Hello everyone!
I tried a searche but didn't find anything:
on my Win10 the keyboard doesn't work, making impossible going over the callsign screen. Compatibility to WinXP is not working...
I didn't find any solution for this particular problem, anybody knows something?


edit.: I know of the existence of FSPort, but my question was about not searching for mods and third party stuff

Have you tried more recent compatibility modes like windows 7?
Though sincerely I'd really use FSopen to play the game, it can be played without the "mediavps" with the vanilla graphics and everything if you prefer it that way.

Yes, but still not working. Actually now I am also using FSO, it is pretty good, but I had just this doubt to solve

There might be some weird windows setting interfering, there are some settings (meant to save on battery power for laptops I hear) that for some reason win10 sometimes activates by default, they usually interfere with joysticks but I guess some keyboards might be problematic too.

I have the same problem. No buttons do anything including the mouse. The cursor moves but clicks don't do anything. I had the same problem with the remastered version of Bioshock recently but that was fixed by closing the game via windows and restarting, no such luck with FS.
