Tank Sims and Win 7 64-bit?
 
Hey Guys,
I'm upgrading my Falcon-NW PC and I'm contemplating going from Vista 32-bit to Win 7 64-bit. Have any of you installed and successfully run the following games with Win 7 64-bit? Were there any problems in doing so, and installing mods, etc.?

T34vsTiger
Steel Fury
T-72 Iron Warriors (AKA T-72 Balkans on Fire)
Steelbeasts ProPe (I currently own V2.552)

Running SBP myself, can confirm that 2.552 and 2.640 run reliably under Win7 x64 Pro.

x64 also is no issue in their support forum, there were occasional questions, but afaik nothing serious that remained unsolved.

To be sure, run it as administrator.

Upgarding from Vista to W7 and X32 to X64 is highly recommended. Vista was bad, W7 is nice.

Win7
 
I concur with Skybird! Vista was always problematic.Windows 7 is a bit like XP but not as easy to use.I run many sims/rts(SB, Steel Fury, Panzer Elite, Il2, Battlefield 2, Codename Panzers, Blitzkrieg, SHWWII,TvsT) on a desktop and a laptop both with Win7 64 and everything runs very smoothly.For some sims(PE and TvsT) you may have to re-install DirectX9 c as some dll files seem to be missing from DirectX10 or 11 but it's really very simple.

Skybird and Frinik,
Thanks for the info guys. I'm such a tread-head that I had to know that my favorite games will continue to run on a new OS. Happy Hunting!
