| 557535 | 2007-06-09 05:00:00 | Guys -- I am confused -- I have had a PC made for me with all the expensive bits to run FS X -- I have a dual core 64 bit processor--2 gig Ram etc--I want to install Vista on a drive of its own to get the full benefit of the Flight Sim-- however it seems that the cheaper Vistas are 32 bit & there is some blah about buying a disc to allow 64 bit-- if I install Vista (alongside XP) -will the Flight Sim know & just run at 64 bit automatically? chrs | alcra (12031) | ||

FS9 with XP is the way to go. Vista is a dog. FS X will be OK in a couple of years |

| 557540 | 2007-06-09 21:41:00 | Jack, he wants to be able to utilize the DX10 part of FSX... and VISTA is not bad... it is the DRIVERS that lead to poor GFX performance. Why do you ALWAYS try to turn people away from what they want to do? clearly he wants DX10 GFX... Why not let him? FSX is only a 32-bit program IIRC so it should still run on 64-bit Vista, but it will not run in 64-bit |

| 557541 | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | Thanks TEOR -- wasting my time then --save some money-- Jack I been years on FS 9 -- FX is far superior -- loaded down SP 1 and it has speed up considerably-- great scenerey-- |

| 557542 | 2007-06-09 22:19:00 | TBH I would go for the 32-bit version of Vista... 64-bit drivers are still not really up to scratch and you loose the ability to run 16-bit programs I would look at going 64-bit maybe when Windows Vienna comes out in 2009... What CPU and GFX card have you got? And there have been a new set of nVidia drivers released no too long ago which should improve FPS so they are working on it. |

| 557544 | 2007-06-10 01:58:00 | Nothing wrong with FSX . I love it . . actrix . co . nz/trevw/TomCat . JPG" target="_blank">users . actrix . co . nz Trevor :) I agree fsx has it's good points . My grizzle with it is it takes far,far to long to load . And it requires such a high spec computer . Just as a comparrison . I have an X6800 cpu , 2 gigs ram and an 8800 vid card . FSX struggles to hold 25 fps with graphics set anywhere near maximum . FS9 flies like a dream at over 70fps and every slider full right . And AA on 12 . And I love all the addon scenery available for fs9 . In fsx you are stuck,for the present, with Msoft's idea of what things look like . eg . Milford sound . . I have tried fsx with Vista and IMO it's evern slower . I have both fs's loaded, but hardly ever bother with fsx |
