... I have joined the ranks of those with FS9 and FSX. Saw a copy of Gold in PC World yesterday discounted wildly, so as I recently bought a new gaming PC for my 11-year old which runs FS9 maxed out sweet as a nut, I thought that it would cope with FSX ok ...

--- and it does! Lots of technical gubbins like quad-core, 1gb graphics card, 4gB memory etc. It'll be a test bed primarily though for several reasons; I've been contacted by a few people recently asking if my add-ons were FSX-compatible, so now I can actually test them out and confirm. And my son will be hogging the machine with his driving games and the like, so that machine availability for FSX flying sessions is likely to be few and far between!

Routine flying will still be done on FS9 however (on my laptop as I'm travelling a fair bit these days.)

I have all the MS Sims since FS '98, and even after purchasing FSX I have always resisted going over to the Dark Side.

I have painted one of my FSX Installation Disks to represent the Death Star, and nailed it on the wall in front of my Computer to remind me never to enter the evil realms of "The Master"... Shocked

Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Lea and the rest of the crew are always at hand to help me fight off the dreaded "FSX urge"... Wink

Ted Striker: I flew FS9 in the past, but this FSX computer has four cores. It's an entirely different kind of flying.. altogether.

All: It's an entirely different kind of flying. Cool

Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying FSX is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

You guys kill me! Grin

Great place, this.

I haven't flown anywhere in FSX yet - but did two short hops in Europe last night in FS9! I'll be dragged kicking and screaming ...

BTW, where's Alrot's Citation X gone? I wanted to see the nuts and rivets that FSX can apparently show.

Try, not. Do - or do not. There is no try. (Oops, another quote.)
