Way nicer! Probably also consume tons more resources though.

RAM 1 GB DDR 2
HD 500 GB
GeForce ????? / ATI Radeon HD ???? 1 GB
etc.

will FSX run smoothly guys???

[bolli]

I can't say smoothly
It will certainly run FSX to a decent level

If my 2.1 Ghz T4300 laptop will run it...

[Sheepy]

Spend a little more money on ram. 1GB is cutting it close.

That's a lot of question marks. The information you provided is really vague


The following is based on my experience with FSX.

If you want to run FSX with high graphics and complex payware aircraft and eye candy (like vehicles), I'd recommend an i5 or i7 (at least 2.8ghz clock speed), preferably one of the Sandy Bridge processors that just came out (i5/i7-2xxx series) so you have an upgrade path. A first-gen i5 or i7 is also fine for FSX, but keep in mind that platform is now a dead end.
RAM - you'd need at least 2GB. I highly recommend 4GB (if at all possible).
Graphics card - I recommend a GTX 460 or 560 level or better, or ATI Radeon 5770/6850 or better

I'm not sure what your budget is, but for FSX the processor speed is the most important factor, then graphics card. Prioritize in that order (if you don't play other graphics heavy games). But none of that matters if you don't have enough ram (see above).

sorry for that

btw thx for your advice!

Well Microsoft is saying virtually zip about it's new Flight game. But from the videos they've put out I think it's just FSX with improved terrain and autogen

[Conor]

To me looks like a bit of an ace combat

[SoonerAirlines]

I run X plane. Great game.

[Stevphfeniey]

[Stevphfeniey]

Well if they're not in the default game then someone will make them... For a fee

[bolli]

I think that the big question is going to be over compatability with FSX and FS9. Most FSX Users won't change over to flight without knowing that it will replicate what they already have, so they don't have to re-buy payware etc.

[bolli]

TBH, it just looks like an upgrade of FSX, In the same way FS98 Was from 95.........

but its written by a completely different company....

[Stevphfeniey]

I don't really see it as a problem if it's based on FSX, I mean FSX is based off FS2004 which is based off FS2002 and so on and so forth.

Thats the problem.
Its not based on FSX

[Stevphfeniey]

You may be onto something, I mean it looks sorta like FSX with some graphic improvements. I'm curious if they do anything with the flight models

[bolli]

I thought some of the project aces people came back also, im sure microsoft still owns MSFS, after firing all the programmers, although i may be wrong, but i recall Bruce artwick (original creator of flight simulator) left microsoft, or was fired (cant remember), but microsoft kept the rights to the MSFS code.........
That doesnt mean its based on FSX, im just talking random junk thats slightly related to the topic at hand

Its a completely different graphics engine to FSX

[9M-TKS]

Woah, I'm confused. There's ANOTHER Fs?? Anyone got an official link please?

Oh wow I'm outdated

[Conor]

Im pretty sure the project aces team got back together under a new name and are working on a new flight sim? Maybe they joined with X-plane because X-Plane 10 looks amazing
