I've tried FS One and AFPD on Windows 7 and have had good luck with both. On my laptop they both run without issue, however on my desktop I had to get a new graphics driver for AFPD to run. Haven't tried FS One on it yet.
Has anyone tried other sims on Windows 7? What was your experience?
I just built a new PC.
QUAD CORE Intel 2.83GHZ
1TB HD
8GB RAM
1GB Nvidea GeForce 9400GT Card
Running Win 7 64 bit RC
I figured Win 7 is going to be out in the Fall so I downloaded the RC and installed it. (cool O.S) been using it for 3 days now.
But I can not get FS One to run on it.
It took a few attempts to get it to install. It blue screened a couple times during install. but it installed ok eventually.
Got the USer Account control set to Minumum, which allowed me to install the 1.0.9 patch, then the heli patch, and then the 1.1 patch
but it will not run.
I get a Black box that flashes on my screen and then disappears. I ran the program a number of times while pressing print screen to see what was written in the box and i eventually got it
"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more information."
I assume this error is TACH-CON controller related. I know in Win XP it would terminate if the controller was not plugged in, but my controller is plugged in. SO I am wondering if maybe the controlller was detected wrong? or if i need to install the controller in a specific way? or maybe this error is not controller related at all.
any suggestions. I'd love to get FS one running on this box. and I kinda like Win 7 so far, so I don;t think I am going to downgrade it to XP.
If anyone has had a similar problem and solved it, please let me know. or if anyone has win 7 experience I'd love to hear from you.
thanks
