Running Windows7 Ultimate x64.
All drivers and stuff loaded updated and the like.

Loaded FSX and Excelleration.  Flying fine.

Loaded FS Genesis.  Flying fine.

Loaded UTX Canada, UTX USA, GEX, Ultimate Traffic 2.  With restarts and such between loading them AND restarts after patching them.  No flying at all.  FSX stops loading.

For good measure did a re-load of FSX to make sure had good install that.

Installed FS Genesis terrain stuff.  Flying good.

Started loading the other add-ons one at a time.  No flying with any of them.  FSX fails to start with any of them loaded.  Are UTX Canada, UTX USA, GEX and Ultimate Traffic 2 not compatible with Windows7 Ultimate x64?

I have the same add-ons you do except i have TrafficX instead of UT2. Running Win7 Home Premium x64 with no problems.

Doesn't help you much, but shows they do all work together.

Other than the fact that I have MTX 5.3 Pro rather than UT2 I have all those addons and all work fine in Win7 Ult 64b since I installed them.

I have FSX installed on its own drive.  If you installed FSX to the default folder on C drive that maybe your problem.  Try uninstalling everything with reboots in between programs.  Install FSX to a new folder, not the default folder.  Something like C:FSX

Make sure that you have UAC completely off.  You can turn it back on if you want after you get everything installed, I just leave it off period!

FSX is installed on its own drive with all addons.

Im gonna try and install the addons one-at-a-time again tomorrow.  With restarts in between again.

Are there any patching issues or updating thingies I should know about?

Thankie...

I recently installed all of these products on Win 7 Ult as well.  I first installed UTX usa/can, and much to my dismay, the first time I tried to load FSX (before applyling any of the utx patches), it hung at 90% on the loading screen.  I uninstalled UTX USA, and promptly reinstalled it, and that time FSX started up just fine.  I have no explanation for that.

I then patched it up, and proceeded to install/patch all the other products without problem.  Each time I got a message "this product may not have installed correctly, or did it?" message, which was safe to ignore.  Everything is working fine now.

Sometimes these glitches just happen...
