ORGANIZED thread for FSX demo issues

[Guest elias800]

First time I used flight simulator was in 1986, with version 2 of the game. I was 10 years old. It was on an Amiga 2000 and I was ecstatic with the

FSX still feels too much like FS9 dragging a heavy ball n' chain.Terrible performance. Awful Terrain engine. Amateur texturing.Do MS engineers double as artists?You guys have to become more art driven & stop relying on data driven technology.

I cant seem to hear any ATC transimissions although I can see the text. I am also unable to here any of the audio for the missions. I have the voices slider set to full right.

The textures may well be superb. Unfortunately when running at 15FPS & suffering from severe blurring, its kind of hard to see them.Considering the same area runs at 100+ fps under FS9. MS have developed an absolute disgrace. All the old bad features are still present in abundance. Most the new features are disappointing, poor performing or for the most part, just aimed at the mainstream crowd.DX10 isn't going to save them. Vista will only make it worst initially.It'll be the end of 2007 before DX10 cards are stable & optimized enough to shift mess at a decent FPS.Only Microsoft engineers can improve this by optimizing their Jurassic engine about 800%.& please for the love of god, upgrade the ATC.

That happened to me too. Check your audio control panel and that voice output is going to your speakers and not your headset.

I would split the winnings with you.

Bug:Enabled SNOW and you will see that you actually fly through a tunnel with snow-textures placed around this tunnel. Looks pretty ugly.Also on ground, the snow-flakes seem to nearly not move.Looks like the snow-system is still too hot with bugs =)

>Try flying the ultralight around the lighthouse and the>container ship there are seagulls!! :)Thanks, but I tried that, couldn't find any :(I tried some different settings, at the end I had a lot of things up on full (everything in the scenery part, full car/ship/boat traffic). It made everything look great, but a bit hard on performance ;) But I think the performance was better than I expected, got 7-10 fps when flying around between the lighthouse and container ship, maybe a bit less when I had a lot of the island i sight.What settings are you using, maybe I missed something that makes animals appear?I saw a shadow in the water, which kind of resembled a whale, but since I've been seeing a lot of sailing ship shadows without the boat, it could have been one of them...I'm going to try some more around that area now, hopefully I'll fins something :)Klas
