AMD Athlon XP2000+ 1.67GHz, 768mb RAM, Nvidia GeForce FX 5600XT.

Low-mid settings. Getting around 12-15fps at 15fps lock. Will go up to about 20 every now and then, if I don't lock.

Turns out I can get 20 almost constantly, with my display settings looking pretty nice. As good as FS9 at least, with no real blurry textures.

OK initial impressions:
- Music is annoying... will change it to something else when i have the retail version
- AA Switch overrides my card settings even when they are on 'forced 4x'
- Settings finally say what they do instead of stupid digits
- Far better view controls (you can select the closest AI machines)
- Direction sensitive sound effects. Front of Beaver -> only prop, rear of Beaver -> prominent exhaust sounds

Performance: 20fps steady with all but weather on high and traffic maxed. Terrain mesh and autogen do have a huge impact on FPS, but i assume that overall performance will be better in the release version

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

Pentium 4 304 GHz with Hyper threading
4 Gb Ram
geforce 6800 256 Mb

run smoothly with default setting but look like FS2002, when playing with setting I have a "good" looking sim, but it's mainly due to the water effect.
As said before, increase terrain mesh, scenery complexity or autogen have a HUGE impact on FPS.
At the last time I had scenery set to dense, autogen to normal, terrain mesh complexity to 70ish and the framerate was not hitting 10...
going to give it another go...

See specs in sig

Runs pretty well at mid settings, I am going to tweek them a bit later. I was getting 15-30 or so most of the time. I noticed that clouds are still killers, so either they didnt optimize them for the demo or they havent fixed that stupid little problem

There is no need for clarification or confirmation. Although part of my contract includes an MS-NDA my contract is not with MS directly... there is nothing in it that states revealing that I test is a violation, only details to such projects. However after consideration of the issue and the nature of the subject I have decided to not participate in the forum fun.

Thank you for your assessment.

EDIT: I 'm heading toward Redmond this morning and I will make sure I address the matter at some point today. I doubt there would be more than a chuckle about it since nothing I posted violates any agreements however I will make sure your concerns are addressed and clarified.

Open the FSx,cfg and change the following entry:

AmbientUI=1 to AmbientUI=0

You will find the FSx.cfg in the same place as the FS9.cfg, just one folder down.

C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR ACCOUNT NAME\Application Data\Microsoft\FSXDemo

Just unclick it in settings and save.

Anyway:
P4 2.3
1 Gig
256mb

All maxed except weather set to low. Low-ish frame rate but acceptable. A little tweaking needed.
Air Traffic brilliant. Co-Pilot on the approach mission very good, lets you get on with the flying.

Looking forward to the real deal.

PS anyone working on the 30 mimute limit yet??

yep, that will work too.. I am accustomed to making quick edits in the FSx.cfg file so in case he can’t find the setting in the sim that method is now available. Grin

I dunno, when I'm flying over the sea or something the fps stays at a healthy 20. But as soon as I get anywhere near an airport and when I'm about to land/take off, the fps drops to 8-9 per sec. Is this how it is for everyone else? I sure hope it will be fixed in the retail version.

Really? I'd of expected that to run good.

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.
