FSX i'm getting rid of this thing
Well I finally got it and it is going. Admittedly I only have a P4 2.8 with 1 meg of ram and a Nvidia gforce 4600 ti with 128meg so I didn't expect too much but it does take up 15 gigs on my hard drive and to get anywhere near 20fps everything muct be turned down to nothing. With FS9 I get great performance with everything turned up to max not to mention that all of my add-on scenery is there as well and I don't even know if that Would work with FSX. I really don't know if there is ANY hardware out there now that will run this sim. If there is please advise. With all of the new CPU and GFX confusion right now I have been hesitant to upgrade. Should I just uninstallFSX for now or leave it on the hard drive? Thanks |

FSX i'm getting rid of this thing
I find FSX to be the best release yet. I have flown FS since version 1 back
in 1982. Yes there is hardware that will run it quite well. My system is as follows: P4 3.6 1066FSB 4GB DDR Dual Channel RAM 533mHz nVidia 7950GTX 1GB Video Card 2-250GB 10000RPM Raptor HDDs Get yourself a 512MB video card and you have plenty of horsepower to run FSX quite nicely.

There are thousands of video games that provide "missions." Virtually none, except MSFS, provide any semblance of flight simulation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_(computer_game) http://www.frugalsworld.com/modules/...eid=200&page=0 http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sim/falco...ml?sid=2558705 ----- - gpsman |
