Everything for the bin?
EHM-1703 Philip:
I got it in the post today... So far so good but have not had time to investigate fully, will post an update in a few hours :)
EHM-1703 Philip:
OK, here is my considered opinion...... WAIT!!!!!
Wow it's a frame rate killer! No I mean really..... With Sliders set half way across I was lucky to get a jerky 14 FPS over central London! (1280x1024) At this setting my FS9 with Visual Flight London, Ground Environment and AS6 looks and performs far better!
I can see it has a lot of improvements and the game itself is well finished but I think most of us will suffer an over whelming dissapointment at first until our hardware and the 3rd party addons catch up!
Just for your info, my specs are:
Intel 820 Dual Core CPU Overclocked to 3.1Ghz
Saphire ATI Radeon X1800 GPU with 256mb Ram
Abit AL8 Mobo
2gb Corsair XMS2 CAS3 PC6400 RAM
74gb SATA WD Raptor 10,000rpm HDD
Looks like I will be getting the Core2 Duo CPU & MOBO for Christmas! I will wait to get a new GPU until the DX10 stuff settles in price after release. One thing I am trying is Vista! MS have released RC1 version of Vista for testing purposes so I am downloading it to see if this improves performance any.
I will keep you posted.
EHM-1821 Javier:
I'll try to buy it as soon as it comes out, question is, when it comes out..in Singapore...:]
EHM-1671 Ben:
I don't think it will take too long to get to Singapore, Javier.... and it doesn't really matter since the computer requirements are going to be through the roof (for me, at least) and all the FSX updates are going to take a while to make.
EHM-1947 Miko:
Yes frame rate killer - that's what is said quite often - but wasn't that the problem at all new releases?
My reason to wait is that I've bought loads of Addons the last year and it will last a certain time till there are the first equivalent products for FSX on the market.
And the question: Online flying - are there any problems?
I'm looking forward an interesting time and keep on enjoying FS9 for a while.
