A way better FSX pic..

[gottoflynow]

After the humiliation of my last pic set I went and got infranview, turned up the AA and was amazed at the results.

Please reply with your comments,

man FSX has great graphics. That brings it all out.

Not to rain on no one's parade, but what about framerates? :-/

I myself too can reinstall FSX, put all sliders on left, take off decently, put my plane in a nice position, pause the sim, crank up all the details to max and then take a shot. Shame that in that condition I'd be flying a slideshow if I was using the same parameters to fly.

I know a lot of people wit your config (as in sig) or even better that can't get near FSX without going well under acceptable framerates.

Beautiful is beautiful, but it has WAY too many negative angles, the FS2000 V1.5 M$ called FSX.

With all the sliders in the middle to medium high I get anywhere from 7-18 frames per second, the 7 being in busy airports and detailed cities and 18 in rural areas (This shot was taken 30 miles west of Seattle).  Its not as good as FS9 is but it is flyable and it looks good 8-) and thats all I care about.

Great shot.

My opinion (and I realize that opinions are like A__holes, everybody has one) is that FSX is great for screenshots but for everyday flying around and having fun, you can't beat FS9 with all the addons. I bought Ultimate Traffic and Ultimate Scenery and I love it. I will just sit on FSX until I win the lottery and can afford a Voodoo system with liquid nitro cooled quad processors and dual video cards etc.

Yup, way better indeed.

All I run now is FSX (although sometimes miss all my old ac's in FS9). Without retyping my sig (below), the only time mine goes into "slideshow" mode is taxi and takoff.  After about 1000-1500 off the deck i'm smooth as silk. Then of coarse landing and gate taxi........back to slideshow. I'm thinking of bridgeing my 6800 to double the video mem.........but thats another thread in another simV section for another time
