What types of computers are used during the development of Flight Simulator?I am curious. Since the late 80

We've got lots of stuff here, the majority of which is below the specs of most people posting on this forum. The company buys standard Dell machines (at least most of the ones here are Dells) and then we add in after-market video cards. Normally we buy current technology (like nVidia 7000-series or ATI X1900s) as long as it's not too expensive. No super-secret new technology here. Sorry to disappoint...

Dang! Just when I thought I could brew up a great conspiracy theory, you have to spoil it :(Thanks for the information anyway though tdragger :)By the way you responded, I am supposing you are a MSFS team member, if so, thanks for a wonderful platform and good luck on this and future versions of MSFS.

Wow, in 1954 they new that PC users would be playing Flight Simulator... They included a steering wheel!I knew Microsoft had a huge computer, can you imagen all the duel processors and SLI video cards that fit into that Machine!!??Nice one Brew
