A newbie here trying to switch over to XPlane 10 from MSFS X. It takes forever to load the demo. During the load-in, if any key is pressed or the mouse is moved, the load-in fails and I have to get out of it with the Task Manager. If I stay away from the machine the program will finally work with the 747 sitting there running and ready to go. I set up the CH Yoke and it reads the button presses, etc. But, once I'm on the main screen, nothing on either the keyboard or the yoke buttons or other axis (except the yoke itself) will work. Pressing F2 to apply throttles does nothing. So, there it is -- but a huge frustration because I'd like to fly it. Please help. maestrogn amd phenom II x4 9850 MSI 7850TM-E45 MS 7549 4 GHz RAM
