Ideal Flight is designed for Windows security compatibility and will automatically choose elevated privileges when installing or removing the application. Rather than choosing "Run as Admin", install and removal procedures will detect the current privileges, and will pop-up the UAC dialogue asking for elevated privileges if need be.

With FSX Steam Edition we generally set the Ideal Flight desktop shortcut to Run as Admin. See help pages for more details.

Make sure no other programs, Explorer windows, add-ons, or simulator, are running when installing, removing, or running Ideal Flight the first time after installation.

Ideal Flight places the Briefing, an HTML file, into the Documents folders and this may be seen as suspicious behaviour by some anti-malware products. In those cases, we can exclude the folders from the security checking.

Example:

"C:\Users\UserName\Documents\Prepar3D v5 Files"
"C:\ProgramData\Ideal Flight Professional"

Back up your profile folder: You can install newer versions of Ideal Flight over the old installation. The program files are overwritten, but your settings will be preserved. Some settings may be reset to default.

The Ideal Flight installation program will patch update or fully install and it's not much bigger than a screenshot. You can download whenever you want and install straight over the current installation to continue with the most up-to-date version of IF. You don't need to extract the file from the zip, just run from the zip contents viewed in explorer.

The Ideal Flight installation program has to check your FSX installation and may appear suspicious to your security software. The security program does this as a precautionary measure to guard against malware. Please choose to continue the Ideal Flight installation.

Compatibility: Do not change Windows compatibility settings for the installation file the installation may fail. Sometimes errors can creep into Windows compatibility settings; if IF10 won't install right-click and try the repair compatibility settings option. The Ideal Flight program is installed correctly when the installation program finishes normally. Always choose "this program installed correctly" if a compatibility message pops up.

Ideal Flight works with Microsoft Windows 11, and all Windows operating systems from and including Windows XP. In the event of international systems utilising extended character sets for logon names; compatibility for FSX, P3D, and their plethora of add-ons is best obtained by adding a user with a name composed from the simple character set aA..zZ, and installing all with that logon. Please Note: Ideal Flight does not support extended characters for user names within the file system at this time.

If you are updating it is best to perform a scenery re-index in Ideal Flight after the update. Right-click on the startup page and choose "Maintain Indexes" from the popup menu.

Registration requires an internet connection.

In some cases, internet browser security settings may need reducing, or internet security programs may need to be disabled to allow IF10 to complete the registration process.
