"Just for people who are thinking about upgrading: . I did my first circuit at KSEA on Windows XP 64 professional OS last night with RFP and Active Sky. All systems appeared normal. Will keep people informed if any problems develop. Squawkbox said it could not find FS2k4 but when copied across from the other hard drive running Windows XP 32 bit it sems to be working properly. Hope to trial FSAcars tonight, but FSFlightkeeper is working fine as is FSBuild 2.2"

Do you use a yoke? I'm wondering if CH has drivers for the 64bit OS

Squawkbox is sending information normally, as yet there have been no controllers on line where I am flying to confirm that side of things. Some would argue that it makes no changes to frame rates but I certainly seem to be getting improved frame rates, possibly due to a new OS install and possibnly due to the number of different programs I have running that the 64 bit is handling better"

You're talking about the beta version of 64 right? Or did I miss the release? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]
