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.......

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">

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.

I started out at 7.5FPS /applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=%7BSMILIES_PATH%7D/icon_e_sad.gif&key=38741f9e3530d7cdc640e0699ad44e6069f4d0e7d8af9de1ac5a402558336cb2"> But after all these and a few of mine I now get 25+FPS and the game is flyable in MP and SP modes.
Now keep in mind this is my system stats....
AMD 4000
2 Gig PC3200 Ram
XFX Nvidia 7800 GT
27" LCD at 1280x720 WS

I will get some screens and post them here for you to see if interested..?
