A few random shots from FSX, the shots are about as a good as my performance (poor )  FSX is fun, but its not practical.  The performance hit is too great for any serious flying, and for serious flying I'm sticking with FS9.  But for things like Helis or Gliding, FSX is the only way to go  8-)

These are in NO order, sorry

One good thing about FSX is it supports widescreen, which is great for my new monitor...CRJ Cockpit is pretty nice

From the good to the bad, a shot of why I don't like FSX.  I was getting MAYBE 15FPS in this shot, and although it was smooth, its no where near the 'excitement' I get in FS9 with traffic out the wazoo

From the bad back to the good, why I like FSX - stunning graphics.  This is from the mission 'Sitka Approach'

Elephant!

And finally, does anyone else recognize the paint schemes on these planes?  I see 'American Pacific', 'Pacifica', 'Landmark', 'Orbit', and 'World Travel'.  This is Mojave BTW on the mission where you have to test fly a 747


Hope you enjoyed these more than I did taking them  Dont expect to see TOO much FSX from me, Im still a diehard FS9 fan

So They Used the Old 734s to Recreate the Mojave Scrapyard?

That elephant shot's a classic. Really interesting randoms here Jon..

Using the old FS9 paintschemes for Mojave is very clever indeed  8-)

Fabulous shots Jake, I'm with Clip about the elephant pic  :)

Unless the promised January patch will make a miracle (but I think it will peter out like the historical patch for FS2000, that did nothing for anything ) FSX will remain for years still an unpractical simulator. A botched attempt. A something only those with a LARGE bank account and GREAT willingness to spend and wait for still un-thought better hardware to came... maybe... one day... while they wait with a sim that is largely deficient.

Great shots jake, thanks for sharing.  I like the aircraft graveyard with all the old FS airlines in it.  Out with the old, in with the new.  That mission was one of my favorites so far.







Finally, a screenshot thread without the FSX controversy, where everyone can just focus on the shots and....oh, wait.....

That elephant shot's a classic. Really interesting randoms here Jon..

Whose Jon?  

Thanks all...and ashaman, I hope that the patch fixes the problems, especially the darn memory leak caused by autogen, its HORRIBLE!

With all settings at about 5/6 I can play is with a nice 24/8 FPS, works fine for me 8-)

Mees, you basing your experiance off a 500 dollar video card I would hope it would work fine with that type of hardware. Nice shots Jake, me likes the elephant one
