List your system specs and describe how it ran

Got one for the 30 minute limit

now THAT WILL get me in trouble...  :-X

It depends how you look at it.


Mid settings- Doesn't really look "much" better than FS9, runs smoothly at 25 FPS.

Low settings- Looks like shit, but runs how I like it - 30+ FPS.

Maxed out- Awesome looking!! 10 FPS in airport- and island area. Over sea, 25 FPS.



I'm pretty happy with it, I guess I was just expecting too much yesterday, and I got really disappointed.

I can tell you, that is not bad at all. Don't be disappointed with that.

You guys need to keep the frame lock at 22-24FPS unless your running 7900GTX or SLI/Crossfire

Running that frame lock on unlimited or 30 frames with what FSX considers 'medium-low" hardware will never get you anywhere.

FSX needs SLI/crossfire and a dual processor to max the sliders, especially resolution, and still have resources for smooth flight.

There are similar optimizing tricks for FSX as FS9 but there are changes to how those are made. AS time goes on all of that will come out.

Its just a demo and designed to have some quarks so dont rate FSX based on the demo.


Off to work

System specs:

768MB DDR RAM
nVidia GeForce FX Go5200 64MB
Intel P4 2.8GHz Processor

Average framerate, with low settings (blurry textures, 76m mesh, very "un-detailed" water etc):: 6FPS

With water (slightly) detailed: 2-3FPS

With my preferred settings, I'd probably get -5FPS

Not to worry, I knew my PC would handle FS exactly like this. Time to get a WAY better graphics card methinks.

system in sig

with everything at about 90% or high i was getting 24fps over the water and between 8-13fps over land, which is kinda crap so i dont think ill be buying the full version.

[Overspeed]

flight sim stuck at 83%... ready to fight it

[GuitarFreak]

AMD 3200+ @ 2GHz
NVIDIA 5200 GeForce FX
1Gb DDR2 Ram

Ran pretty good. Kinda like FS2004. Had everything at high. Got around 20FPS.

Not that bad...so I should expect half or so of everything...as I have 1GB of RAM whereas you have 2...

[wealthysoup]

everything med/high

around 17-22fps

although terrain textures more than 1mile away (roughly) look REALLY bad or if your flying quite fast they get really blurry. does this happen to anyone else or is it just my hardware?

pc specs in sig.

[Sniperman]

When i have the settings maxed ill get 16-20 but after the initial load no new scenery will sharpen just stays blurry.

[wealthysoup]

must just be a problem in the demo itself then...hopefully theey'll fix it up for the real release.

[Arnimon]

I

[loomex]

it looked good to me. Even added a few planes to see what it looked like. Frame rates were as good or better that fs2004. I tried thr 737 experiance AA Astro jet. almost had a clear "see through" look to it. Tried the B-36H. Looked great sounded better, but runway was not long enough to take off(duh!). Gave the b747 sound and a panel and it flies great. Got my $70 saved up!
