Windows vista simulator
I then burned a cd of the Reflex, (c:\program files\reflex) directory and copied it into the appropriate directory, (c:\program files\) on the Vista machine.
I loaded Reflex onto an XP machine that my children use along with all the updates and patches. I also determined that Reflex does not utilize the system registry so it can essentially be "copied" from one machine to the other, it relying upon the USB key for authentication. I found that it's the installer that will need to be rewritten to address installation issues in Windows Vista. I've been watching this issue and did not own a copy of Reflex XTR and was curious so I purchased one and I have a Windows Vista machine that meets/surpasses the hardware requirements listed for Reflex XTR.
#Windows vista simulator install#
They specifically state that they do not support 3 of the operating systems you listed, (I still don't get the MS-DOS 3.1 Reference, why try? Also, why try to install on OS's that are specifically not supported?)
#Windows vista simulator driver#
GeForce FX5900 Ultra 128MB, Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB or a later model, 8.1 or later version driver required Reflex XTR supports the following radios with new ones to be added on a regular basis: Futaba (square connector) Futaba (round connector) Fubata (Hitec connector) JR It will not work with Windows 95, NT, Linux, Unix, Mac and game consoles. This simulator is suitable for Windows 98, SE, ME, 2000 and XP. Pentium 4 1200MHz or similar AMD with 256 MB RAMĪGP 2X hardware accelerated video card with at least 32 MB of video RAM maybe the Slimstick USB interface and the iVOL will come with Vista drivers?)įirst of all, the system requirements for Reflex XTR are: (Maybe Reflex "Step 3" will be the Vista upgrade since it appears any of us using "Reflex Classic" are getting screwed by the new upgrade path. In the meantime, we've all got a fully workable setup anyway. The way MS is shoving Vista down all of our throats, however, they'll certainly keep a good portion of their market share, so I imagine all of the sim makers will want to port their software as soon as they can. The effort to "port" Reflex (or any sim) to an entirely different OS is a major effort.
This is a totally new operating system, with a significant number of differences from other OSes (including XP). When I installed Vista on my computer, Reflex wouldn't run. When I installed MS-DOS 3.1 on my computer, Reflex wouldn't run. When I installed Red Hat Linux on my computer, Reflex wouldn't run. When I installed MacOS X on my computer, Reflex wouldn't run. Stick with XP until they port the sim to the new OS.
