Hi All,

Considering going over to the dark-side - Vista mainly so I can throw a decent amount of memory at FSX.

Will FSX work okay and what about addons ?  Is it a case of some will - some won't ?

Thnx.

Addons will work fine. Mind you the autoinstallers for some will NOT work. Just make sure to run FSX as admin even if you are the admin Wink

Vista 64 works fine for me, and I've had no problem with installers as yet.

I turned off UAC altogether (Administrator Control)
I turned off Aero
I turned off Defender

I turned off indexing as I use Acronis for imaging.

As my computer is a home machine, is not networked and I am not into porn of any sort - even the hard-core stuff like derivatives - I don't need a password.

NOD 32 is my shield and defence!

And when running FSX I stop a number of services such as Nero and printer services, updaters and the like.  They all come back on re-start. Some use Alacrity as a service stopper, but I wasn't happy with the experience so I do it myself.  However, one of these days I will learn how to create a profile, but that's a long way off with my skills.
