FSW INSTALL
Posted: Fri May 26, 2017 12:17 pm
Steam/DoveTailGames, Flight Sim World..my system: HP Pavilion dv6 notebook, Win 8.1 64 bit, Intel 7 processor, 1TB HD, 8Gb RAM, Radon 6700M graphics. I currently run FSX SE on this system with nearly all settings max with excellent performance.
I downloaded FSW directly from Steam which took nearly FIVE HOURS to complete. To date I have spent something over 15 hours (most of which was consumed by waiting for the program and flight to be loaded). The following are my observations on FSW to date:
1. Excessive time to load the program to begin using it.
2. Equally excessive time to define and load flight.
3. The scenery is very poor. The airport and local terrain around them bears NO resemblance to the actual area. For example, I live in SoCal and the areas on and around KLAX,KVNY, KSNA AND KFUL are unrecognizable.
4. Really confusing to create flight plan.
5. NO ATC!!
6. Frame rates range between 4 to 11 fps.
To their credit, the modeling of the aircraft was excellent despite not being to change the HDG bug with a mouse.
Installation after the download defaulted to C:/program files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/FSW.
Anyone else having similar problems? Guidance would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
