I voted "Not as good as what you wanted it to be "
I am globally very statisfied by FSX, it keeps what FS9 had, and adds a lot of new functionnalities.

But on the other hand, it lacks some stuff that a lot of people was really expecting, like the flight models and the ATC with emergency procedures, etc...

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

i mainly said better than wat i wanted, because i did't want much more out of FS9 than missions and better graphics...

dont get me wrong, its not that i'm simple, its just that i wasn't expecting much from MS.

Thats the good thing about being a pessemist, ya dont expect much, ya wont be dissapointed as much. (downside: ya dont live as long... Sad

)

Should change the word "wanted" to "expected" there is no way any sim will be way more than I want

But the first choice will soon be in the lead with people voting and posting their usual "more headaches than I wanted", "more money than I wanted", "more problems than I wanted" etc.... Wink

Still too early to make up my mind... Wink

...!

It certainly seems to be a much larger ~~step~~ leap than it was for the previous versions of FS, using our existing hardware at the time... Shocked

...!

Making the changes from FS 2000 to FS 2002 to FS 2004 was more gradual, and our hardware coped with it easily with only minor, reasonably priced upgrades...if at all!... Kiss

...!

So, for all round playability I am still using FS 2004, (with all my lovely non-transferable add-ons), on a daily basis, until I find it imperitive to spend an awful lot of money on harware upgrades to fully cope with FSX...
...which is rather a shame... Cry

...!

My latest choices:
(a) Computer Hardware upgrade to cope with FSX.
(b) A new 88 key, hammer-action, Stage Piano/MIDI Master Keyboard, to accompany all my other musical instruments.

The Piano won, hands down... Grin

...no problemo.... Grin

FSX the best of the best of the best of the best, it has Much Much much better Fly dynamics, the graphics looks like moving photos.
At the begining , I wont denie I was really pist ,no boddy say anything about Vista etc, Is a tramp you buy it ,then latter, you will fell the need to buy Vista is sort of a monopoly.
But as the time goes on I'm begining to discover a new frontier in software-tecnology, what a graphic details ,I don't know why many of you still complaining Why It doesn't run in your pcs, But I have prove that this software can run in a P3 and as Katahu saids one thing is that run and one thing is that you enjoy hes so right ,I don't have a powerfull pc to set all full graphic (only to take shots) But for a normal fly I have to set everything to very low other wise I can't fly.
Once again I invite you to check whats going on on your pc (P4d & Athlon64) It should runs and offer you nice graphic ,The work worth it.
