Real flight trainer not working

[wterpenn]

Hello,

I just downloaded the software through Steam. Based off what my specs are on the cpu, it seems everything should be compatible, but nothing happens when i load it up. Just shows the plane. Mouse moves, but cannot access the menu bar. I bound the ws2000 to my DX8, but nothing is responding.
Specs:
WIndows 11
12 gen intel core 17-1255u
16gb memory

Hoping i can get some help with this. Id like to have this just to practice a bit w/o taking my plane out.

Thank you.

This is your problem. The onboard GPU is not compatible with Dx9, which is used by RF. There are a bunch of posts/threads about the problem that suggest various workarounds. Since I don't have Evo or a 12th gen CPU, I can't verify exactly which ones work.

Look at this thread and download the beta fix.

Potential fix for Intel iGPU compatibility issues is now available (RealFlight Evolution and 9.5S)

*** UPDATE: RealFlight Evolution users, instead of this please try the new DirectX 11 public beta. *** As previously described here and widely discussed elsewhere on the forums, recent generations of Intel's processors can't run RealFlight using their integrated graphics processing unit (iGPU)...

Did that get the simulator working for you?

To get the new style menu, press the Esc key.
To get the old-style menu bar, press the ~ key and type "showlegacymenu" (less quotes) and hit enter, the old-style menu should now show at the top of the screen.

@wterpenn, in your original post you said you had RealFlight Trainer Edition, but you posted in the RealFlight 9 forum, and based on the above it sounds like you actually have RealFlight Evolution. Those are three different versions of the software. Can you please clarify?
