I saw on a compatibility website that FSX Deluxe is incompatible with 64 bit Windows 7. Is that a fact, and if so, has a fix been found to correct that?Thanks.Dewey

I'm not sure what FSX Deluxe is but FSX Gold (FSX + Accel) works just fine running under Windows7 64-bit. I use it every day.Frank

Dewey,I can Echo Frank's comment. I use FSX Gold Edition with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, and it works just fine.

FSX in all its incarnations seems to work fine with W7-64. I've been running it that way for a long time now with no problems.

There is no FSX Gold edition!FSX Gold is just FSX Deluxe plus FSX Acceleration with both DVDs in the same plastic case.When installing, be sure to start/fly/exit FSX before instaling Acceleration.Cheers,- jahman.

The only thing i noted was that FSX didn't seem to play too well with the W7 64 bit Nvidia videodrivers.IAN

FSX runs perfectly fine here with the nVidia drivers on Windows 7 64 bit...

Hi,Win 7 Professional 64 bit ATI card. No problems here with Gold Edition.

As I said before, there is no FSX Gold edition, onlt FSX Deluxe + FSX Acceleration packaged together.Cheers,- jahman.

Don't be so pedantic. You know exactly what we mean.

No, I don't, so please explain.

HelloYou are both in a way correct, but currently the only way to buy FSX + Acceleration in the same box is to buy FSX GOLDTherefore FSX GOLD does exist and is available directly from these folk who are pretty clued up on FSX versionshttp://emea.microsoftstore.com/UK/en-GB/Microsoft/Flight-Simulator-X-Gold-Edition.To deny that it does not exist is a bit silly really, and makes you look like you enjoy creating arguments in the forums for your own amusement.

You should know better than call a packaging/merchandising decision a "software version".There are four versions of FSX (FSX, SP1, SP2, Acceleration) and "Gold" is just not one of them.Cheers,- jahman.

Jahman you're talking about definitive versions of the software. That's great. Most people don't have a clue about this stuff and don't care. Of course the Gold Edition is a version of FSX. It's the top-of-the-range edition! Yes it's the same as FSX+Acceleration packaged as one product. Everyone knows exactly what he's talking about because he said he has the Gold Edition. To the technical people who are interested in what goes on beneath the packaging, like you, it's pretty obvious to deduce that he has FSX+Acceleration, so why make an issue out of nothing.As for FSX on Windows 7 64 bit, it runs miles better on 64 bit Windows on my machine than 32 bit. Very happy with 64, won't ever go back! (This applies to all versions of FSX)

HelloWrong againThere are four official retail versions plus two service packs.When someone comes into the forum and says they have FSX Gold installed, the more perceptive amongst us understand fully what he means.We could all be totally pedantic in our discussions on the forums but it would not help anyone, would it ?Here are the four official versions, please ignore the one in the bottom right if if it does not match with your version of reality.
