April 29, 20179 yr If I remember correctly, Windows 7 was fine. Windows 8 was the problem one that no support was being provided for. You can certainly try it on 8 if you want, but you do so at your own risk. Captain Kevin Air Kevin 124 heavy, wind calm, runway 4 left, cleared for take-off. Live streams of my flights here.
April 29, 20179 yr Author Capt Kevin I have Windows 7, how correctly do U remember that Win 7 was fine? I have been waiting for V3 for a long time. Thanks for your time,
April 29, 20179 yr I found this: Also in the intro manual, which you won't have access to until you buy the plane, it does say Windows 8 and 8.1 aren't supported. The intro manual also mentions a file fix for those using Windows 7, so I presume Windows 7 is still being supported.

April 30, 20179 yr I run the B744 V3 on W7 64 bit. Didn't know there was ever an issue. Don't want Windows 10. Didn't have to configure or add any file either. - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired

Apparently the one that came with Windows 7 was buggy, so there was a link in the intro manual to download it. The intro manual didn't say it was required, but "highly recommended."

Oh maybe because it says "not require if using FSX:SE", which I am. So maybe it's FSX boxed and P3D thing? Makes mention if issues with repeated menu use on long flight. IDK. My routes are short, around 1 to 4 hours max. - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired

Yeah, I never updated that file, but that's probably because I'm using Windows 10 on this laptop, and it makes no mention of this being necessary for Windows 10.
