i bought fsw yesterday and i'm pretty impressed so far.  I can run it fully maxed out on my Alienware Aurora Desktop and it never dips below 20fps.....so far so good in early access:biggrin:

After the recent updates, installing freemeshx, and increasing the lod radius, FSW is looking pretty good for me. Fast becoming my main sim.

I purchased it to support a new sim. But i realy don't fly GA. However, i did some testing and i didn't liked RAM usagge. I ordered more RAM(becouse of P3D v4 too)and i'll test it again.

Sim looked nice. Bring some airliners and i'm in

This is a great update!  Thank you.  FSW is really looking good.
