Hi,

 

Really hoping someone will be able to help...

 

I've been on away for the past few months and was expecting the brilliant Michael Greenblatt to help me buy a new pc and set up FSX (now I'm back). I've just learnt of the really sad news about his death - RIP to him and condolences to all of his family and friends at this incredibly sad time.

 

I'm basically wanting to buy a new pc and set up FSX to be as good as it can.

 

Are there already any links or resources that people can point to for this? And where are the best things to tweak graphics cards etc?

 

I'm thinking of ordering this computer - http://3xs.scan.co.uk/ShowSystem.asp?SystemID=1431 I don't know that much about computers, how do you think this will run FSX?

 

Also where are the best guides for setting it up, what addons to get etc? I'm assuming there are no other companies offering what FSGS did?

 

I'm wanting to spend about £1500 on the computer and addons.

 

Thanks for all of your help in advance,

Rich

 

PS - I'm not new to FSX, just haven't been able to use it for the past 3 year so quite out of date!

Wow that's actually a really nice PC - never seen one that nice from a web site. If they really do OC it it will do very well. I'd personally get a little faster ram, like DDR3 2133 or 2400 mhz

 

Regarding setup instructions... there's a large pinned topic at top of this forum:

Losing Michael was a huge loss for this community but there a lot of other kind people that will help you on this very forum.

 

Addons... well it depends what you like... I prefer general aviation... so

 

RealAir Legacy

RealAir Turbine Duke

Carenado T210M

Flight T182T

Flight1 Mustang

PMDG 737NG (bbj style)

 

Orbx addons, any airport by FSDT or FlyTampa, there's some good freeware stuff too.

Hi,

 

Thanks very much for your reply. Looks like they don't offer any faster ram - if you click on configure in that link they are all 1600 MHz.

 

Out of interest do you think this computer is any better? http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/view/Fsx-1500-pc/

 

What addons would you recommend for scenery/weather? Like REX etc.

 

Thanks for your help,

Rich
