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

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).

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 |

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.

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) .

said by LaZ3R  :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." $%$!@@!%%!@%!@%!@%!@!@%!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow this really sucks bro, I didn't even play it for that long maybe 20 minutes hopefully someone will crack it.

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.

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!!
