Please forgive if I'm duplicating here. My meager search ability didn't produce an answer for me. I've loaded Real Flight Evolution onto my brand new PC (plenty of memory, etc.) The controller lights eluminate, but the plane just sits on the runway. Can someone point me to the proper thread that speaks to this problem?

The brand new PC might be the problem. There's a known issue with RealFlight and Intel 12th Generation CPU's when you don't also have a separate graphics card like a "gaming" computer.
This post explains how to go into Windows and find out if this affects you.
The fact that you don't see a menu bar (or you see it for a moment and then it goes away) is normal for Evolution. They made a new set of menus that you access by pressing the ESC key. This post is one of many that explains how to get the older or "legacy" menu bar to stay visible at the top of the screen.

Frozen Screen
I have installed RF9.5 on my Windows 10 Laptop and it works great. I installed RF9.5 on my new desktop using Edge with Windows 11 and at first it worked. I logged off and now when I log back in, I see a screen with a jet on it but none of the functions work when I use the mouse to change...

Show the Legacy Menu System
I still haven't gotten used to the new menus, as I've mentioned over on RCGroups. I posted this hint about getting the old (legacy) menus back over on RCG, and I've been asked to post it here as well. Totally by accident, I found the command-line console for RealFlight. I'm sure it's documented...

Well, I just bought a brand new PC to run RF Evolution, it's an "all-in-one" PC under Windows 11 and it surely has no separate GPU (it has Intel IRISxe DirectX12). I used to run RF Evolution on my portable PC before and just wanted a larger screen but no gaming PC with tower and this stuff. After reading some of the posts about this subject, I'm pretty angry that nothing has been done to correct the problem since almost one year. I just spent 1800 dollars for nothing as I'm working on Mac... I'm located in Switzerland.

Something has been done. There are many, many posts on this subject. A version of RealFlight based on DirectX11 is in the works, and you can try it right now.
RealFlight Evolution DirectX 11 Public Beta
We are pleased to announce the public beta release of our DirectX 11 update for RealFlight Evolution. The move to DirectX 11 is a tremendous step forward for RealFlight from an underlying technology standpoint. DirectX 9 was a very stable platform that served us well for many years, but we’ve...
