Hi

I am just returning to virtual flying, I tried to get swift to work with FS9, and whilst the new orientation still says swift works with FS9, it only seems to work with as far back as FSX?

Swift works in FS9,but you need a minimum of Windows7 for it to work.

Apologize if this is a little snarky, but the first thought I had when I read your post....

Did you read the instructions and try yourself, or would you like one of our customer service agents to come to your house and just do it for you?

In all seriousness, if you are having troubles, please post here with what step in the installation process you are having trouble with, including screen shots (if applicable) of any error messages you are seeing....

@Jonathan Graham EnglandNah, please don't be sorry to ask.  My kids say I have a warped sense of humor.  My wife just says I'm not funny at all...

In any case, I'm old school.  The way I learned, you look it up, try, try, try until you bleed a little, then you try some more 🙂  Us salty old bast__ds sometimes think the world is getting soft and people don't want to read and/or put in any effort to achieve something anymore.  It's an awful overgeneralization, I know.

So I really do ask you to forgive me for my (potentially weak) attempt at a little humor.  No harm or disrespect meant.

So, moving on, in all seriousness, if you are having troubles, please post here with what step in the installation process you are having trouble with, including screen shots (if applicable) of any error messages you are seeing....

Hey, saw this, what you need (if you don’t already have it) is FSUIPC, it allows FS9 to connect to outside plugins, just search for it and on the first website it has the download, and an activation code
