Nick Cooper Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Hello, FSX and Orbx products work as well with Windows 10 as with Windows 7. You can install all your products to FSX using whichever medium they are in. The best order would be global products first, regional products next and then the airports.

NoLonger Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Imho Windows 10 is the best Windows version ever. (I know not everyone will agree with this. ) If you are going to start all over W10 is a better choice than W7 because W7 won't be supported for too long (well, January 2010 but still...). W10 will be updated and supported for years to come and performance is absolutely great. And if you really miss the looks of W7: there are several free 'shells' that will make W10 look like W7 in no time. I myself don't use those programs: I rather get used to the new interface, but well, it's nice to have options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taph Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Welcome back, windows 10 has given me no problems since I upgraded from 7, biggest problem was a lack of drivers for an old printer. good luck with the reinstalls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disadvantage of Windows may be that you ALWAYS have the latest version... The thing is that at least with the regular Home version updates are forced so there is no way to turn updates off. Now some people don't like this at all but I haven't had any problems with it at all and I've been using W10 (and various flightsims) since day 1. Okay, sometimes the timing of an update is not totally convenient but it never gave me any real problems. User control setting: do you perhaps mean UAC...? I always turn that off as first. But it's not mandatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taph Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 You will be pleasantly surprised ftx central 3 will monitor your Orbx programs and will alert you to download latest versions, to install it you will need an account at ORBX direct.we are still waiting for a cross grade program for Austrailia if you did not do that at the FSS store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No crashes here (though I am using P3D and Aerofly FS 2) and installing is just as easy, no difference there at all. Installing W10 is even easier because of all the available and included drivers. My joystick and pedals are recognized immediately with correct name and all, something that didn't happen in de past. No need to install seperate drivers at all.
