I can start a custom flight in the 'Flight Simulator' and I can play.
BUT the screen becomes semi-transparent white in the hangar and freeze the game.
Why?
I use a fully updated Win10Ent. (x64) with a GTX1070 vidcard what uses the newest driver.
GOG version. The screen becomes semi-transparent white in the hangar and freeze the game. :hilfe:

Vanilla mean nothing added, your's is modded
You no longer need to install DTM's Superbackdrop, as it's incorporated into the XWAUCPv1.5 it has been for a few versions now
All the XWAUCP will do is work in the background and uninstall DTM's Superbackdrop as it's replaced with a newer updated version
try uninstalling everything, reinstall gog, then test it to see if it works, only then install XWAUCP and test again, then if it still doesn't work i.e. it crashes, come back and report it
Can't help you much as I only use Win7

Ok, I uninstalled the whole and reinstalled but the same thing happens! Everything looks ok, the program changes the camera position etc. but the screen becomes semi-transparent white in the hangar and freeze the game and the program keep on changes the camera position etc. just before.
sadly, I can not use this great graphical upgrade! :'(

Hello,
Does the work if you don't install any mod? I mean just install the GoG version without anything else. Don't install any craft pack or backdrops pack or patch, just the base game. Then try to run the game.

Ok, i tried and the completely vanilla version does not works neither! So, I'm sorry I mentioned this error!
But I tried on my Win7 Ult. (x64) system and both versions work on there!
So, my Win10 system has the problem with this WHOLE GAME!
PLEASE, TELL ME WHY CAN I PLAY WITH THE 'Flight Simulator' IN THIS GAME ONLY; AND WHY CAN I NOT WITH THE WHOLE GAME?

I see that the GOG installer for X-Wing Alliance has been updated on 1/22/2018.
Did you download it before or after this date?

The new version (GOG version) is dated 24 January 2018.
I've read the Changelog.
Internal Update (24 January 2018):
enabled DirectPlay on install (Windows 8 / 10)
I don't think this has something to do with this problem, but just give it a try downloading the new version now.

Becoming white in the hangar usually is because it detects the game does not check the Windows event queue.
The reason is that instead of doing that it gets input from DirectInput only.
Do you have any unusual input or controller drivers?
Could you try xwahacker (the GUI version) and check the "Fix keyboard not working in hangar" button?
Unfortunately none of the people who had the same issue reported back on whether this helps or not...

I've fixed the app hang in xwa_ddraw_d3d11 v1.3.2.
Thanks Jeremya for figuring it out! I merged your changes to my version as well, I expect to make a 1.5.5 release of my version some time next week, too, in case there is anyone who prefers that version 
Feel free to PM me if you think we need to do things differently to avoid confusion between our versions.
