Hi,I am about to spend "a bit" on FSX, I will be buying:UTX,GibraltarX,UK2000 Heathrow ( in the end I decided to go for UK2000 because I would like FPS friendly add-ons....and from what some of you guys said and the info internet gave me, I can see that this add-on is really FPS friendly)Level-D 767 and Super80 ...Now, I'd like to have three short-medium range aircrafts, one is the Super 80... now I am looking at the Flight1 ATR and the Flight1/Digital Aviation Fokker 70/100...I'd like to have some info ( Virtual Cockpit,FPS impact etc..) before going to buy the ATR or the Fokker...Thanks...

Could my CPU handle also GEX?What FPS can I expect while running the LDS767 GEX UTX and Gibraltar X/UK2000Heathrow?Thanks again!

The ATR is an old port and the VC is, at best, just adequate. Take a look at http://atr.flight1.net/forums/default.asp before making a decision. The Fokker is a wonderful sim, but hard on framerates, has no VC, and has no official support at all - see http://www.simforums.com/forums/fokker-70100_forum41.html . For short and medium ranges I recommend the FeelThere EJets V2.0 or the ERJ135-145 V2.DJ

I can see that this add-on is really FPS friendly)I'd like to have some info ( Virtual Cockpit,FPS impact etc..) before going to buy the ATR or the Fokker...

Do yourself a favour - you've got a 2600('K', I assume?) - bump the clock up to 4.5 gig or better, and then stop worrying about frames.......http://forum.avsim.net/topic/340021-overclocking-sites/

There is no penalty for loading GEX textures, because it takes as much work to load a default blah texture than it does to load the better GEX textures.Cheers,- jahman.
