February 16, 201115 yr Dont add more ram, will do nothing for fsx. Perhaps faster ram, if your mobo can handle it. Rudder is a must, I'd say. Add TrackIR 4 or 5 and put your head in the cockpit. Bjorn "I´ll rather be down here wishing I was up there than be up there wishing I was down here"
February 16, 201115 yr Author Thanks for the reply, I'm strongly swayed towards the pedals, the trackir is a cracking idea too. Also have been looking at some SSD's,. omg decisions, decisions.Thanks again
February 17, 201115 yr An SSD is a great idea. I've added a single one exclusively for FSX. Crucial Real C300 120-something gb is not too pricy, and as far as I know, is maintainance free. B "I´ll rather be down here wishing I was up there than be up there wishing I was down here"
