That is actually an awesome video ! Graphics in the game look really great and I'm thinking about picking it up when it's released in October. Anyone else?

That was definitely a cool video . Still play FS2004 (beautiful simulator) so probably gonna hop on board with FSX when it's released.

That is what I thought - I would guess there are two versions - one for Vista (DX10) and one for everyone else.

The one thing I noticed over earlier versions was "moving" ground traffic on the tarmac near the gates. I own 2002 Professional, so I don't know if that was included in the 2K4 version.

Demo releasing tomorrow, just letting those who want to try it out know in advance . I will be working tomorrow at the time it's released (August 9th, 8pm EST) so just go to gamespot at that time and grab it from there unless you find other mirrors.

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator X

I would think it's because it's two topics covering the same thing like I said in the other thread... not sure why that one was locked when this one is already dying. Oh well, use this now.

My download is complete on a sidenote!!

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator X

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator X

They were playable when scenary wasn't intense...as my 1st SS shows its running 6 FPS lol. But I did get the flickering problem as well waiting for new drivers on nvidia's side to fix the AA on it, as it seems it isn't working and to boost up a few things.

So far very impressed but overall after all this wait I don't know if it was worth it.

WHAT THE HELL? There's a freaking time limit on the demo which NO ONE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT.

I was just about to finish the mission that they included with the demo... and JUST AS I was about to touchdown to the runway... "Thank you for playing blah blah blah blah, your time limit on the demo has expired."

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator X

Ok, this is weird lmao, it told me my time was up yet I tried playing again and it works... *Cough* Microsoft is weird.

The graphics look awesome, having a problem using left rudder for some odd reason when the right works perfectly fine, did the mission again, landed the plane flawlessly, and couldn't go left so I had to use the good old fashion way of using the flaps ... however I crashed into the building using that idea so I failed the mission lol!

It's not bad at all, considering the last one I played was 2002 (not sure why I never ended up trying 2004) .

God damnit are there any mirrors?

I spend all of last night like 10 hours+ downloading this @ 5kb/s from gamespot and when I go to open the file it said file is damaged.

So I downloaded it again and it's damaged again.

I'm running 7900gt sli overclocked and I get like 10 fps in this game which is typical MS bloatware.

Plane controls suck too impossible to fly with a keyboard. At least in MS flight sim 2002 you oculd fly with a keyboard

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator X

Flight sim has always been a killer on CPUs and GPUs. I don't doubt that your SLI rig will be suffering. That is the only reason why I might not buy the game, because I know, with dense airports, my computer will not handle it (running a P4 3ghz and a 6800gtoc).

As CPU intensive as modern flisht sims are, I sure hope they optimized it for dual core processors.
