WIN 11 and FS 2004 (FS9) first experiences

[walterleo]

Hi friends:

After coming to terms with WIN 10 and its nicks with FS 9 I decided to accept the offer to upgrade to WIN 11 after reading some comments that FS 9 works fine under WIN 11.

I can tell: Everything which worked under WIN 10 works well and faster with WIN 11, which did not work in WIN 10 does not work under WIN 11 in my case the PT Tu-154 M.

Have the impression that the graphics are a little better now.



Kind regards

Walter

P.S.: To be correct the gauges of the PT Tu-154M panel provoke a CDT in WIN 11, the PT Tu-154B2 works well, the M model also works with the B2 panel.

I think I will stay where I am with W10.

Will have to buy a new motherboard to use Win11

Many thanks to Microsoft!

will stick with 10 for the moment though

As the last update of WIN 10 is nearly a WIN 11 without the systems restrictions it's a viable decision also.

Kind regards

Just an FYI - I plumped for W11 early December. It seemed OK at first but gradually I began to experience anomalies with various other programs. Then one day FSXSE had a licensing issue which caused the sim to crash after about 1 - 2 minutes and could not be fixed by a reinstall. SO I went back to W10 on 3 January. I went with the well known method of using a USB stick but I foolishly did not unhook my Western Digital MYDrives ( I have 4 ) the result being that the install of W10 used one of those drives as a cache ( for want of a better word ). Which included a Format and wiping out of a bunch of files. Fortunately I had them all backed up elsewhere.
So as I said at the start, just an FYI.
1) Unhook everything
2) Don't set things in motion and leave the room.
So the upshot, 3 weeks later all is back up and running nicely. One day W11 possibly, but not quite yet.
Oh and FSX still gets the licence issue (it seems Steam has to update it) but the sim runs fine.

Hi friends:

After some time, I came back to my older computer still running under WIN 7 AND: All my beloved "Thuskas" PT Tu-154B2 and Tu-154M (even in their latest versions) work flawless even the RSBN navigation systems with my addon stations work. So, all friends who like the Soviet airliners are better off not to change to WIN 10 or 11.

Kind regards
