I think the maximum fps for fsx is 96 if you run it like that, STOP playing video games and continue designing that space ship :D

ok i have to admit:i am a freeware junkie. ;D

I spend 1/2 of the time on the web looking for free stuff ;D
But Flight is free, so it could not hurt to try ;)
Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

why did you spend that much on a computer that runs FSX?
we spent 300-500(don't know anymore) on the computer,the rest is all freeware...
well,ok,i run it at 5-10 FPS but there isn't much visual difference between 8 and 30 fps IMHO...


Well, I'll readily admit that I'm more hard-nosed and aggressive than most folks, that being said...

In general, they just didn't have the "horsepower" to make a nice, smooth take off and landing (even with a trike). I'm a veteran of over 80 re/installs with FSX/Acceleration. I went through the first 3 computers when SP1 was being worked on (we didn't know that at the time). I had #4 when SP2 was being worked on (we didn't know that at the time either). I still couldn't take off and land a Skyhawk without studdering, freezing and crashing with #5. #6 is now my back up, it is real good, it is an i7 920, 12Gs and 1G vid card with limited cooling. Now I have an i7 985, 16Gs and 2G vid card with eight fans and intercooler. With this computer I can take off, "fly" and land a small twin engine without a problem - all smooth, all the time, no crashes because of over-heating, running out memory etc. Basically, no excuses.

On the program side: I bought FSX on the release date for $80. I also bought Acceleration on it's release date for $60. Then UTX US&CAN, GEX NA, FEX, MTX, Traffic X, AFX, Heli-Traffic 2009, IS2, were about $40 a pop, REX was $80. So that's about $420. Over time I have purchased about 25-30 payware aircraft at an average of $30 a pop (quick math, jeez) $800-$900. I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff like a registered version of FSUIPC to run some hardware - oh yeah, hardware, I have some Saitek and GoFlight stuff too.

And yeah, I write and edit my own AI traffic plans which I use along with freeware packages, I use some freeware sceneries and overhaul some of my local airports too.... I'd say I have invested a little bit into FSX.

Oh, I almost forgot, I enjoy "flying" all of my aircraft while checking out the nice scenery too!

I just spent a small fortune on scenery for FSX, but do not regret it. If Flight proves itself to be on the hardcore side I will spend the bucks. If it continues to be a token collector, spend it on FSX and Prepar 3D version 2.

BTW......
I have be searching the gaming sites and none evnen reference "Flight" and it certainly is not an anticipated title in the gaming comunity.

Add to this the mixed feelings about it with the sim comunity, it would seem that MS has misread thier markets to the extreme.

I'm reminded of the old Chevy "El Camino".

I am deeply disappionted that MS Flight is not going to be released as a CD-ROM edition and that it has to be downloaded only  that too in bits pieces. Surely my anxious wait for MS Flight for months together is dieing down, slowly. Will I download the free Trial version ? Well I dont know yet.

IMO. Sounds as though M$ have taken up the art of drug dealing....Giving out that 1st sample for free. But if you wanna get "high" with us again your gonna have to pay for it. Oh and tell your friends.....

Drugs and drug dealers are bad mkaay....

Just say no! mmmmmmkaaayy ;D

It's free, of course I'll download it.  ...I just don't anticipate playing it for very long or buying any of the DLC.  FSX is my main sim regardless of how fun Flight winds up being.
