Ok just wondering who will be there on the due date I am rather happy with 2004 have no plans, from what this forum suggests, performance is an issue and my Nvidia GeForce FX5200 128MB doesnt stand a chance! I had autogen very dense on 2004 last night over very scenery demanding (NYC) landscape and URGH! what chance does FSX have? could think about upgrading but I am happy with 2004 as it is...

Sorry ppl, FS9 with the right add-ons is practically the twin of FSX, and its WAY easier on the frame rate.
To those who of FSX still have the demo in mind (that only displays a little island in the middle of the sea), try and make the REAL final version go decently with a rig like mine without weeping in rage, and only then come here and say I'm wrong.
FS9 for a year at least (and maybe even more) still for me.

I simply said that I had the honor to try the new sim and decided to remain with FS9.
Its workings on my rig aren't really encouraging me to use it.
What did I say wrong?
PS
I'm talking about the complete version, of course.

Other, which equals "must wait for years until I can justify in the budget to spare the cash to buy a massive new gaming rig that costs 40X the price of the software it would be intended to run". I didn't see that choice in the poll. ;D

I have decided I might as well buy it soon, even though it is unlikely to work spectacularly on my laptop, actually, pretty much guaranteed to be very rough, I am graduating high school in six months and will either get a new computer as a gift, or get enough money to buy a new one, until then I can mess around with settings and such, maybe invest in a new video card, either way, I am looking forward to getting it.

I voted for # 4 because i am happy with 2004, but i probably will get FSX eventually. I might want to upgrade a bit first and i've spent so much time adding on to FS9, i'm just not in any hurry to move on.

I voted other. I will buy FSX but not for at least another year or so. I have FS9 completely maxed out and it's running very smoothly. I wonder if FSX will do the same for me. So I'll wait until all the tweaks and settings have been found, new hardware is available and FSX drops in price.
