FS Global X 2008
Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2007 7:58 amI bought this software about a month ago. I read up on it, and I figured that it seemed like it would be a pretty good product. I am running Vista with 4Gs of memory and seems to push FS9 great and FSX pretty good. The reviews I read and the packaging say it has a set of software for FSX and another set of software for 2004/2002, but doesn't say anything about any computer software types (2000, XP, etc...) or limits other than, it takes up 13 MB. I never read any reviews about whether or not it would work with Vista, and actually I really didn't think about at the time, again, figuring that it's for FSX mainly and Vista has been for awhile now. Well, I got it load into FS9 just fine, and to be perfectly honest, I really wasn't that impressed with graphics. They look much like everything would look like if you turned everything to full blast on FS9, which is what I do most of the time anyway. To make matters worse, I can't get it to load into FSX at all. Most of the time, the computer doesn't even recognize that there is a CD/DVD is in the drive already. Oh, and, the instructions say that you NEED a DVD drive, which I do have. On three occasions, I lucked out and got as far as the second screen, which is the "load it" screen. It would load so far, and then "jam", and that was it. On two occasions, I let the program run all night ( because the instructions do say it will take a while, although it took no more than 15 minutes to load into FS9 ). When I checked on it the next mornings, it was still "jammed" at 12%, or something like that. Does anybody else have FS Global X 2008? Anybody have any problems like this with their software? I know these guys put some time and effort into making this product, and it's a shame that it really doesn't do much. I hope someone can get me on the right track, and hopefully make it worth the $60 of software that I paid for
