FS2002-->FSX-->Fs2004

Postby Dopefish » Mon Jun 25, 2007 1:45 pm

Hey Everyone,

I own FS2002 and FSX atm. And since my computer is not the best in the world, not for gaming at least.
I would like to hear your opinion if i should buy FS9 Instead of?
I have a 2 year old Computer with 1 Gig Ram, 3 GhZ AMD Processor and a 256mb Graphicscard. Not the best.
Thanks - Mathias

Most definately!  It's about $20 USD these days and has better autogen scenery that fs2002.  And the weather is a really big improvement!  Volumetric clouds!  FSX requires a high performance PC, there's great add-ons for fs9 that'll keep you busy for a while.  Make sure to get the fs9 patch, especially if you fly in the US.  Somehow, MS forgot to include a whole bunch of bridges in the US.  The patch fixes that.

"......i could choose the Aircraft-> Tail angle..."

If by 'tail angle', your referring Rudder Trim.....yes, FS9 is just like FSX. They even use the same default keyboard controls..... [Ctrl + Num 0] and [Ctrl + Num Enter].

The default Boeing airliners and a few ga aircraft have a Rudder Trim Control/Indicator on their panels or sub-panels.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

Hehe, By saying Tail angle i was not reffering to Rudders;) But the views from outside, like Spot plane view and locked spot.
And yea Dan, that was more the answer i was looking for;)
Anyways, thanks alot for all the answers. it was all i needed.!
