Robin does not use Autogen,nor AI traffic.

I had a lengthy PM conversation with him about how those two items are the primary cause of VAS going up and up and up during a long haul flight.

Test flight prooved this.

(I know now I discovered nothing new, but it was new for me!)

Anyway, I still use Autogen and AItraffic cause without it I find FSX boring.

There is compromise and there is......... Well, forget it!

2 key points I saw...

 

(1) FSX as a software platform is unfinished unstable junk.

 

(2) WIthout AI and autogen FSX is lifeless, but you will get pretty good FPS in that sterile environment.

Thank you, gentlemen, for your help

Stay under $1000.00 with PC desktop and when money is available upgrade slowly . I remove the powersupply to upgrade and then get gpu that can run one monitor at 1080p. With FSX figure thier diminishing returns. Care more about smoothness than fps.

I was told by a hardware specialist that upgrading slowly is the worst you can do.

 

You choose the best GPU and CPU you can afford.

Then you wait for these GPU and CPU to be on the market for at least a few months (3-6).

After a few months you can be sure that the latest/newest motherboards actually support all the features your GPU and CPU provide.

Also, the drivers will have been gone through several updates to fix problems!

 

You can not be sure an upgrade to a new GPU will help anything at all on an old motherboard!

 

Example: When GPUs with PCIe3.0 came out, if you were to put that on your old PCIe 2:0 motherboard, that would have been wasting money!

The PMDG recommends usage of Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, and Haswell processors with most their products.

Will the Ivy Bridge-E work any better?

Thank you
