January 30, 201016 yr Hi I am sure this question has been asked before but does the new windows 7 improve FSXshafsShafsI don't see any improvement over Vista or any decrease in performance either. I upgraded to 7 soon after it's release, generally I am happy with it. Richard Richard Spencer Churchill PVT SEL GYSGT USMC (ret)
January 30, 201016 yr Commercial Member I don't think it specifically improves FSX at all but it's a far nicer OS than anything they've done up until now. The UI is awesome and the performance is no worse than XP from what I've seen in gaming stuff. Ryan MaziarzFor fastest support, please submit a ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com

February 4, 201016 yr Commercial Member I think i will just stick with XP thenPaulAssuming you're using 32-bit XP though, you will gain the ability to use more than 2GB of User Address space, which will drastically improve OOM errors and that kind of thing. XP is nearly 10 years old, I'd think about upgrading. Ryan MaziarzFor fastest support, please submit a ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com
February 4, 201016 yr I think i will just stick with XP thenPaulAre you using 32 or 64 bit XP? If you're using 32 bit and can upgrade to 64 bit W7, I'd do it without a second thought. I had a noticeable performance gain, in Windows that is, when making that switch while keeping everything else the same.

February 4, 201016 yr No i am useing 32. i have heard that some Programs have problems running XP64bit?PaulPaul,I've upgraded from Vista 32bit to 64bit Windows 7. I run FSX with 4GB of RAM and it helps out a lot for my system. No OOM errors yet. The Vista and 7 64bit experience and compatibility with 32bit applications is great, especially in 7! I have no issues.I don't know from personal experience, but I have heard that XP 64bit is not as refined at it is in 7. You really should think about moving to a 64bit OS if you are looking to make FSX to run better. Windows 7 64bit is the good next step.Derek R.
