February 18, 200917 yr Alright, so I have not installed anything yet. I have a Quad Core processor. I understand you can run XP on another core? I just really don't want to hassle between Vista and XP if I don't have to. I am getting used to Vista now, and I am trying to keep things simple on my new system. Any help regarding the addons would be soooo greatly appreciated. Here are the addons that I am hoping to add to FS 2004... Again, I just wanted to know if these will work or not running on Vista. Thanks guys and gals!!! :( MegaScenery USA 2004 for Microsoft Flight Simulator Volume 3PMDG Boeing 737 NG 600/700 Flight 1 Ultimate Traffic Iron Knuckles DC-9PC Aviator Mega City USA 2005 San FranciscoPSS Dash 8-300PMDG B1900

February 18, 200917 yr Vista 64 does not like RCB guages. Avoid the Flight 1 Commander 112. Had trouble with the FSD Piper Meridian. Both used the RCB guages. Check the RCB page for more in-depth info. You've got to disable all those God forsaken permissions. Vista runs many things with stability and smoothness. Others..... Flight 1 has a good piece on Vista. I suggest checking on individual vendor pages to get an idea of software compatibility. You will have quite a learning process ahead of you. Ahhh....the mysteries of Microsoft.

February 19, 200917 yr Hi voices88.As mentioned, there are many issues with compatibility. I am not sure who is to blame, mostly MS, but there are many aircraft that will run on XP/Vista64 FS9 and FSX, like the TBM 700, and there are others, like most of the Flight1 that seem to be very specific, a pain. You have to start them a certain way, and forget about porting them, like from FS8 to FSX. The 112, Cardinal, Cherokee6 all are in this category. They really need to learn to get these things developed to be more useful, I basically stopped using them. The developers need to make the code work in all the combinations. It can be done, you can see many that are doing it, and there are some that never seem to make them right even for the specific combination / set up that was supposed to work with. TV
