You people have already forgot what M€$ admitted when FS9 went out in the shops three years ago, haven't you?

For those of short memory, way back then M€$ admitted that a PC powerful enough to make FS9 run smoothly did not yet at the time exist.

Do YOU really think that this time around things will be different? Lips Sealed Undecided

Please. Roll Eyes

Read my post. K8L nor X2900XTXs are out yet.

Hmmm... I'll definately want a computer that has an nVidia Geforce that has 10 terrabytes of memory on it and  100 terrabytes of RAM! Grin At the moment my computer can't even run Pilots SR-71 because I only have 510 megabytes of RAM. And 512 is required.  Tongue

Yah, I know all of you probably think waiting for DirectX 10 compatible Video cards are the best thing to do.  It is!  But I just want to know what you think would be the best with nowadays cards. Wink

Todays material will certainely no be enough for FSX, which is scheduled in at least 4 months.

THe computers they were running the Beta on were still getting only 10 or so FPS at certain times  Shocked

So? I get 5fps in fs2004 sometimes. Also, the game still needs to be optimized Wink It WILL run fine on current hardware while still looking better than fs9. You will NOT be abled to max it out.

Oh, and current graphics cards can max fsX out (minus DX10).

Let's please stick to normal graphics cards please.  Not great big, huge mad-house VGA things bigger than a comp power-supply...

Cuz, no VGA card can achieve FSX full settings on unlimeted frame rate.

It might help if for once, microsoft were open and honest about what systems they use for development.

Example: latest video clip shows very good performance on a large display, jitter free and excellent resolution. Somehow it just strikes me that their systems might be very discreet and hence infinately more powerful than average commercial gear.

If the developers have nothing to hide, and can back their minimum spec statements then perhaps we could have some info on what they use?

This could save a lot of anxiety and frustration amongst their customer base.

I personally can see no reason why this cannot be done, and I am sure a lot of people would be very interested to know what microsoft use.

There is no such thing as forced hardware upgrades, so there should be no problem.
