May 25, 201313 yr Commercial Member so... we're starting to get into some pretty cool tech with our planes but, some of these cool items may or may not (not being more likely) work in Windows XP. So... I guess what I'm looking for here is how many of you are still using XP... Please contact oisin at milviz dot com for forum registration information.

May 25, 201313 yr Should make a poll. I'm on Win7 x64. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
May 25, 201313 yr Author Commercial Member I think we're just going to do like M$... drop support for it... Please contact oisin at milviz dot com for forum registration information. Please provide proof of purchase if you want support. Also, include the username you wish to have.
May 25, 201313 yr I think we're just going to do like Microsoft... drop support for it... Probably a good idea, otherwise someone will whine if you don't make it Win 95 compatible. Dan George (woodhick)Check out Greenbrier Aero Club, the VA for and about the GA pilot.

May 25, 201313 yr I'm still using Windows XP, but I know the handwriting is on the wall. XP will ultimately go the way of Windows 98SE. I think Windows 7 is a worthy successor to Windows XP. I have Vista on my laptop and it just seems to be so slow, but 7 has a solid reputation.

May 25, 201313 yr I'm still on Xp64. No reason to change right now, if it ain't broke don't fix it, lol. Having said that, I'm ready to switch to W7 at any time, I just need a reason, any reason will do.

May 25, 201313 yr Those still on the most common 32-bit XP are mostly likely already in some difficulties these days due to memory and video card issues. And Jay, I'm sure you'd agree that XP64 was always a pretty rare bird. If the choice is between supporting an old platform (that's no longer supported by MS itself) and being able to add significant new features - seems an easy choice. Scott
May 25, 201313 yr Well if XP is restricting addition of new features or better implementation - then there is so argument. I think the majority of simmers (speculating) are already on Win7.
May 26, 201313 yr And Jay, I'm sure you'd agree that XP64 was always a pretty rare bird. If the choice is between supporting an old platform (that's no longer supported by MS itself) and being able to add significant new features - seems an easy choice. I agree XP64 was never a mainstream OS. It works for me, and is fully supported by MS, at least for the time being. Well if XP is restricting addition of new features or better implementation - then there is so argument. I think the majority of simmers (speculating) are already on Win7. True, if there was any restriction, or any improvements forthcoming, I'm going with the flow. Yes, I also agree that the majority are already on W7 or W8.

May 26, 201313 yr I've told my team to drop XP support after the 737 and the Bell 407. Ok, now you got me. What's AFTER the 737 and Bell 407??? Haha, I understand if your answer is "no comment".

May 26, 201313 yr I am just getting back into MSFS. I use XP, but that was because my other choice was Vista and FSX was more stable on XP. I will probably migrate to a new machine and Windows 7.
