Can someone tell me if FS Build works with Windows 7. I'm following the manual and cannot create flight plansVersin 2.3Tim

Works just fine for me. I have Win7 Pro 64 bit. You have to set up FSBuild properly for it to work. Install by using Run as Administrator. Ken

I have it working with Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.I did have one problem with saving plans .....As part of setting up FSbuild you have to put the path to the FS software in the options. I found that there can be problems if the path is too long. I do not use the default path name as I keep my FS Software installation on a separate drive.To get round the problem I created a folder with a short name by using the MKLINK command. You then point FSBuild to the short name and plans are saved but the FS software picks the plans up in the correct 'long name' directory.I also tend to run the software in administrator mode in case it needs to update the registry.

Hello timInstall FSBuild using Admin privileges but do not install to Program Files(x86) install to C:\fsbuildPrograms installed to Program Files (x86) will not write their data to the appropriate folders specified bythe program itself, but rather to a so-called virtual store to which theadd-on aircraft have no access.See this post over at the FSCommander forumhttp://forums.simflight.com/viewtopic.php?f=155&t=78476
