Well lets see....

its way to early to start complaining now.

Lets wait a month or two to find the bugs, and tweak your system

OR

wait until Vista and DX10 come out
see how your system runs..

Then start complaining!! Grin

My only complaint is that i haven't got it yet Cry

If you don't like it, then sell it
(you could sell it to me Roll Eyes)

I still insist FSX is a downgrade!!!  I am a pilot of many years standing and I don't just use the sim for what is known as "eye candy" M(qualcosa)s have not paid attention to other areas of the sim that are probably more important than just the view. And, as has been said in other threads the "view" leaves much to be desired!!!"
I'm not prepared to spend a lot of money on a PC upgrade
just to be able to run FS9.3.

Why is it a downgrade? PLEASE explain. fsX has ALL fs9 features, as well as some huge improvments.

I see you bought fs9 for new Weather? fsX has improved weather, missions, terrain engine, sound? yet it's a downgrade  Roll Eyes

That's a load of **** !!!!!!!
If I walk into a shop wanting to buy a game and see that my PC specs are well above the printed minimum, I expect it to work well! If it doesn't then it's money back time

It's terrible. But other companies also do it. Bethesda did it with Oblivion stating the Geforce 5 could run Oblivion. It could but at 1fps.

I tried a tip i found that said to set the FPS limiter to unlimeted and for some reason its now running between 20 and 30 fps Shocked when i try to lock it back to lets say 20 it drops down to 6-15 fps again ??? ???

It still jumps but it wont go lower than 10 fps now in most areas, im puzzeled as to why this happens but you might give it a try too Smiley

Bindoe, Bindoe, Bindoe.....

It is OK to say something bad about the new version.
Everybody will still like you.  Grin

I have been keeping a very close eye in the screenshots forum and to this date,

HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING IMPRESSIVE!!

Big deal, people worked out their anti-aliasing and their image is clear. Some cool water textures and a few trees added that is about it.

Interesting idea but I think it would be no contest unless you stipulate no addons.

No offence Dave but that seems a lot like bragging to me. Roll Eyes

PS. It's hardly a fair comparison which is surely what this is all about.

Doug, please, I am not one to brag at all.
I have had all this and never once really mentioned it to anybody. If anybody knows my sim, they know what is included. I was just making a point as to why I am happy with my sim. A simple copy and paste is all it is from my install list. Basically I am backing up what I have said about FSX, that FS9 is the same with all the above included. Allot more money.

You know what, If i sound like I am bragging, then so be it. I sure have spent enough on this hobby so  Tongue
I deserve bragging rights!  Grin

And by the way, I know allot of people who have asked me what I have in my machine, so maybe this thread now needs to be moved to the Payware forum.  Wink

OK, I give you the benefit of the doubt there but I really don't see the relevance. Most members of this forum couldn't hope to afford all that payware, even if they wanted to. I know I couldn't. FS9 with $5,000 worth of addons bloody well should be better than FSX straight out of the box. Roll Eyes

PS. I think you know that I was never a supporter of payware.
