Just curious to see if anyone has sucessfully managed to get it to fully function. The C/S website says NO compatibility with Vista, but a fellow simmer told me otherwise, although he was unable to tell me how. Anyone with experience would be appreciated. i ask because I saw it at the FS pilot shop for $13 and that seems like a really good deal. Thanks in advance!
 
Hmmmm.... never had a problem, and never had to work to force it to, either... it JUST DID!
If I did do anything, which I doubt I did, it was limited to setting to ACE to run in compatibility mode for XP SP2.
Mainly, I think the whole deal with the NO VISTA COMPATIBILITY thing is just so that CS can do as little customer service as possible. Which customer service has never given me a problem anyway, so...
 
I have the FSX version on CD. I installed it in FSX, with Acceleration on a 32 Vista bit system. It installed OK and I had a few short flights with it. No problems. Then, I had a really good Christmas Eve flight going with the plan for a Midnight landing. The idea as a Santa Clause run. I landed about five minutes early then had an out of memory error during the roll out. I haven't flown it since but I do have a newer graphics card that may make a difference.

Thanks for the replies; I just surfed a bit through their forums and it seems as though many people have it working, There seems to be a number of things that cause issues. Maybe for thirteen bucks I will give it a try...
 
Ok....purchased, installed, and it runs great and flies very well!! It is MUCH more sophisticated of a sim aircraft than I realized. When they say 'every switch' they mean it! And my performance with trackIR in the VC isn't too bad, either. The only problem I have encountered is that the bulk of the free liveries seem to be linked to Avsim's library...and we all know that story. So I will wait until the library is back up and do some searching...thanks for the feedback, guys!
