Certainly I, before I was a mod, never had any issues with FSP and I read the forums from cover to cover before I downloaded the demo. After a couple
of days with the demo I was convinced that FSPX was a great program and so I purchased it, but of course that was just as Vista was making its sordid
move onto the shelves, and long before Win7. I to this day still run a machine with XP on it for FSX and FSP with my other add-ons including Lvl-D
767, tonnes of freeware scenery for the SFO bay area and Heathrow 2000, most of POSKY's 777 paints and models, and their 757 and 767 models and paints
for UAL and Continental. I've even had to re-format my harddrive in the time I've owned FSPX and not had any issues with it once the drive had been
reformatted and the program installed.
However, from experience with other software from large developers I do understand how frustrating it is to be left in the dark when there is a
problem, but nine times out of ten those other programs haven't had hundred of other potential programs that could cause an incompatability issue.
With flight simulator because there are so many extra add-ons developed by external publishers, there will always be clahses in the programming - I
believe that I read on the Lvl-D website that FSP may not work correctly if installed on computers running the LVl-D software. When it comes down to
it, we are all responsible, as customers that a) the product will work on our computer with the specs we have; b) it is the appropriate version of the
software to be used and c) we take the time to sit down and read through the read-me files and become aware of any potential issues that may arise
when using the product.
