I'm checking back in on this forum after a long hiatus. I'm also in the tedious process of rebuilding my Flight Sim (from the ground up with a new platform) after a 3-year long layoff (in other words, I haven't actually touched a sim in 3 years). I am aware that XP is obsolete, but all my FS9 and FSX sim stuff ran seemlessly on that platform! In addition, in recent times, I've been hearing about compatibility complaints from current simmers regarding issues with the newer platforms. I am concerned about this as I try to resurrect my setup.

Now that XP is totally out of the picture, what platform do simmers regard as the ideal (or most problem free) for FS9/ X? In addition, I am totally prepared to work with FSX, and discontinue FS9 if there is no suitable platform for the latter.

Thanks for your kind assistance...

FSX and Windows 7 is the best option for you by a very long margin.
