Problems with 64bit

[i<3xplane10]

Hello all! Recently I have been having problems with X-plane 10.20b10 64bit, I can't seem to get it to run 64bit. The only selections in the screen resolution box are 32bit, yet I am running the 64bit version of X-plane 10. Any ideas?

 

I'm using and iMac with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core I5 and an ATI Radeon HD 4850 512mb

Menu - Go to "X-Plane -> About X-plane"

 

Should say:

 

X-Plane 10.20b10 (64-bit)

www.X-Plane.com

 

If thats what it says, you're running 64 bit x-plane.

Forgive my obvious stupidity.

I wouldnt say it was stupidity.....I had a friend who had finished a 9 month computer tech course. He built a computer a month or so later for a client and couldnt work out why the speakers werent working, a quick phone call later to tech support he was asked if he had plugged said speakers in.........you can guess what happened next

 

It happens to all of us, so roll with it and have a laugh

Ahhh, tech support stories...I know a few

I know about computers so 64-bit means the the program goes faster and some old programs can't handle the main system running faster.

 

SOME old programs can run in 64-bit but some can't, if it works then your in luck.

For now stick to 32-bit or no bit, and remember this is a beta which means that some X-Plane files might be incomplete or might not look right.

 

 

Ian,
