I had to purchase the FSX GOLD EDITION as I ran across a post that stated the Standard Edition was not compatible. But there are others here that claim that is not true. Other than that I run both FSX and FS9 on Windows 8 64 bit.
I will caution you though it is recommended that you do not install FSX in the default location with Windows 7 or Windows 8.
Once again you will find people here that claim there is no problem with installing FSX in the default location which may be true if you do not add any Third party programs to FSX. If you only have one hard drive then just make a folder anyplace except inside of the Programs file (86) folder.
The best place for FSX and FS9 is on a hard drive that does not have your operating system on it.
And like Fozzer stated it is not a good idea to post your email address on a public forum.
