And thus it begins...Farewell FS9.

FS9 and FSX coexist without an issue. With modern hardware, the only reason left for FS9 is the PMDG/LevelD addon or some favorite something that has not been setup for FSX. That's it. With even moderated sliders, FSX is still visually superior to FS9 out-the-window. If that is a simmer's primary interest, there's just no reason to keep FS9 onboard. (I think Emma's Field (X) would be a big FSX +, hint hint.)

YesFS9 and FSX can exist (and coexist) on Vista 32 and Vista 64 without an issue.

But now that I've got FSX running again, it's all FSX for GA flights across the western USA because of that visually superior by a mile factor! :-hah L.Adamson

Boaz:Note that you cannot install Vista 64 on top of Vista 32, so a clean install of FS9 may be necessary after you make the transition to the new OS.However, I had FS9 installed on my RAID array which is not on the same drives as the OS and I used Vista Transfer tool to back up my existing documents. When I installed the new OS I restored my transfer files, used Flight1 FS9 directory repair tool and I only had to enter the registration for FSUIPC and Activecamera...all my addons still worked I did not have to reinstall them or reregister them.FS9 works just fine under Vista 64 along with all other addons, no change.
