FSX-MS To FSX Users on the Fence................FS98

[houstonhear 0]

Yep, get out that old 3.5 inch floppy drive and re-install FS95.

 

 

Wait a minute!  Both of my floppy drives are 5 1/4".  Since when have they made 3 1/2" drives?  It must take a pot load of those little floppies to load a program.

4. You will have twice as much fun (unless you are currently running P3D).

 

 

Seeing that FS98 has lost the 'land-o-matic' capability of former versions, I will stick to FS95!

I may switch to FS98, but do the planes have wing flex? If not, I'll have to stay with FSX.

Should I enable HDR with the DX6 fixer?

I find myself even drifting back to FS5.1 on occasion Ollie.  Sometimes I get stutters when using FS95 :p0805:

Jim I skip FS98 because I'm still on Win 3.1 and FS4 love all those floppy disks and I hate Win 95 :blush:

Sorry then, there is nothing we can do to help you. I have heard there is a new OS being released soon that you might enjoy more.

 

Has anyone tried the OPTIMIZE_PARTS fix on FS98?  I swear my fps went from 400 to 402... best fix ever!

Yep, for sure and that .5% performance increase will allow you to move your FS98 sliders full right now.

 

 

Change your FIBRE_FRAME_FRACTION to 0.01...it should give you a 4000% increase in FPS.

I need to see a YouTube video of a before and after flight before I believe that one.

Just wait for the Fog version of FS98 and you won't need those.

Only those planes that are designated as professional training aids have this.

Only for FS98. But on the other hand you do have default airport buildings being shown, which is a plus!

You need to upgrade your computer. That old IBM just isn't going to cut it anymore, sorry!

I suggest moving up to a system with the Intel 200 MHz Pentium Pro processor, which will also future proof your investment.

Count me out on all this, for I refuse to lower myself to use any sim that is sold for "personal entertainment" uses.

This thread is exactly the kind of garbage this forum doesn't need.

 

This thread is exactly the kind of stuff this forum needs. How many CTD and crappy FPS posts can you stand? A little intelligent humor goes a long way.....

Pure BS. Everyone knows that Lamborghini is better than Ferrari.

For us non-professionals, there was even an 'Entertainment' button!     :ph34r:  :rolleyes:

For the record, FS98 was crap. Just like FS5 and FSFW95 before it.

 

** Controversial mode OFF **

I was always afraid to hit that button thinking it might take me to some porn site.  I wonder if Jim knows what it's for
