go to the "...\SimObjects\Airplanes\B-25J RAF MkII\Gauge Registration" folder and double click on the "TG-FSX-RAF.bat" file, This will register the gauges and eliminate the huge numbers of warnings from FSX.

and

When you choose the "B-25J RAF MkII" you will be faced with a blank screen for some time (Several Minutes), do not worry this is normal. All the gauges are loading so that you will get smooth performance thereafter.

Cheers,
Huub

Roy is very ill at the moment, & is not able to any developing at all. He is really struggling with Parkinsons.

He really appreciates any chats from the community, so, if you are in the mood, drop him a line on roy@roychaffin.com

His plane is a classic 'must have' in FSX & FS2004.

Cheers,
Robin

Any other suggestions about getting the textures to work under Windows 10 64 bit, all my textures are white when the plane finishes loading. The textures are fine when selecting the aircraft.

Does FSX recognize textures that are in .bmp format?

Yes, it does

White textures -> model not FSX native -> not DirectX 10 compatible -> Disable "Directx 10 Preview" in FSX

Bjoern thank you! I feel like a fool. If I didn't figure this out I was really thinking about going back to windows 7.

How did you come by the Yellow Rose paint? I don't have that in my RC B-25 download.

It was never part of the package.

Roy created the Yellow Rose several years ago for a special occasion, that I can't remember. And I am not at home to check.

When I saw this one, i contacted Roy asking if there was a way I could get it, and he was very generous in providing it to me.

Several years ago I worked with the son of the main pilot who flew the Yellow Rose at airshows. Oddly, he had no interest in what his father did or aviation at all that I could tell. :dizzy:
