I don't use FSDT stuff. This is just looking for trouble. I did use the 737ngx without any trouble.

i use the pmdg 777, orbx,rex,fsdreamteam,flightbeam,aerosoft airports and planes, all with no problems, the same thing that works in windows 7 will work in windows 10, no disconnects from usb devices.right now windows 10 is bloatware free and very stable.

yeap i can confirm that works perfect....just installed FSdreams Pmdg 777 everything max and have no issues at all..hopefully windows 10 can improve performance...but looks very good so far.....

Hi 

Just installed P3D 2.5 on windows 10 build 10074, i am really pleased with the speed. I cannot wait for the final release so i can do a full upgrade. :-)

I heard that Microsoft added more Aero like features to Windows 10 (the blur effect on the start menu). How is that looking.

The whole UI is looking alot better , still a few bugs to get sorted but nothing really bad. The improvement i am getting on p3d is just awesome.

Well, I had to put my enthusiastic action on hold due to few problems with my machine. Tomorrow gonna try again, hopefully successful. For those still on earlier builds than 10074, the latest NVidia 352.63 driver can be downloaded as standalone from Guru3d.com. How compatible it is with earlier builds I cannot say, though I am running it successfully on my other machine with build 10061.


Forgot to add, 352.63 is the latest NVidia Windows 10 beta driver.

After installing the upgrade to Windows 10 will we have to delete and then re-install Prepar3d v. 2.5 and all other software or does an OS upgrade mean that we don't have to re-install everything?  

Just a Heads up Friend of mine tried Win 10 with P3D all went well but went back to win 7 because his PFC flight yoke (USB) kept disconnecting , Couldn't find a driver for the yoke i think, But apart from that He said it was working well with P3D

  Cheers

Remember Windows 10 is still beta. With build 10122, I was finally able to update windows without a full wipe. Versions prior required a full ISO reinstall. I had to reinstall all applications including P3D and add-ons. I'm anxiously awaiting the next build on the fast ring, but we're going to have to wait for E3 to be done before we see that. 

 

With 10130, I've noticed an subtle increased frame-rate with a very alpha Win 10 AMD driver (15.200.1023.5) When the RTM is released, I will wipe the computer and reinstall all applications and P3D again.

Well, I had hell of a ride with my PC, had to eventually build new one.

 

Anyway, I did virgin install of Windows 10 build 10130, set up P3DV2.5, and I am more than satisfied. Haven't had a single crash or any problem past two weeks, except with Opus FSI, which may in some way not be fully compatible.

 

This build comes with the latest NVidia 352.84 driver preloaded.

 

All my Saitek controllers (Yoke, Pedals, 3 x Panels and 4 x Quadrants) simply work, I did not need to install any drivers (Windows picked them up immediately).

 

Very satisfied.


SFreeby, on my other PC I upgraded from Win 8.1 to 10. All my games and other additional software were kept intact, to the extend that I could simply carry on with life as usual.

 

Based on this experience, my DEDUCTION would be that P3D would be kept intact after the upgrade.
