Mowgli22 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Hi, I'm finally moving to Win 10. I intend to follow the instructions by Robin for re-installing FS9. I also intend to run FSX-SE, i have many payware sceneries that are compatible with both sims. I want to ask my fellow simmers about any issues that you may have had installing programs such as REX FS2004 and Overdrive, GE Pro, Ultimate Terrain, etc Into FS9 of course.. If you have done the switch i would like to hear of any issues you might have encountered.

Skywatcher12 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I installed REX and bunch of other add-ons, scenery and texture add-ons without issues. The biggest problem with Win 10 is complex aircraft. There are quite a few known not to work in Win 10. Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywatcher12 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Any you can name I have Qualitywings 757 and Bae, old PMDG 737, Capt.Sim, etc.. Qualitywings 757 is fine. Digital Aviation Fokker doesn't work, some Captain Sim I think have issues although I haven't tried them myself. Best bet is to try what you have and see for yourself. Level-D 767 is another and likely some Wilco's. There certainly are more and some issues may be hardware or software dependent so some aircraft may work for others but not for you. That's how it is with Win 10. I know I found enough problems to go back to running FS9 on Win 7 permanently. Didn't use Win 10 long enough to find all the things that don't work with it as it was clear very quickly Win 10 would be more trouble than it's worth. MSFS is a flop imo and I think people will find they will focus on the Xbox version so I see myself sticking with FS9 forever. MSFS and Win 10 for my best interests I had to make go POOF! Gone! lol Edited October 18, 2020 by Skywatcher12 Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli22 Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Thanks Mark, FS9 will always be my favorite. I just have to give fsx-se a try and see how it goes. Just hope that following Robins advice i can get FS9 running smoooth.

If you have issues then use them but I'm quite certain why Robin himself needs to run those settings but they are a really bad idea for your system imo. 1. Install FS9 2. Install 9.1 patch 3. Install NOCD All you should need. Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zswobbie1 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Not going to argue, Mark. It works for me. Robin Cape Town, South Africa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornetAircraft Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 there is a 4gb patch that allows FS9 to use 4gb of ram rather than 2. it's made a good difference for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
