Is there a Preferred Download Source for Windows 10 Users?

Just adding to my first posting. Got it to work by using an earlier download. With that the "Official" patch found here works. The DirectX 9 installation fails but the sim runs anyway. You will NOT, however, see anything unless you specify "Full Screen = No" in main.cfg.

So, my question now is - are other captains able to use Full Screen from within Windows 10?

Yes, I do. I bought and downloaded it from Amazon, and it works fine, as far as I can tell.

I am still working on the sub school, so I have not done a career yet, but I have not yet had any issues. I downloaded it onto a computer that had Windows 10, as opposed to upgrading to Windows 10, don't know if upgrading a computer with SH4 already on it to Windows 10 would affect anything.

Thanks De Ruyter. As indicated in my last reply to myself I got the thing working just fine except the full screen setting does not work. As my monitor is native mode 2550 x 1600 and 28 inches the simulation area is too small. My workaround is to use Control Panel to lower the display resolution temporarily to 1440 x 900 which looks very nice. I might still try the Amazon offering. Does full screen mode work for you?

Today I installed to another of my big PCs and full screen works perfectly without having to alter screen resolution so ... went back to the first machine where I could not get full screen yesterday and it works there too - without changing a thing. DirectX 9c still will not install but who needs it. Everything displays s it should with what's already installed for Windows 10.
