Hi EveryoneJust started to read the comments on the upcoming FSX program.I see Windows Vista and DVD mentioned.Not being very puter literate, is windows vista a program we will pay for or be able to download from a site.Also if the program comes in a DVD format, will there be a problem installing this new FSX on a machine which is 2 yrs old Pent. 4 3.0.Tks for any feetback.Kenny G.

Windows Vista is the next generation of operating system. As with all operating systems, you will have to purchase it and hold a vaild licence. It is due out before the end of this year.With regards to the DVD and computer question, no hard and fast facts on the required hardware have been released as yet. I am sure in time more and more information will be released on this subject by MS.Rgdshttp://www.avsim.com/pages/0100/avsim_sig.jpg

These facts we do know: You won't need Windows Vista to run FSX. It will run just fine on WinXP.Rhett

Tks. for the replyTake Care:)Kenny G.

Kenny - Many machines in the last couple of years have DVD-compatible drives. If you can watch a DVD movie on your computer it's OK for loading the FSX discs. And, as said, you won't need Vista - nice to have but it's not a requirement.Doug
