General Question orbiter support windows 7 64-bit

can orbiter 2010 support windows 7 64-bit

 

[Turbo]

it works just fine, just with reduced framerates compared to XP. Something about vista / 7 not having good dx7 support

This: Orbiter on Vista and Win7 (actual data + from the horse's mouth)

I use it and its fine

It'll drop the display things back to Basic settings (ie, no aero) when you run it and the framerate will drop compared with what you'd get on XP, but it will run fine. I think that you'll get annoying white flashes on the screen with it too, but this is a known issue and I think there is a fix for it - search the forum (or some nice orbiteer will probably chip in with a solution)

I run it on both Win7 Pro and Home Premium 64-bit, varying hardware configurations, with no issues. Framerates are good (60-100+ FPS at least).

**EDIT** I also recommend using [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3891"]VistaBoost[/ame] - disables font smoothing while Orbiter is running, which can improve framerate. Re-enables font smoothing when Orbiter launchpad is closed (most of the time )

For the white flashes, go to the video tab and tick "disable hardware pageflip"
