Choose one of the FS.. and comment please.. WHY???~!!!!! WHY@!!!!??

My choice has to be FS2004. Why? Because my PC can't run FSX properly so I never bothered buying it. I also own FS98, FS2000 and FS2002 (none installed) and I even have them older than that so FS2004 is the best of what I have at the moment.

Everybody knows that FS2004 is the best.  :)

Actually FSX is better than FS9. Problem is that most of us can't use it to it's fullest potential because of our computers. Wait for another two years and than come back on your statement.

As much "the cross" might be better than FS9, whatever its betterments are, they are WAY too pricey in terms of CPU power, memory request and videocard imperative, and too little to justify the request of that much power.

FS2004 is for the moment, and until FS11 will come supposedly, the only sim of the FS kind that is worth the time spent to install and use.

Forget "the cross". There are a lot more crosses we have to lug around without having to shoulder this one too (and I'm not even going to express my opinion about that other "cross" that is sVista... my God in Heaven... who hasn't tried it cannot understand. ).

FSX and FS 2004 on my Hard Drive:

If I have to wind my overall FSX settings down to match my overall FS 2004 settings, the scenery below me is utterly, totally, bleak in the extreme... ...!

...and don't even mention frame-rates, and the dreaded judder (whilst banking over!)... ...!

FSX is for later.....

...very much later... ...!

Paul... 8-)...!

8-) Just recently removed Fs2002. Started I think, with FS4!
I have both FSX and FS9 on separate HD's, that seems to be part of the answere for better FPS set at unlimited?
Flying a trike for VFR, FSX is a real treat at fps of 7-22. Scenery detail is just great and is set to medium low. But as we all agree, you have to be wealthy to enjoy this version.
FS9 you can do real flying and there are some very good developers out there with an eye for detail in scenery. I am getting FPS of 22-77 set at unlimited. USB2 HD, external.
When first launched I disliked FS9 as being too jazzed up! But there you go, FS10 just another technical advance. :-/

cant wait !! cant wait!!! to get FS2004 tomorrow!!!! (sorry im bit behind)

In two years we will have FS11 and it will probably be better since microsoft will have to realize that not all people have high powered computers. Besides, FS11 will be better than both FSX and FS9.

even thou they realise not many ppl own a bery good spec, i think there's not much differ  if they come out with FS11. probably more detail textures or add some default planes probably A380 and B787.. neva know?? and the sys requirement for FS11 will be the same standard as FSX. i guarantee!! why? because they know not many ppl have good spec pc and ppl just upgrade their pc for fsx use.. that's why.  :D

To Murjax and Ashaman; waiting for FS11? You really think Microsoft will make a lesser product than FSX? Forget it. In two or three years time most PC's will be able to run FSX right out of the box. FS11 will require even more computing power. Don't forget that FS9 was a demanding simulator when it was released in 2003 (maybe a little less demanding than FSX but even so).

To FSFLYER2: Running FS2004 at unlimited framerates has no use. Set it to 24. It runs smoother that way. Anything higher than 24 FPS you can't see anyway.

At least FS11 WILL be worth the better hardware.

"The cross" simply isn't.

I put FS9 out of Fanboyism.

In reality though, A Combat Flight Sim such as LOMAC or Falcon 4.0: Allied Force would beat down FS9 with a barrage of Missiles and 20mm* cannon rounds  ;)


*Change out to 30mm if we're talking about the amazing GAU-8A Avenger Cannon & The A-10A Warthog

2004.  It's nice and runs on my computer, and with the hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars of addons I have it is much nicer than FSX is on my computer.

BTW, this is a VERY biased poll because you are asking in the FS2004 forum, so OF COURSE people are going to pick FS2004

that's right!  ;D by the way, there's must be someone out there betrayed us by choosing fsx haa?
