First payware is.. (Finally here! Whee)

Postby FlyingPerson » Sun Mar 15, 2009 4:13 pm

Not what you would have been expecting, but indeed..

Yep, the Level D Simulations Boeing 767-300ER. Why didn't I choose REX, GEX, UTX or something like that? Well, because:
Personally, I can wait with enviromental upgrades.
This baby has SWEET HD textures everywhere.
Not as frame rate heavy as for example Captain Sim 757. With Clear Skies in TNCM, settings between medium and full, and 4 AI planes nearby, my frames were 9-14 outside, and 9-11 in the VC. That's livable for me, really! As long as it doesen't dip down into 5-6. I know TNCM isn't that detailed, but.. anyway! With the CS 757 it would be like 2-3 everywhere ;D
The 767 is really my favorite Boeing!

Now for some VC shots..

Hope you liked. So.. what are you waiting for? Go buy it! :D

Nah.. only that i'm used to 747s flying like Cessnas... so a jet aircraft that really flies like a jet aircraft ( ;D ) is unusual to me.

If you only knew the power of the dark side... :evil :evil :evil :evil :evil :evil :evil :evil :evil

Now that you're in, there's no going back (I have been sucked in quite thouroughly myself).

By the way, an excellent first choice. ;)

If you have everything turned down, it should run okay (12-16 FPS) on a mediocre system. It all depends on what's inside your computer.

Oh,
Well I decided to go with the 767. There's alot of livery's for it right? It seems by the reviews this one is a really good one. All I will need to do it go to a store to print up that 169 or something page manual!  :D ;D

The VC will kill your frames if you are running a low end system, but if you turn a few certain other frame killers down it will run smooth.   I have a mid level system and I can run the 757 smoothly at max settings so it isn't THAT bad (I'm talking about FS9 by the way, not FSX)
Alienware X51_R2 (thank you wife) Windows 8.1, 6GB Ram, Intel Core i3-4150 CPU @3.50GHz
FSX Acceleration settings on max, no twitches or glitches.

I'm running FSX too. The Level D 767 runs great on every setting turned up fully except the in-game-antialiasing (using nHancer and my GeForce 9600M GT for that), Traffic (64 %) boat traffic (21 % both) and road traffic (0 %, too FPS heavy and terrible looking cars) and scenery and autogen. (Scenery dense and autogen both dense) :D I think my laptop works great for FSX.

Using the CS 757 in FSX is not recommended. If you want a CS plane in FSX, you're probably better off with their 727 Captain.

And indeed, there's alot of liveries for it.. Search for "level-d" in AVS*M, FS2004 aircraft repaints.. 50 pages of repaints..

PS: The FS2004: ACOF liveries work with FSX too, as long as they're .lds files, supported by the LDS 767 Repaint Manager. Any repaints you download that is .lds files, are just put in the "Downloads" file and then you use the Repaint Manager to add it. If you download some files that are not .lds repaint files, you won't be able to use them.. I think. I didn't really try.

And Big, FS9 and FSX has some really large differences in how it looks scenery and autogen-wise.. have you for example tried taking off from MDW in both FS9 and FSX, then compared them? You'd need some good addons in FS9 to make it look as good as FSX. I'd go as far as calling FSX next-gen graphics, at least compared to FS9. Then again FS9 has some good add-ons.

FS9 gives you better frame rates in FPS heavy aircraft.

FSX gives you a better looking world without any add-ons, but is FPS heavy.

I don't have any FPS problems, so I say:

*FSX-Forever!*

PS: If you're going with Captain Sim, get the 727 Captain for FSX.
If you're going with Level-D, get the 767 for FSX.

Okay cool  ;)
I looked at all of them and am pretty excited.
These are good high quality livery's right because my game is on the low low low graphics so I usually only fly downloaded airplanes so they have good paints that arent blurry. 8-)
