WWGangster Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I've been reading the review of FSX over at SimHQ and the 5th installment shows screenie comparisons for FS9..........10 is just incredible........of course its gonna take a high end machine, but damn, check out the screenshots......especiall the ones in the Boeing jets toward the end...the instrument lighting is phenominal.......http://www.simhq.com/_air7/air_263a.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWSensei Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Picked it up yesterday. Got it installed and got most of my panels working with it. Need to tweak it a bit more for my liking but I ran out of steam before fiddling with it any more. Next weekend I'll have more time with it.

WWSandMan Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Sort of amazing that MS hasn't optimized FS-X for multi-core machines though.I had to bite the bullet and stop by Best Buy to get a NIC card (more on that later... ). While there, I browsed through the software section to see if they had FS-X in stock. They had ONE left, a $70 tin with 2 DVDs. I'll pass for now, especially since those quad-core tests on SimHQ are showing me just how ancient my system really is. /applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=%7BSMILIES_PATH%7D/icon_rolleyes.gif&key=1e8c06ab12fb541f5359109fc2a9aa78454b8063e7aa8862e992af3163d7b4b4"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWSensei Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Yeah, you're paying $20 for the tin. I bought the plastic model for $49 and it had the same two DVDs. Game is huge. While it's relatively easy to jump in and fly I'm taking my time to configure all my controls. The GoFlight modules I have work natively with FSX so it's taking awhile to map things. Trying to make it match IL2 as much as possible so my brain doesn't have to jump through hoops when I switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
