I was about to buy the FSX 757-200 on the Flight Sim Pilot shop, But I read that it won't work on Windows Vista, is it posible to get it to work on Vista???

Thanks,

Your smart you did your research before buying unlike me lol.
this is how it works
these do work on FS9 and FSX on vista only if your video card is running DX-9
These are not compatible with DX-10.
my problem is i refuse to go back to DX-9 and I run vista with DX-10 so when I try and play these aircraft the graphics dont even show up

Title: MS Vista/FS2004 and 757 F
Post by macejoj on Apr 9^th, 2008 at 5:21pm

I run FS2004 on Vista. I installed 757 Base pack without any problems. Now I unpgraded to 757 F.
There are big problems and I cannot operate normally (Autopilot does not work) and after end of flight the system collapse (probably tryining to save flight details somewhere where it is not possible).

Is there any possibility to run 757 captain Sim on FS9 on Vista ?
Please, help and advice

many thanks

regards
JM

Are you planning Vista support for the 757?

Hi, just question regarding your experience with Vistas and 757.
For me it works all the time but at the end of the flight (when I want to return to base screen of FS9) the program fails. I guess it tries to save some information somewhere and cannot find a folder or something. Any idea ?
many thanks
