Hi gfry10
I'm just a fellow simmer in the UK, but as the X-Plane 10 & 11 root folder structures are completely stand alone, there shouldn't be any reason why it should not load and open successfully, assuming of course that there are no other hardware/software issues going on?
Presumably if you look in File Explorer, your X-Plane 10 install directory looks something like C:\X-Plane 10....?
If you have to run the X-Plane installer, it will automatically give you the latest X-Plane 11 ver.11.30 edition.
You can however still download the X-Plane 10 version from their website, which doesn't take that long to install, assuming that you have high speed broadband?
Regards
