FSX on a MacBook Pro

Featured Replies

FSX is a 32bit application so there's no way it can use more than 4GB of RAM

 

 

 

Sorry, no idea, I'm FSX only. That's a massive resolution for a 15'' screen, I don't even think the gauges in FSX will be readable

Sorry to sound like a fool, but can't I change the resolution so that the pixels will "double up" and replicate the existing Pro screen?

Yeah, sure, you should have the option to run 1920x1200 or 1600x1000 I guess

I don't imagine FSX would run terribly well on the GPU they've included with the new MBP, especially since you'll have to run Boot Camp to run Win 7 and you're still reliant upon Apple's drivers which are always out of date and never optimized for gaming performance. Nice screen though. I was surprised when I swapped my 1080P 27" Samsung out for the 1440P monitor(s) I have now. Aliasing is virtually non-existent even with just the basic MSAA applied by the graphics settings in FSX.

 

I thought Apple's drivers are only to get Boot Camp to be able to install Win 7, then it's native Win 7, no? At that point aren't you really running all Win 7 drivers while in the Win 7 OS? Even if this interpretation isn't correct, I can't see wanting to run FSX on a laptop!

I'm sure you'll be able to read the gauges in 2880x1800 you'll just need to zoom in a bit. That feature is well supported in FSX.
