Hello simmers, Is there any particular computer thats best for flight simulator? I use a toshiba windows 7 and I cant install ai aircraft or add sceneries...what computer would be best for fs9?

why cant you add sceneries? is it because it bogs your system or it just wont install?I ask because there is a" trick" to installing sceneries in win7

Hello, actually i can install sceneries but everytime i install them they come off everytime i shut the game down, so i have to load them each time i turn the game on. i think the last computer i had was a vista and the sceneries were saved and i didnt have to reload them each time i get on.

It sounds like software (anti-virus,deepfreeze or something like that) issues to me, not the hardware.

It is not a virus, it has something to do with windows 7 .Although I still havent found out why.......? :(

There is a dedicated Win 7 forum here which would be a good place for you to look for answers.http://forum.avsim.net/forum/348-the-win7-os-forum/I suspect you installed FS2004 under the default "Program files" location rather than elsewhere as is now recommended by many. A little research before you installed FS2004 might have saved a good deal of frustration.Anything installed under "Program files" is subject to the Security and Permissions checks which abound in Win 7.This issue and recommendations for getting around it is covered in several threads in the Win 7 forum.Hope that helps.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9 is the directory my current install is under not default "Program files" location. The problem still stands.

That is exactly where it should not be. Do some research as has been suggested.

Ideally your installation should be somewhere else - perhaps in a folder like C:\FSGames. There are many discussions about this in the dedicated Win 7 forum which I previously mentioned.But since it is not, you can try these things (also found in the Win 7 forum):1. Right click on your FS9.exe file and under Properties and then Compatibility, set it to "run as adminstrator".2. Prior to attempting to install any scenery, temporarily turn off UAC (User Account Control) by setting to "Never notify".It is unwise to leave UAC turned off as that will leave your computer vunerable.Try those things and see if your scenery additions will stay recorded properly.

In answer to your original question, a good place to start would be for you to tell us the spec of your PC. Telling us Windows 7 and nothing else makes it a bit hard for us to answer your query.
