Has anyone with W7 x64 tried FSX within Virtual WXP x64?

Just wondering if FSX would work better using the technique.

Not likely McC.. your one (even though multi-core) proc isn't going to handle a second operating system with FSX on top. A VMWare server with four multi-core procs with a minimum of sixteen gig - preferrably 32 gig of ram would do it. Something like this:-http://www.networks2000.com/servers/dl580.htm

HelloIf FSX would work better under XP64 (which it does) why not just run XP64 ?

I don't think DirectX 10 and 11 work in WXP. What about the newer games coming out?

What problems are you having with Windows 7?

I have Windows 7 and you can't run FSX in virtual XP. Actually you can't run any game in virtual XP mode.Why? Because you cannot run any application which uses DirectX in Windows 7 virtual XP mode. DirectX isn't supported in virtual XP.And BTW when you run virtual XP in Windows 7 it is Windows XP 32 bit.Todd

No problems, just curious.
