Yeah, seem almost otherworldly, doesn't it? Yet, if you ask M$, they will tell you that those specs are the bare minimum to make the program start... not to use it. That's the clever excuse (that NO law has EVER seen for what it is FOR REAL) to snag uninformed and unaware people. Tongue

After all... try and mount a legal case against MICROSOFT if you dare... Grin

I love how you guys think that because FSX required a super computer to run, that Flight will be the same way. It's very funny. Grin

No, Brandon, EVERYONE of us can tell FOR SURE that Flight will perhaps have the performances angle corrected, but WILL be beleaguered by ANOTHER set of mistakes and errors that will make it unsuitable for some people... mistakes and errors we all spoke about in other threads and I'm not going to resume here because merely writing about it, here or elsewhere, never resolved NOTHING anyway.

And anyway, we were nor talking about it. We were simply examining the crystalline honesty M$ used into defining the minimum suggested specs for FSX.

This was not limited to FSX. Look backward.

Looking at the early pages and threads in the other MS simulator sections can be very enlightening. As can living through every version since the original.

But in all honesty, what are going to be some main differences between FSX and microsoft flight? By looking at the images, they both look the same. Huh

Yeah it's quite amusing to read.

FSX's render engine is, by now, outdated and just horribly optimized for multi-core processors and newer graphic cards. That's why you can't take full advantage of newer CPUs/GPUs. DX10 for example was simply implemented, like it says in the settings menu, as a preview, never fully. So even if you have a modern high-end PC, you'll never push the most out of fsx because the engine is limited. This does not mean the game cannot be fun.

With the new title coming up, I hope they get rid of these limits and implement true multi-core support & full DX10.1 features and I even hope to see DX11 features.
DX11 Tesselation is one of the features that I would love to see in the terrain and water. An example:

[i]Be sure to look at the difference before and the after the wire-frame part between 0:35 and 0:55. It does require some high-end hardware, but they could simply put it in the new engine and leave it to the user whether they enable it or not[/i]

@Strategic Retreat,
Nobody is perfect, even companies (including Microsoft) make mistakes whether big or small.

If you don't like the game and/or are only here to bash Microsoft (Yes, Microsoft, not M$), simply refrain from posting on forums like these. Suggestions:
-Delete Windows and install linux or get a Mac;
-Get alternative flight simulator from a different company like x-plane;
There are people that do enjoy playing these games and like to discuss about it on forums, who do not want to read your rants about Microsoft/Flight Simulator. Thanks.

For example, I don't like Apple-branded stuff, but you don't hear me ranting all over the place how shitty I think they are?
