I started flight simming again after many years away with fsx, but was a bit dissapointed with fps of 15 or so. Went back and bought a fs2004 package for 20 bucks, and it's running well over 40 fps. I do notice that fsinn drastically affects the fps, but still hovering around 30 or so when it is running.Im sticking with FS9 until I go out and get a e6800 one day, and can use the DX10 platform.Plus, the number of addons for FS9 are astonishing. ANd the planes seem to handle the same in both.thoughts?My system, btw;dell 8400 3ghz, 1 gb ram, video is th GEFORCE 7600 with 256 ram

Since your sticking around with FS9 (like me but I also dabble in FSX), you should take advantage of some of the Christmas sales going on right now.ClutchProject 9Dragons

FS9 is still the way to go for me for the foreseeable future. I've bought some great stuff at 50% or more off lately for FS9. FSX runs fairly bad on my system, so I doubt I'll be using it much.Check out the sales at fscloud9.com. I picked up KDCA and KLAX both for a grand total of about $23. Also just ordered the Wilco 737 from pcaviator.com, which is on sale at $16.95 + shipping until 12/31.KP

Great advice about checking out the holiday sales--Carenado has a few packages to choose from. I just bought the 182Q/Dakota combo which they were selling for $19.95. Here's links to a couple of threads I posted with shots of these great add-ons:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...&mesg_id=249299http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...&mesg_id=249140-John
