I'm not sure if this is specifically OS related, but sadly there are too many variables with such a complex install. What I said about it before still holds true for me - a crash every 15-20 hours of play at most, which is more than acceptable for longer flights.

One thing I noticed caused CTDs is when I tried forcing AA/AF settings via the video card options. I accidentally left these on for a bit after playing another game, and had two crashes in a row after about 1hr in flight each. Once I took the settings back to "determined by application", everything went back to smooth and normal.

But again, there are too many variables, both in the system and in your likely FS install... Is there any way you could narrow down possible causes here?
