I too have X-Plane (v9). And I have only installed it on my XP machines. Although I have installed other games on my Windows 7/8 machines. Nor have I seen any speed improvement over XP. At best, they run about the same. At worst, some won't run at all under Windows 8 CP for example. In a week or two, I'll find out how Windows 8 works with them. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Thunderbird v12.0.1 Centrino Core2 Duo T5600 1.83GHz - 4GB - Windows XP SP2 |

It's the same with the retail version.

John Doe typed on Sun, 11 Nov 2012 00:34:06 +0000 (UTC): It's the same with the retail version. And I'm beginning to wonder if this thing can read. I went over to the X-Plane website and looked over the system specs that one needs to run it. And it looks like I won't be able to take part in this little experiment. As my game machines are from 2007 and they just don't have enough power to pull it off. X-Plane v9 full install was 60GB. I hate to imagine how large v10 would be. So I am just going to take your word for it. But I guess it does make sense, since Windows 7/8 are far better at taking advantage of newer hardware while XP isn't. But then again, newer isn't always better in all cases. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - OE-QuoteFix v1.19.2 Centrino Core2 Duo T5600 1.83GHz - 4GB - Windows XP SP2 |
