Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2009 5:35 pmJust bear in mind that this is the FSX Demo. It runs perfectly well on my low-end machine which I know full well wouldn't stand a chance with the full release version.

i was just about to say, its just the DEMO. Not the WHOLE PACKAGE. the whole package is a TERRIBLE resource hog! almost as bad as IE8!!!!!! >:(
Now I am thinking of scrapping my FSX Deluxe (bought) version and downloading the Demo Version just because I rarely ever fly FSX anyway, and when I do I wish it would look decent enough to where I could at least just see buildings at my airports and not just baren wasteland when it is supposed to be KSEA, KATL, BOS, JFK, LAX......... ugh... (sigh) :-/
