ilikepie Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Are there any Helios beta testers out there using Vista (32) ? i have read that it has diminished functionality and all development test rigs are 7/64. I'm waiting for it to be released but would like to know if an O/S upgrade is needed to get the best out of the software. Any feed back is helpful. Action After Contemplation
Vullcan Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 to be honest I would upgrade anyway if you are serious about this sim, as it performs better too!
CAT_101st Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 If your not running a 64 bit OS you are only hurting your self. todays game and soft wair are being desined to run on 64bit systems and be compatable with 32 bit. With that in mind, what do you think you shuld do.

WarriorX Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Having suffered through the experience that was Vista, I can say with total conviction that moving to Windows 7 64 bit, was a great move. If you can afford it, do it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "Is that you John Wayne?.......Is this me?"

Feed Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 FYI, I'm running 32-bit XP Pro - no problems with Helios (that I've encoutered). Still, I'll likely be upgrading soon, as well!
