I've figured it out, concerning the FSX defenders!!!

[Guest Logan826]

wasted dribble ??? The the sad part is the guy is dead on for not owning it. I am one of the lucky ones, who after fighting the activation thing and the install problems, can run this. But by all means the guys is right about his observation for the average pc user. So don't spit out crap like this unless you have something useful to say. It's people like you that clutter these theads with stupid one liners that mean ####.

You have 20,000+ airports and God knows how many square miles of world to fly in, yet you load up perhaps the busiest and most structurally developed airport on the planet, and THAT's the basis on which you judge the entire package? Your PC can't handle the most demanding parts of the virtual world (even if the other 96% of it runs fine), and somehow Microsoft lied to you? Am I the only one who finds any lunacy whatsoever in this logic?Let's get something straight here....unless Microsoft specifically stated on the packaging that with the minimum or even recommended hardware you would be able to run the sim at full detail, you have not been lied to, and nothing has been misrepresented. You ASSUMED that because you met the hardware requirements, that you should therefore be able to enjoy the sim with all options enabled and all sliders maxed, at whatever arbitrary FPS level you deem acceptable. Apparently you and many other people assumed incorrectly.Could FSX be less of a resource hog? I'm sure. Could it have been optimized further? No doubt. However in my opinion, anyone who has spent any amount of time on this planet playing PC games should have SOME realistic expectations about what their PC can and cannot handle. Anyone who frequents this forum has even less of an excuse to be surprised given the performance track record of every other FS version at launch. Bad coding or optimization can only account for so much before a user must realize and more importantly accept that they simply don't have the power to run a game well.These conspiracy theories are really getting out of hand.

Excuse me? Exactly who do you think you are?A forum is for a fair and open exchange of points of view, there have been several posts on this thread regarding slipping standards of post content.Congratulations you just brought it down another notch.BC

What are you, like 12 ??? If so your actions are understood and I am sorry for attacking you. I don't pick on childern.

Did you get what you wanted Chris? Trolling for another waste of bandwidth. You post this kind of junk then walk away. What's up with that??? Sorry, but we are also entitled to our opinions as you. I love FSX, I am just under 100 hours on it and have not once loaded up FS9. I CAN put things into perspective. FSX is put together well and this is not based on 20 + years of flight simming but also on a real world commercial license.Do this, Chris... go buy a copy first. Just so tired of your trolling topics and posts. You add nothing to these forums, at least in view of FSX so stick with the FS9 forum bud. When you get FSX,come on back. I am sure all of the a really excited user will welcome you with open arms. Like you, I am entitled to MY opinion too. Stop calling me a a really excited user and go buy a copy of FSX so your position can somewhat more respectable.Funny how he never comes back and carries on a disccusion. Just drops and runs.

I don't pick on childern.More like 55; have been around here for around here for around 14 years, and am watching this forum go downhill fast. I don't need to read constant testimonials from those who don't own FSX, yet make a vain attempt to tell me why I shouldn't like it, that it's crap and so on. I also find it very embarrasing to be part of a forum where developers, beta testers, and just those who enjoy the program, are now fitted with names such as a really excited user's, idiots or just being dillusional.No, I believe I'm much to grown up for this forum...I honestly feel like it's become a kiddie school around here.

It seems like everytime the board gets quite somebody will go off on a FSX bash thread.

>It seems like everytime the board gets quite somebody will go>off on a FSX bash thread.That's what children do when they want attention.I agree wholeheartedly with LAdamson. It seems like overnight this community of intelligent and cordial adults suddenly became an XBox360 forum.

There are plenty of postings from us who like FSX for one reason or another, along with CPU specs; including those from myself. If you want to ignore the positive posting/replies, while at the same time attempting to make a valid claim regarding FSX as a non-owner, then it's really not worth the time reading.L.Adamson

[Guest Logan826]

In respect, i can fully agree with you. Although everyone is entitled to their opinion as this is an open forum. But you or I making stupid comments doesn't make the problem go away. I just feel unless the post is just out right stupid ie: "I have a 1.0 ghz and a 64meg gpu and I can't turn the sliders all the way to the right, this game sucks" shy of that, Then anyone should be allowed to post his/her opinion without being attack. You have to admitt, yes this sim runs, does it run great and as advertised, #### no. Dan
