X-Plane 11 is 64-bit FSX is totally compatible P3Dv4 64-bit is suitable providing your son meets the EULA Aerofly FS2 is also a choice Digital Combat Simulator is about to release its 2.5.0. update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mallcott Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 so just to be clear FSX IS comparable? thanks again If by comparable you mean `compatible`, yes. If however, you do mean `comparable` then no, there has been little development on the core some itself for nearly a decade so it lags considerably in development terms, although not by as much as you might think... Flight Sim World (FSW) has taken on the mantle of the development of the FSX for the simmer platform and moved to 64-bit. P3D is a non-gamer platform that also has developed the files and structure from what was originally a common core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 32 bits programs (like fsx is) run fine on a 64bit system. It is a good idea to create a folder on C:\ or D:\ (for example C:\FSX ) then when installing, select 'custom install' and install fsx in there. Otherwise the files in into the c:\program files (x86) folder. In that folder manually editing a file is very difficult. For good reason, Windows keeps files in that folder protected from changes. (to prevent viruses infecting programs for one.)(c:\windows Is protected from changes as well.) -- tell us the hardware specification of the computer. That will help select the options. Some of there games need serious hardware to run. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
