I am sure that there is not one but does anybody know if Ivan made a 64 bit version of MDLC 190?:bump:
 
Yeah, this is where the upgrading gets complicated for the gamers....

As "tweaking" gamers still using many legacy tools introduced in the early parts of this decade for improving our sims and games, we have to be flexible in our OS upgrades. We can ill afford to just go whole-hog and dump everything into newer OS's and expect it all to work as always. This is where the merits of building a dual-boot or even triple-boot OS structure comes into play for maintaining the usefulness of our older tools like Mdlc and others.

We have to plan wisely in our upgrading. If we elect a new 64-bit system upgrade for improved gaming and GC performance, we'd better keep a 32-bit system either on another drive, another partition or another computer altogether for crunching design or tweak work with legacy programs. Its the only way to be sure that the workshop remains productive....
 
I agree Bearcat. Just thought you might want to know that CFS2 works very well in 64bit. As you said, I have another system networked that is 32bit.
 
Yeah i've known about CFS2's 64-bit compatibility since XP was first released as both an x86 and x64 platform, but its the third party tools that don't always keep up.
 
Another option for keeping an older system like XP for legacy programs:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD-V#AMD_virtualization_.28AMD-V.29

This excerpt from the Win7 playbook is a nice summary of how virtualization can be used in lieu of dual-booting:

"It allows multiple Windows environments, including Windows XP Mode, to run on the same machine, requiring the use of Intel VT-x or AMD-V. Windows XP Mode runs Windows XP in a virtual machine and redirects displayed applications running in Windows XP to the Windows 7 desktop."
 
The last time Ivan was on the forum (FS2004) he was showing some screen shots of some conversions/reverse engineering projects that he was working on for personal use. At that time he said that he was working on an updated MDLC that would convert FSX models to FS2004, FS2002 and CFS2. Haven't seen him on the forum since......he's got a yungun to keep him busy.
