Well you good folks out there I have a problem with w7 and fsx.
I have been running fsx on xp pro 64 for about a couple of years and it has done well concidering with all of the add ons.
I like many decided to upgrade to the new and latest system w7, and I heard good results.
I went out and got the w7 64 ultimate, and loaded it with little effort, and then loaded fsx and loaded all of the latest sp1, sp2, and I loaded them in the correct way.
This graphics card does not meet minimum
requirements for shader support. This product requires a geForce3/Radeon8500
class or better graphics card. Flight Simulator will now exit."
Also with sp1 I was able to get into fsx and choose setting and adjust a few sections, I also was able to choose a default 172, my frame rate (57 fps) was never that high before with xp (32 fps) with all the fixings.
Then within a minute the sim would freeze and act sluggish and respond slowly and the counter is frozen at 52 fps.
I will have to exit or three fingers it and restart the computer.
I then would load sp2 and then restart the computer and then it gives me this ridiculous error
I have used cleaners to get old vid drivers out and the whole clean install process.
And for some reason I cannot get fsx to play on my system, I have tried every thing possible to get it to work.
My system = Intel e8500 dual core, 4 gigs ddr3, 280 HD, gtx.285 vid card.
I know this machine can handle fsx, I know of systems with the same chip and vid card with great success.
So I guess the question is fsx compatible to what I got , I do remember that when W7 was in its beta stage I tested fsx on w7 32 bit and it worked great, also tried it in the beta 64 bit and it worked but I did not have enough support drivers so I stayed with w732.
But for some reason I cannot get it to work right on a boxed version of w7 64.
Are there proper procedures that im missing?
I have reloaded and formatted my drive several times.
So I need some real technical assistance on what and why it won’t work.
Thanks………………………..Robert
