Good grief, I've gone and done it...

... I have joined the ranks of those with FS9 and FSX. Saw a copy of Gold in PC World yesterday discounted wildly, so as I recently bought a new gaming PC for my 11-year old which runs FS9 maxed out sweet as a nut, I thought that it would cope with FSX ok ...
--- and it does! Lots of technical gubbins like quad-core, 1gb graphics card, 4gB memory etc. It'll be a test bed primarily though for several reasons; I've been contacted by a few people recently asking if my add-ons were FSX-compatible, so now I can actually test them out and confirm. And my son will be hogging the machine with his driving games and the like, so that machine availability for FSX flying sessions is likely to be few and far between!
Routine flying will still be done on FS9 however (on my laptop as I'm travelling a fair bit these days.)
