FSX as 64 bit?

<< < (2/4) > >>

JSilva:
One question that bugs me, how many people did in fact actually buy the converter?

streichholz:
I hear the first time about it. My fear is a destroyed FSX after installation of this tool :).

virtuali:
I don't think such thing can technically exists.

Just keep in mind it took *years* for Adobe to port Photoshop to 64 bit, and that's a program that generates way more revenues than FSX ever did, so they had most of their resources on it. FSX is task comparable in complexity, in fact it also has started an industry in add-ons, just like Photoshop, that will all need to be ported to 64 bit too, just like Photoshop.

I think that if I made a program that would tweak the frame rate *counter* to show higher numbers, many people will be convinced their sim IS running more smoothly. But I would never think about selling it...

Bruce Hamilton:
Tom Allensworth of AVSIM is reporting this as a scam, he says there is no such thing as a 32 to 64 bit converter.

ESzczesniak:
Based on the AVSIM forums, it seems all this does is change your FSX.cfg to a very performance friendly group of settings (512 textures, LOD 2.5, etc).  I was sure this was fake in the sense that converting FSX to a true 64 bit program without source code seems likely impossible.  However, I did remain slightly hopeful that someone figured out a way to "hack" some extra VAS.  Alas, it is effectively a scam, doing nothing more than FSX.cfg tweaks that any adept FSX user can do on their own.
