I have several addon a/c, including the PMDG 737 series, 744, and the B1900's along with the Level-D, F1 ATR and Super80. The only addon package that doesn't work right are the Wilco CRJ's. They seem waaaaayyyyy underpowered. I could have tweaked the FDE's to add some juice to the engines, but that wouldn't be realistic so they are uninstalled for the time being. Everything else works just fine for me. (some required patching, others run as-is) You'd have to research each product's support forums before you commit to a purchase. I still fly FS9 and will continue to fly it for the foreseeable future.

I run the level-d 767 on a 64 bit Win7 system. I wonder if they mean it just runs in 32-bit compatibility mode and doesn't take advantage of the 64 bit OS?
