Is FSX Deluxe w/Accel compatible with Windows 7. I'm looking to get a Dell Studio XPS 7100 desktop

Yes it is. Get a 64-bit versionof Win7 if you can and read the forums concerning tips on
installing FSX in Win7. Pay particular attention to posts related to issues with UAC.

I recommend installing FSX in it's own directory and on a seperate drive if possible.
Use a short path name such as "D:FSX" and "D:FSX SDK" .

It works okay, but there are two issues:

Add-on scenery is somewhat tricky and hit-or-miss, but there's a work around...

frequent crash when using the in-game menue, but there is a fix for that.

Supposedly, that will fix the crash problem, but I've stiil had the crash occure after adding the "fix', but not as often.

So now I know it means User Account Control what does that mean????? There is only one cure or old age.
