Here's FSX running on Windows 10. It's not crippled, and it doesn't crash. And no other third party software 'patches' needed. You don't even need to use the Compatibility function.

NOTE: You HAVE to install SP2 or the Acceleration Pack to get the aircraft preview screen and full-screen mode working. Both enable DirectX10. If you are still getting a black screen, use Alt-Enter to go into windowed mode and then Alt-Enter to go back to full screen. It should display fine.

Here's some other useful information for FSX users.
