GIANTS Software - Forum

Hi all,

Long time Mac user currently running FS15 under Steam (which combination seriously limits my ability to edit maps, altho it can be done to a limited extent). Plans are simple -- run FS15/17 under Windows, edit maps with the Giants editor and, possibly, use something like Blender (if unable to source a Mac OS native equivalent).

Graphics (GraphicConverter 9), sound (Audacity), and xml text editing (TextWrangler) are accounted for on the Mac OS side. Am doing lots of texture fixes, stereo to mono conversions (and audio cleanup), as well as xml editing and bugfixes, in an effort to to increase frame rates, reduce mod conflicts, crashes, etc...; have learned a lot, but it's time to use the editor if I care to progress.

Am upgrading a Mac Pro for this purpose (6 core Intel Xeon processor @ 3.33Ghz, 16Gb ram @ 1.333Mhz DDR3, GTX 780, SSD drives...) and will be running Windows using BootCamp (native to the Intel processors in the Mac).

Considering the intended usage and system specs, which version of Windows do ya'll recommend? Any other advice?

Windows 10 is what I highly recommend. Home or Pro, you can decide that. Home is for normal users and it costs $119.99. Pro is for more business and what most gamers and I recommend and it costs $199.99. It also have DX12, which is supposed to be better for gaming. :smiley new:

Here is pretty good breakdown of the editions of Windows 10: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperi ... -editions/

I also recommend Windows 10. I've been running my gaming machine on Win 10 for some time and all the titles I play perform well. If you can't swing Win 10, Win 7 should also do everything you need it to do. I'd suggest avoiding everything in the middle.

Yeah I agree, Windows 8 was a joke, Windows 8.1 wasn't bad, but it was still not good as Windows 10 or 7 by a long shot.
