Flight sim Windows 7

[koolpc]

My brother who is 75 has a basic Win 7 pc. Not connected to the internet. Runs really well.

He wants a flight sim. He has an old one on the pc vista compatible...lol.

He wants a decent one he can try. He has a nice USB joystick...

Any recommendations guys? He be so pleased if I can source a Win 7 compatible one. Fighting or sim be fine...ta

It should do, although you may as well get the deluxe version, it has more planes and its the same price now anyway.

Just to mention, FSX is a microsoft product, so I think it does require activation to play. MS had an 0800 phone number to do this offline, I've no idea if that still works.

Thank you. Just ordered that for him....

Does he have a decent GPU?

Not sure...it's an old PC. Runs well though....except I got to keep fixing issue at boot up where it says error in boot drive. I fix it, save and exit yet it still pops up when we turn on the pc...

I put a new battery on the mobi too as I thought that was the issue...

Now, he has to keep pressing F2 to load defaults and continue to Windows 7

Might be worth checking the health of that boot drive - I assume it's a SSD.

No, old HDD...

Would that cause the issues that keep coming up at boot on the bios screen?
