Hey avsim,I was wondering if FSX was compatible with the XBox 360.towerdude

No.

Well, why does it say on the back of the case that it's compatible with the xbox 360?

Hi, Because I have paper disk envelopes I can't check mine, but might it say that FSX is compatible with the XBox 360 controller? Because that would be true.

Hmmm. I thought you could put the disk into the xbox and maybe it would install. I don't have one so, I don't know how it works.

OK, what does it say on the back of the case about the XBox 360?

it says that it's compatible with it, but that doesn't make sence.

Can you type out the whole few sentences for me, word for word, as they appear on the case?

I still have my FSX Deluxe Edition box and I can't see Xbox mentioned anywhere on it. (Australian, New Zealand release)

Well it says Supports Xbox 360 Controller for Windows.

There is nothing on the container for my FSX disks that mentions Xbox. Microsoft FSX is a Windows application, and I don't think an Xbox has a Windows operating system. Funny, I just read a PC World article listing all the great games that were available only for a PC and could not be played on a game console. FSX was one of them.

Hi, Yes, exactly as I said. You can unplug the controller from your X Box, hook the controller (some know it as the game pad) up to your COMPUTER, install FSX on your COMPUTER and use the game pad to fly your plane. Now, if you don't have an X Box, and you don't have an X Box controller, then none of this makes a hill of beans difference and I am lucky that all I was doing is waiting for my FSX to load itself so I can make a flight!!

A controller isn't the same as an XBox. In fact, I remember the Microsoft guys showing off flying a plane with an XBox controller hooked up to a PC back when FSX was new. Can't imagine why you'd want to use one for that, but it's technically possible. Only when you plug that controller into a PC, of course.

I was kinda hoping that it would help the problems I've been having ever since I downloaded some large files. It skips, and it crashes on me whenever I try to open a new window in the game. FSX Hasn't co-operated with me for a while.
