Just keep in mind this is the most fps freindly area on the globe. I have Islands of the west indies which covers this area and I know very well. Losts and losts of water with small islands.Now if I can get 1/2 the performance around KLAX,KSFO, New York ect, Im a happy guy.

Great shot. I agree FSX demo is just great! VFR flying will be far more interesting.

>>I haven't seen such crappy performance on the average user>machine since FS2000. Oh come on. That demo is way more fluid than FS2000 ever thought about being.It'll be all right in the end. Lets not get wild-eyed about it all.Rhett

Exact-ly!Someone gets it at least!10 points for you Christian S.Rhett

You should read Tdragger's comments in the "FSX Demo code said to be old" thread,"The demo code is the same as the full product. In fact it's even newer than what our beta testers have. Sheesh."Just to let you know, FSX has been in the Beta tester's hands ever since May 06 I believe (or at least June). I'm trying to be optimistic but I really think Vista is the OS for this new version of Flight Simulator not XP (which is perfectly O.K. if that's the case)...

I can't believe that STILL when you floor the throttle in a learjet you still only get a dull humm and a lazy roll. What about that classic back of the seat roar! This constantly gets overlooked for all jets.

>I can't believe that STILL when you floor the throttle in a>learjet you still only get a dull humm and a lazy roll. What>about that classic back of the seat roar! This constantly gets>overlooked for all jets.I assume you're talking about the CRJ? Have you ever been on a real one? I'm on them pretty frequently and the plane is VERY quiet on takeoff unless you are sitting at the very back right next to the engines. You really don't hear anything other than a dull hum like that.

I noticed that when I was on a 747 in real life too, we shot out of RAF Fairford on full-throttle (according to the Cap'n) and I can believe that as we were pinned in our seats, but noisy? No way noisy, really quiet from inside. Bet it made a racket from outside though...

I'd like to know why (as some optimists state here) FSX would run any better on windows vista? (apart from graphics being better with dx10)Joris

>I'd like to know why (as some optimists state here) FSX would>run any better on windows vista? (apart from graphics being>better with dx10)>>Joris>yes why? I know of nothing in Vista that would make any difference whatsoever, and yes, I have tried many Vista builds and read alot about it since I work in IT (except the mentioned DX10). So why in the world would it run better on Vista? If anything it should run worse because Vista on its own takes alot more memory and CPU resources which thus leaves less for FSX.Pure marketing IMO which might also be why we never get an argument for this by any team member.
