Are you referring to hardware ? Because, nothing prevents FSX to work just fine in Windows 10.

If you are referring to FSX-specific hardware, you should obviously blame their manufacturers, who live in the past and hasn't updated their drivers to support Windows 10.

If this is really the issue, because of them, you are forced to stay with a system that, starting next January, will become the PRIME target for hackers, because Microsoft will stop releasing even security updates. The same happened with Windows XP: as soon MS stopped to publish updates, all XP users were targeted by massive hacker attacks and, even if YOU think your system won't be affected, it might affect, for example, your favorite websites, which might be brought down by DDOS attacks using other unsecured system.

Basically, not updating after January would be irresponsible, just like not vaccinating your kids.

Of course it works. Nowhere we ever said GSX doesn't work. There's just ONE very minor issue, which is a crash while EXITING the sim, which I'm not even sure it happens under very conditions. The crash is totally harmless, since the sim has already closed but, because we don't have any means to debug it, and we don't even know if it CAN be solved, we decided to just stop supporting Windows 7.

Which again, is not news, since support stopped 4 years ago, and from January, even the extended life support will stop so, it's not as if we went crazy and decided to abandon an healthy OS with a long life ahead of it.

Good man,
Of course you are right with and in everything.
Only, with my 80 years and a very small pension, I do not have the money to buy a new PC and OS, and probably new software.
That's why I'll try to sell FSX and everything belonging to fsx, or at least throw it away.
But still I don`t give up...
Best regards
Wolfgang

Pauldh:
I have Windows 7. GSX and all the up grades plus their scenery works >PERFECT<

pete_auau:
runs  fine  in windows  7

wolfgang:
@ olseric, Pauldh, pete_auau,

Virtuali wants to tell us that Win 7 is shut down and we Win 7 enthusiasts are no longer protected, because immediately all the bad hackers will join us and make life difficult for us or whatever.
I let the matter approach and then I will see.
Best regards
Wolfgang
