Hey, I have 2 questions, minor but annoying.
Every time I launch Flight from Steam it pops up the UAC dialog. It doesn't matter if I click yes or no, the game still runs, but if I click Yes I see it say "Installing Step 1 of 1" or some such thing.
Also, when I get to the main game menu, it always tells me my graphics card doesn't meet the minimum requirements, even if I check the box never to tell me again.

Forgot to add, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

Are you using vista? Are you on an admin account? Would help to have more information to go on.

Sorry, been out traveling, I didn't have a chance to reply.
I'm running Win 7 64-bit, whatever the latest service pack + Windows Updates are, admin account, UAC enabled.

edit: System specs, sorry duh:
i7-2600
8gb RAM
Radeon HD 4850 or 4870? I'll have to check when I get home.

mazda charles, FYI, w.r.t. your second issue:
"when I get to the main game menu, it always tells me my graphics card doesn't meet the minimum requirements, even if I check the box never to tell me again."

This has been solved (at least on my system) with the latest Title Update. check the box, and the minimum requirements notice will never bother you again! :)

Yes, we fixed the problem with that button. I forgot to put it in the change list for the TU. Whops!

Hey, I made the first-time setup dialog go-away. I deleted the "Setup" folder in the game directory. The loading screen is also now MUCH faster. It only takes a few seconds.
Hope I didn't break anything. :o
Just in case, the setup folder will stay in the recycle bin a while ;)

Yes, it always runs me through that "first-time setup" for some reason.
