I have Realflight G4.5, G5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8, 9.5s and Evo installed on my Windows 11 machine. They all work fine.

I run an AMD 7950X3D and a NVidia 3080 GPU on my main system.
@csgill75 that is a great PC to run Realflight on, good to see the AMD CPU has no issues with RFE.
I run RF7.5, RF8, RF9.5 and RF Evo on Windows 11, using an Intel i7-13700k and RTX4080.
Unfortunately, if I disable my RTX 4080 and use just the i7-1300k with the IGPU for graphics, then RF7.5, and RF8 will not work, I have to use the DXVK file to get around that problem, but RF9 will not load/run even with the DXVK fix.

hi @asj5547 , could you please explain what are the issues that DXVK fixes?
I have Real Flight 7.5 with latest update for this version: 7.50.015.
In my case, the game works, except I cannot configure my controller: nothing happens when I click the menu to select a controller under the "Simulation" menu (see second screen shot below).
Also, I can play with an airplane but not with an helicopter: "Unexpected error. Do you want to send an error report to Knife Edge Software?" (see screen shot below).
Could DXVK help?

The DXVK file is a workaround for computers with a 12th or 13th gen CPU AND using the Intel graphics video adapter (IGPU).
Intel dropped support for DirectX9 (that is what RF7.5 on).
If your computer has a 12th or 13th gen CPU AND a dedicated video adaptor, such as, Nvidia or AMD then RF7.5 should work okay without the DXVK file.
Does that error show with all helicopters or just the Rave 90 ENV Electric?

Go to the forum page link I have posted below, in post #5 you will see a zip file to download that contains the d3d9.dll file that needs to be copy and paste into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Realflight7 folder, it will probably ask for administrator permission, click "Continue".
Make sure Realflight 7.5 is not running during the file update.

@asj5547 using the dll file d3d9.dll from the post you pointed out solved all my issues, thank you very much!
I noticed the dll is old, there are several newer versions here: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases would it be worth to use a newer version?

I have tested DXVK 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 versions of the d3d9.dll and they all work good. I have not noticed any real difference between the versions, as far as, stability or speed Etc. all are stable.
So yeah, download the latest and have fun flying in the simulator.

I tried the d3d9.dll solution, but it prevents RF from starting at the very beginning.
I have exactly the same problem with RF7.5, Windows 11 and Intel i7, 12 th generation processor. No helicopters and missing menus such as select controller. I can still fly planes by modifying the controls in the plane edit menu, rather than in the controller menu. I do not see the wind menu when I use up and down keys to change the strength, but the wind changes all the same if I press the function key at the same time and pgup and pgdn. Same function + home/end to change the wind direction.
