August 15, 200619 yr hi Fellowsimmers,I tested the FSXdemo, but i am not convinced at all...Some parts are nice/good and some not!I think i keep FS9 running as long FSX doesn't show better things...ByeBert
August 15, 200619 yr If you're not convinced at all, where's the dilemma?Regards,http://www.bremmekamp.com/img/misc/avsim.jpg

August 16, 200619 yr I am very inclined to wait til Vista/DX10 comes along. With all the addons I have going flawlessly now, it's kinda hard to get behind moving over to FSX with what I've seen so far. I'm sure it will be a no-brainer when Vista/DX10 comes out, and when . . . I have the upgraded hardware to run it well. Who knows if I can remain patient. I guess that will in part depend on the comments posted by new FSX users.Noel Noel System: 9900X3D Noctua NH-D15 G2, MSI Pro 650-P WiFi, G.SKILL 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000, WD NVMe 2Tb x 1, Sabrent NVMe 2Tb x 1, RTX 4090 FE, Corsair RM1000W PSU, Win11 Home, LG Ultra Curved Gsync Ultimate 3440x1440, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Case, TCA Boeing Edition Yoke & TQ, Cessna Trim Wheel, RTSS Framerate Limiter w/ Front Edge Sync.

August 16, 200619 yr Ya know, I've seen a lot of people say they're going to wait to buy FSX until Vista/DX10 comes out. I can see waiting to upgrade your rig but why wait on the software if your current rig can run it? Wouldn't you like to be getting to know it for a few extra months? Am I just insane about this???
August 16, 200619 yr I think the vast majority of us here are with you on this, Mike. i.e. You're not insane :)James
August 16, 200619 yr You may be just insane about that TD!Beyond that, as I say I may not have the patience to hold off as I am an avid supporter of software development for flight sims and sometimes buy stuff just to keep the show going. With that said, I also have a paucity of free hard drive space, so that is having an influence on me as well. I also don't have the benefit of seeing FSX personally, I've only seen screen shots, so who knows I may be enthralled by the improvements. I am still using good old Win2K Pro and alas, the demo won't run on it apparently.Noel Noel System: 9900X3D Noctua NH-D15 G2, MSI Pro 650-P WiFi, G.SKILL 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR5 6000, WD NVMe 2Tb x 1, Sabrent NVMe 2Tb x 1, RTX 4090 FE, Corsair RM1000W PSU, Win11 Home, LG Ultra Curved Gsync Ultimate 3440x1440, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Case, TCA Boeing Edition Yoke & TQ, Cessna Trim Wheel, RTSS Framerate Limiter w/ Front Edge Sync.

August 16, 200619 yr Not Insane. If you have a gaming rig that can run FSX then theres no point in waiting.
August 16, 200619 yr Mike, you're not insane - probably! Anyway, I think the demo is excellent apart from the obvious rough edges. I'll definitely be buying FSX as soon as it reaches these shores (the UK). Best regards and many thanks, Chris
